Property details

With Cadgwith cove, one of the most photographed coves in England, less than a 10 minute stroll, and the National Trust wooded valley at Poltesco only 5 minutes away, this is an ideal spot from which to explore.

We had a brilliant two weeks at Whelk Cottage, with great weather so we were able to get out every day and enjoy the sun. The cottage was as always very cosy and had everything we needed for our stay – a real home from home. The wine and chocolate on arrival was very much appreciated. The bed was ‘out of this world!’. So comfortable, with beautiful bed linen – I could have slept all day! Thank you for making our holidays at Whelk so enjoyable.

Wonderful half-term week – glorious weather for the first half. We’re big foodies so recommend the Shipwright Arms at Helford (best view), Gear Farm pasties (best pasties), Black Swan at Gweek (best roast) and the Polurrian Hotel (best afternoon tea). For a great day out take the train from St Erth to St Ives and try the Thai Talay. We really enjoyed the cosiness of the cottage. Just fabulous. Thank you.
