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.

Local amenities include a general store, post office and cafe, two churches, the Old Cellars restaurant, and the Cadgwith Cove Inn. There is also a local bus service. The house, with its small sunny garden and comfortable accommodation, means you can have a very relaxing holiday in an excellent location.

J Sacha and family, Oxfordshire Whelk Cottage always makes us feel welcome - the care you give means it is so easy and comfortable to move into. You provide everything we need and I always look forward to the bottle of wine that's there to greet us. The new washing machine was a nice addition and these investments year upon year are good to see. Reading through the visitors book we can tell there are a lot of people who feel exactly as we do and really love the place. We shall be booking soon for our next escape to Cadgwith.

We had a fab family holiday and an amazing time exploring the Lizard peninsula. Our favourite beach was Poldhu (not dog friendly during the day in the summer) and also Kennack East beach, Dollar Cove and Porthleven – all great dog-friendly beaches all year round. Porthleven also has some quaint lovely shops around the harbour. We enjoyed the fish barbecue in Cadgwith. Thank you for the memories.
