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.

The house, with its small sunny garden and comfortable accommodation, means you can have a very relaxing holiday in an excellent location.

Beautiful cottage with everything we needed. Thank you for the ‘welcome hamper’ – it was much appreciated. Weather a bit wet and windy but we still managed to see the sights, and they are lovely. We will be returning when the world is back to normal….soon we hope. Thank you for a lovely stay.

What a beautiful cottage and a lovely location. We have had amazing weather – no waterproofs needed at all! We went to Sennen Cove – fantastic beach for surfing – and a walk to Land’s End. Kynance Cove is like a tropical beach and the walk along the South West Coast Path to the Lizard is outstanding. Thank you to Cathy and Jerry for a great cottage stay.
