Vellandreath Cornish Cottages offer Castaways, a charming cottage in Sennen, Cornwall, with stunning sea views and lush gardens. Set in an 8-acre valley near the beach, this contemporary cottage is a little piece of heaven according to the local postman. The cottage features a south-facing former net loft snugly set in the sand dunes, with a sun-trapped terraced garden and underfloor heating for a cosy stay. The open plan living area and bespoke conservatory bring the outside inside, merging seamlessly with the garden.
With exposed beams, high ceilings, and granite walls, Castaways exudes character and charm. The cottage has a spacious living/dining room with a freestanding kitchen area, a pretty double bedroom with an en-suite wet room, and a family bathroom on the first floor. Vellandreath valley, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers peace and quiet with no vehicular access, creating a serene environment for guests. The beach is just 250 meters away, watched over by experienced RNLI lifeguards and perfect for surfing, swimming, and water sports.
The Land's End peninsula, where Vellandreath is located, boasts dramatic beaches, wooded valleys, and ancient sites like stone circles and hill forts. The area is ideal for walkers, naturalists, and artists seeking a quiet haven with crystal clear waters and a semi-tropical climate. Nearby attractions include the Minack Theatre, St. Ives, Penzance, and day trips to the Isles of Scilly. The local inn, fishing village of Sennen Cove, and picturesque Mousehole harbour offer dining and shopping options, while rock climbing, cycling, and dolphin spotting are popular activities in the area. A stay at Castaways promises a unique and memorable experience in this unspoilt corner of Cornwall.
