We have just returned from a relaxing week at the cottage. What a gem, I can see why there are many return visitors. Many thanks to Danny and Jo for letting us change the date of our booking at late notice, as otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to go. What a lovely place to stay! Our week was largely peaceful as hoped, punctuated by one afternoon of excitement when a jet ski overturned in the sea off West Portholland beach, throwing its two riders into the water. The ambulance, coastguard and air ambulance attended promptly, and thankfully all ended happily.

West Portholland beach & the cottage.
The location
Cliff Cottage is an original fisherman’s cottage built at the same time as the lime kilns on the beach.
It’s position on the coast road between East and West Portholland ensures spectacular sea views from every room and a gem of a garden perched on the headland looks out over the beaches and Veryan Bay. The garden is also an ideal spot for watching gannets diving in the bay, fulmars nesting in the cliff and for stargazing after dark.

The Eden Project
West Portholland beach is literally a stone’s throw away and East Porthollad beach a 2 minute walk. At low tide the 2 sandy beaches become one and it is possible to walk between them over the sand. This cosy property is in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The peaceful area ensures a restful holiday although many activities and places to visit are within easy reach. The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are less than 10 miles away and there are many National Trust gardens within an easy drive.
