Things to do

You'll be spoilt for choice with things to do in and around Vellandreath Holiday Cottages.

The sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of Whitesand Bay lie a short amble from the cottages, providing a place for energetic activities such as surfing and kayaking, or lazy days reading a book under a parasol.

This is superb walking country, with breathtaking views, eye-watering sunsets and more flora and fauna than you can shake a walking stick at. Vellandreath Valley is the perfect starting point for any stroll, walk, ramble or hike.

Sennen is also a mecca for surfers. With high-quality waves peeling all the way up the beach from Sennen Cove to Gwenver it easy to see why.

With a range of top quality pubs and restaurants just a short walk or drive away plus world-famous attractions like Cape Cornwall and the Minack Theatre open-air theatre play just a few miles away, there's no end to the choice of activities available.

Eating out

If you don't feel like cooking in your fabulous holiday cottage by the sea then why not let someone else do it for you? Sample the delights of the Atlantic Ocean and Westcountry Farms prepared by some of the great restaurants, bistros and pubs in the area.
