Vellandreath Cornish Cottages welcomes guests to Penrose Cottage, by the sea in Sennen, Cornwall, England - located in a privately owned Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty just 200 metres from the beach with great sea views. "A little piece of heaven..." That’s how the local postman has described Vellandreath Valley, a lovely & hidden corner of Cornwall overlooking the wide sweep of Whitesands Bay. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty this delightful holiday cottage is set in this privately owned, unspoilt 8-acre valley next to the beach, bordered by a stream & sand dunes offering spectacular panoramic sea views with distant glimpses of the isles of Scilly Converted with flair and imagination this quiet and magical setting is only accessible on foot down the sandy beach path from Sunny Corner Lane, Sennen, Cornwall. This cosy Cornish cottage is perfect for families and boasts a south-facing garden with sea views and a sheltered slate patio. Unspoilt, traditional and attractively furnished in cottage style, this south-facing property overlooks the sea and is set in a private walled garden, threaded by a stream, just 250 metres from the beach. • Entrance hall with coat cupboard and slate floor. • Living room with exposed stonework and beams, leather sofas, ‘Victorian’ wood-burning stove in granite inglenook and rugs on slate floor. • Dining area. • Separate fitted pine kitchen with wonderful sea views. • Stable door leading to secluded patio and split-level garden, again with wonderful views. • Stairs to first floor: Attractive double bedroom with ornate antique bed. • Further cosy bedroom with single bed and built-in bed. • Small pretty bunk bedroom with skylight. • Stripped pine floor with rugs in all bedrooms. • Large bathroom with shower attachment, toilet, slate floor and superb views. • An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Vellandreath has No Vehicular Access = No cars = No Traffic = Peace & Quiet. Out front, the beach is seasonally watched over by a team of experienced RNLI lifeguards and has a number of award winning surf schools offering surf lessons for all abilities and array of watercraft and wetsuits to hire. The local Pub, Beach Restaurant & Bar, Cafe and shopping facilities are all a handy half mile walk away… Vellandreath Cornish Cottages is a family run business. We have been offering our traditional Cornish Cottages to generations of families, couples and individuals for their holidays for almost 40 years with many of our guests returning year after year. Penrose is well appointed in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – a haven for botanists, wildlife enthusiasts, beachcombers, climbers, ramblers and watermen. Vellandreath (also known as Vellan Dreath) is a beautiful, privately owned unspoilt valley designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty by the National trust. Located by the beach known as Whitesands bay but also known as Sennen beach and Gwynver Beach in Sennen within West Penwith (the Land’s End peninsula) which is the southernmost area of England, and the most picturesque part of Cornwall. It is rich in dramatic beaches, wooded valleys, moorland, rolling farmland, and hidden coves; much of it is designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The far South West is warmed by south westerly breezes from the Azores, and is one of the most unpolluted areas in Britain. It has a special, indefinable quality recognized by locals and visitors alike. Its 144 square miles still supports an active small scale farming and fishing community, with a unique beauty that draws visitors back year after year. The coastline is full of beaches, ranging from safe bathing beaches to secluded coves to wild and rocky places. Some are easily accessible and some less so. Although there are several traditional seaside resorts for family visitors, the area also attracts walkers, naturalists, artists, and anyone seeking a quiet haven, with amenities close by. The sea is crystal clear, jade green, and a comfortable swimming temperature into late autumn. The Land’s End peninsula is in the path of the warm Gulf Stream, and cold weather is rare. Frost and snow are rare, and the climate is ideal for semi-tropical plants, many of which can be seen in Vellandreath’s valley gardens West Penwith also has more ancient sites than any other area of Britain, ranging from stone age to iron age monuments and settlements. These include four stone circles, 90 standing stones, and numerous hill forts, village settlements, quoits, and burial barrows. There are dozens of beaches on the Land’s End peninsula and they are amongst the most unpolluted in Europe. They range from safe, sandy family beaches with lifeguards to wild and rocky coves. There are many coves where the access is difficult, with wonderfully crowd-free bathing, and others with car parks adjacent to popular resorts

Response from the manager
Thank you for staying with us and for your review. We are sorry the cottage did not meet your expectations. Penrose is advertised as a family cottage designed for 'Mum, Dad and the kids'. The cottage has one good sized double bedroom a smaller twin room which is great for kids / teenagers and a small bunk bed room recommended for children only. We are sorry that as you opted for separate bedrooms it meant that one of you had a larger room and the other a smaller bedroom. We do have other cottages in the same location that offer two double bedrooms and perhaps one of those would have suited you better. It's such a shame you experienced bad weather at the time of your stay and had to spend so much time in doors which restricted your experience of enjoying the wonderful location. Penrose is typical granite-stoned Cornish Cottage presented in the traditional style with antique furnishings and as such does not have the modern fixtures and fittings or size for that matter of a new build house. We feel that is part of its charm and many families have enjoyed holidays there, we are just sorry it wasn't for you. The previous guests did indeed misuse the woodturning stove by burning coal in it against our instructions. We did try to air the cottage prior to your arrival but were hampered by the weather and did not want you to arrive to a cold cottage. However the lingering scent of the fire did go away once the cottage was aired after your arrival but we are sorry for this and did do our best to rectify the situation. The blackened glass has been replaced and was ordered as soon as we were made aware of its demise. The cottage has been recently redecorated but the decor will remain as so many of our other guests love it. We do hope that this won't put you off staying with us again.

We were extremely disappointed with our stay at Penrose. Whilst the grounds and location are absolutely stunning, the cottage itself is tired, dated and cheaply equipped. The house is marketed and pri… More
