Absolutely stunning. Within days of returning home we have booked to stay again next year. A beautiful tranquil place full of nature and panoramic views. We hardly used our car, once we arrived we didn't want to leave. A few minutes down the road is a lovely small beach where we watched seals and swam in blue clear waters. There is a gorgeous cafe with delicious ice-cream, coffee and cakes. Lands End and quiet beaches are within walking distance in one direction, the Minack Theatre is 20mins walk in the other direction. It is particularly quiet during the evening, a short walk behind the cottage are amazing views across the ocean. We watched a fox from the dining room window, endless birds and seals bathing on the rocks. The cottage is beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable and just a joy to stay in. I can't recommend this place enough.
