“A little piece of heaven . . .” That’s how the local postman has described Vellandreath, a lovely and hidden corner of West Penwith in Far West Cornwall overlooking the wide sweep of Whitesands Bay, Sennen.

Well-appointed in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – a haven for botanists, wildlife enthusiasts, beachcombers, climbers, ramblers and watermen – this delightful holiday cottage in Cornwall by the sea is set in the privately owned, unspoilt 8-acre Vellandreath Valley in Sennen, by the beach, bordered by a stream and sand dunes offering spectacular panoramic sea views all year round.

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.

 

Sandpipers is a reverse level dwelling enjoying its own wooden bridge just 250 meters from the beach with spectacular sea views over Whitesands Bay, Sennen and the Atlantic Ocean.



What our guests say...

We had a wonderful stay at Sandpipers. Beautiful views, and an incredibly sweet cabin that was just the right size for 2 plus our little dog. The directions were really clear, and we had help with taking our luggage to and from the car to the cottage which was super helpful…...

Anna Dudley

The most amazing cottage stay we’ve ever had. From the gorgeous cottage itself, to its quiet, tranquil surroundings. Sandpipers cottage was perfect for the relaxing, break away we wanted, and our German shepherd loved his first little holiday away with us.

Kerry-Ann

Had the most lovely time staying at Sandpipers with my husband and 2 dogs. The cottages are in the most peaceful valley, a 2 minutes walk from the beach. There was everything we needed and the bed was so confortable...

Karlyn Matheson

The cottage itself is cosy but very well equipped. It was perfect for our stay! The location is just beautiful right in the middle of the valley with the beach below. Sandpipers has a courtyard below and a decked area by the front door - we sat here most evenings watching some beautiful sunsets...
