When you stay in a holiday cottage in West Cornwall, the end of the land with its ancient heritage and remarkable rock formations, you can’t help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the fascinating landscapes and coastal views, from the famous bustling town of St Ives to the unspoilt wilds of the Lizard Peninsula. With so much to see and do, you’ll love the flexibility that a self-catering cottage offers you, allowing you to come and go as you please.
West Cornwall has a rich smuggling and wrecking history with tales of murder and deception. Along this coastline you can enjoy a Cornish ale where smugglers once gathered, or head out along the coastline to explore the caves that hid their contraband. For an alternative experience, visit the Minack Theatre, carved into the coastal cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Exposed to the elements, it will be a moment of your life you’ll never forget. St Ives, well known for its brightness, even on a cloudy day, has artist’s flocking to the area to capture this beautiful town in watercolour and oils, and for a great day trip, stroll across the causeway or hop on a ferry to discover the medieval castle that is St Michael's Mount.
The best thing about choosing a holiday home in West Cornwall is that you’re never far from beautiful beaches or mesmerising attractions. Within 20 minutes you can swap the fishing harbours and sheltered shores of the southern coast for the peninsula’s rugged north coast or wild west.
