"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. 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. Sandpipers, situated just 250 meters from the beach, is a reverse level dwelling maximising its situation and resulting in spectacular sea views. Access to this Cornish cottage is via a wooden bridge in true nautical style. The open plan living area has wonderful sea views from its large picture window and balcony - superb for watching the sunset. Sandpipers' high ceilings with exposed beams, granite walls and lime-waxed wooden floors result in a light and airy feel. Outside there is a pretty, private courtyard / patio bordered by tropical plants. 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 an 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. 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 in 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. The water is clear and jade-coloured; superb for swimming and surfing, and the beaches are ideal for sun bathing. Beaches vary from sandy to rocky and pebbly, and some have safe and shallow bathing for children, many have nearby shops and cafes catering for family visitors, but it is also easy to find remote and private places. The local inn and the attractive little fishing harbour of Sennen Cove are only 10 minutes’ walk across the vast expanse of the sandy Blue Flag beach, which is perfect for swimming, water sports and famous for surfing. If you are lucky, you may see dolphins, spot the odd seal or basking shark. Rock climbing is popular on the cliffs and headlands. This is superb walking
