Such a peaceful, beautiful luxury house
The house is fantastic! Stunning views in a wonderful location. Super clean, very well equipped and comfortable with everything you need. We enjoyed watching the boats and ships passing by and the birds. Walking paths nearby are excellent. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive. We were all extremely happy being there with no complaints.

The most perfect spot
Although the weather was rather challenging we had the most relaxing holiday- rarely need to get in the car with great walks to Pednvounder, Nanzijal and multiple opportunities to see seals surfing the waves! The property is fantastic- will be back to my favourite part of Cornwall Katherine as host was responsive and very friendly

Hands down the best holiday house I've stayed in.
Hands down the best holiday house I've stayed in. It was a real wrench to leave. An utterly blissful week. We came as a family of four (two children under 4), with my sister and mother joining us for a spell. Everybody loved it! Especially the dramatic reveal of the views on the first morning. Vessacks had everything we could wish for in terms of amenities, games, tools and books. Its crowning jewel is its stunning views straight out to the ocean. The house is right on the cliff edge and sympathetically laid out to let the sea in at every possible point - try doing the washing-up to a stormy Celtic Sea, a real treat! The house is very clean, with excellent quality furnishings. Lots of interesting adventures close by, too - all thoughtfully laid out in the welcome pack. Katherine is an amazing host, always on hand to answer questions and give us the best possible experience. We love Vessacks!

Welcoming house and host
Loved our stay at Vessacks. Katherine, the host, was brilliant at quickly replying to my many, many queries and (as someone who has lots of allergies) it was great to find a truly dog-free house. The house is beautifully situated, with nature so close by - we saw a charm of 26 goldfinch in the hedges one day and a badger on several evenings. Even though a few days were stormy the house was lovely and warm, clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a perfect holiday. We would love to return some day.

What a stunning place on earth!
We and our friends, a total 8 people between the age of 14 and 52, had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful house with these lovely and stunning views for 2 weeks. Eveything was perfect, from the very well equipped kitchen to the clean and modern bathrooms and the bedrooms with most comfortable beds. The communication with Katherine was always uncomplicated, very friendly and extremly helpful. Exploring Cornwall and its many picturesque villages, coves and beaches made our holiday a very special and rememberable one! We recommend the Vessacks to all who are looking for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation, away from the hustle and bustle of this world :-) Thank you for a wonderful stay and till the next time!

Why they chose this property

Vessacks has some of the very best views in Cornwall. It is directly on the South West Coastal Path with sea views from almost every room. At night the sky comes alive with galaxies, stars, comets, satellites, planets and the moon all visible.

Guests repeatedly write about the amazing location, abundant wild life and many nearby beaches. Many of our guests visit year after year; some have been coming since the 1980s.
