  • "The location of this property is its best feature - the cove is in view, with seals swimming within view from the cottage window."

    The cottage is well appointed and has all the equipment expected. The boiler downstairs smells of fumes, but otherwise all was perfect.

  • "Corner Cottage was the perfect getaway in an idyllic setting."

    Porthgwarra is beautiful and placed in an area where you can just leave all worries behind and take picturesque walks for miles and miles. The cottage itself is very well equipped and cosy, the bed and pillows so comfortable. There is absolutely no light pollution in the cove and it was amazing to sleep so well in the quietness (only lightly broken by the waves lapping onto the beach) waking only to the dawn light. The Cornish hamper is amazing and every bit of it enjoyed. The local Cornish pasties supplied by the cafe opposite are delicious. The WiFi issue we had was resolved very quickly (Thanks ) We have no problem recommending this lovely holiday cottage to anyone wanting a perfect hideaway.

  • "This was our second visit to the beautiful Porthgwarra."

    We love it! Compact but luxurious too. The only thing that is missing is two bath sheets. Bath towels are quite small and bath sheets would be so welcome. We hope we will be able to escape to Corner Cottage again.

  • "Loved our stay at Corner Cottage."

    Extremely comfortable with THE best view of an unspoilt coastline. Was a joy washing up looking at the view!! Bed was very comfy with a powerful shower and all very well thought through interior, making the most of every space. Only thing missing was oven gloves!. Porthgwarra cafe is right next door with fantastic pasties. A true gem of a property.

    Thank you for a wonderful stay at this special place. We loved introducing her to its beauty and hope she's going to love the sea and bird life as much as we do.

    Great views from window. I would say this is a great place to stay as a base and get away from it all. Thank you for welcome basket, much appreciated.

  • "We have stayed in Corner and Cove cottages while managed by the St Aubyn estate many times in the last 15 years."

    This year a decline in management and attention to detail was noticeable. Unlike before, there was no indication of who was in charge, and there was no representative present on the spot. Management: The password for the WiFi no longer worked. I twice phoned one of the two phone numbers given for the 'management team' to sort this out. The first time I did not manage to get through at all; the second time I spoke to a lady who said she would look into this and report back but failed to do so ( a text message would have been fine). So free WiFi as listed was not available. Key safe pass code: When I made the booking we were told that this was the same as we had used in the past. The message a week before arrival did not point out that the code had been changed, and as it contained the same numbers as before though in a partially different order I did not notice this. Fortunately someone on the spot was able to give us the new code, if not we would have been unable to get into the cottage. There were a number of instances of poor attention to detail in the cottage: Impossible to open several windows. Heated towel rail not working. Poorly maintained binder of instructions and publications of local interest. No ice tray or oven gloves. Liner in one bin only. Overall, there was a sense that the cottage was less well maintained than in the past.

  • "It was a wonderful cottage in a great location."

    Fully equipped for home baking and home cooked meals! The scenery was magnificent as was the swimming with the seals each day from the cove.

  • "Holiday cottage was lovely as we’ve come to expect from St Aubyn Estate Cottages."

    We did miss slightly not having the booking through an employee of the estate, and found the final contact from Cornish Cottage Holidays a little patronising. The treats hamper was wonderful and much nicer than anticipated. The setting of the cottage was unsurpassable, where else could you sit in the window seat to watch seals in the cove?

    Perfect for relaxing and recharging. Well equipped and comfortable and very clean. Excellent cafe next door with lovely staff and the best steak pasties. We didn’t want to leave!

  • "Extremely well equipped and beautifully clean cottage."

    Only a suggestion but some hooks on the back of the bathroom and bedroom door but other than that it has to be one of our most relaxing holidays in a good few years! I have no hesitation in recommending both Sykes and all involved with this cottage. Simply beautiful all round.

  • "Such an amazing place, the cottage is perfect for two people, very cosy."

    The view from the sitting room window looking down the Cove is a real bonus especially for keeping an eye out for the seals! Although the weather was very changeable, it was February after all, it was exhilarating. The Cafe is great too. Staff so helpful and friendly throughout. We would heartily recommend this cottage and location.

    We've stayed at Corner Cottage 5 or 6 times in the early 2000's. We're very pleased that we can now include our dog in the holiday - The Welcome hamper, the prints and the fabrics all add to the charm of Corner Cottage.

Perfect for adventurers, the South West Coastal Path runs through the cove and offers an ideal rambling route for anyone hoping to see more of this dramatic coastline.

Birdwatchers will also be able to spot rare seabirds and the occasional chough at Gwenapp Head, which is just a stone's throw away.

Where you’ll be staying

View on map

PORTHGWARRA

Sennen 3 miles; Land's End 4.1 miles; Penzance 12 miles.

The parish of St Levan derives its name from the 4th Century saint who settled here. The ancient ruins of his Chapel can still be seen today above Church Cove, one of three beautiful and secluded beaches on this wild, unspoilt, and staggeringly beautiful peninsular, the most South Westerly point in the UK. Porthgwarra, the next beach along, sparkles at the end of a valley. You’ll find tunnels hewn into the cliffs, and the Porthgwarra Cove Café, along with the Guest Hub. It is the place to go for breakfast, lunch, ice cream, cakes, cream teas, pasties, helpful advice, and arranging holiday fun. Seals are endlessly dropping by. Continue over the clifftops and you arrive at Nanjizal, accessible only by foot and without a road in sight. At one end stands the stunning Zawn Pyg (‘Song of the Sea’) a natural rock arch that has captivated people for centuries. If the fancy took you to go on, then Sennen is around the corner. As well as being nestled in secluded coastal locations, our cottages are just a stone’s throw from some of Cornwall’s best-loved sights. Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre are within walking distance. St Michael’s Mount, St Ives, and many of the area’s best beaches are just a short drive away.
