Panoramic sea views overlooking the beach – on the South West Coast Path

Vessacks is a family holiday home in Porthcurno, Cornwall, with panoramic views over the sea from practically every room. It sleeps up to 8 people and is ideal for young and grown-up families, groups of friends and couples.

With several beaches a short walk away, and the South West Coastal Path passing the house, Vessacks well situated for summer beach holidays and out-of-season stays for walking and exploring.

Nearby attractions include the South West Coast Path, Porthchapel, Porthcurno and Pedney beaches, Porthgwarra Cove, the Minack Theatre & the PK Museum of Global Communications. Boat and foraging tours can be booked, as can surf lessons at nearby Sennen. Some excellent restaurants and pubs can be found in the neighbourign areas, including Newlyn, Mousehole, Sennen and Penzance.

West Penwith is naturally wild with steep cliffs, sheltered beaches and coves, and an unusual variety of plant life due to its mild and humid climate. There's lots of wildlife to be spotted in the sea, sky and on the ground, which will please birdwatchers and nature buffs.
