Wheal Call is the perfect holiday getaway.
Location
Perched in a beautifully isolated position, Wheal Call holiday cottage sits on the cliff top above Porthledden Bay at Cape Cornwall.
It faces due west and enjoys the spectacle of breathtaking sunsets and far-reaching views of the Cape, Kenidjack headland, the bay below and out across the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
The cottage was built of granite in about 1850 as a Count House to the local tin mine and has been sympathically and simply restored as a holiday cottage that sleeps up to a maximum of 4 people.
It is full of character with exposed beams, wooden floors, granite walls, two wood burning stoves and views to enchant you.
Retreat and reconnect
Wheal Call is perfect for walkers wishing to explore the rugged coastline. You step up from your front door and straight onto the South West Coast Path.
With zero screen time, no TV, and no internet, our redoubtable little cottage swaps glowing devices for breathtaking, uninterrupted sea views, stunning sunsets and roaring fires – the perfect digital detox.
Our guests love reconnecting with family and friends and enjoying the rich local history, wild natural surroundings, coastal walks, rock pooling in the bay below and coming home to sundowners on the bench, playing board games and cards, reading and relaxing far from the madding crowd and the modern world!
