Vessacks is a dream come true. Everything was perfect - from the check in process, the views, the amenities, the parking, communication with the host, and the LOCATION. There is so much to do in Cornwall, yet we wanted to just soak in the location and the views of the house. We hope to visit again!

We adored another year in Vessacks. Immaculate house with cracking views. Perfectly located for clifftop exploring, and some really interesting local literature in the house. Everything is super clear in the welcome booklet and Katherine is the most attentive and professional host, a real pleasure to communicate with! The kitchen is brilliantly stocked too, and the beds are genuinely the most comfortable I have ever slept in. I've never stayed in a better run or more beautiful holiday house. We love it!

Vessacks is a lovely property in a stunning location and our week there went far too quickly. The house is very spacious and much of the space takes full advantage of the incredible sea views at the rear of the property. The property is very clean and felt very homely. We also appreciated the excellent communication by the host.

Vessacks is an incredible place. The location is stunning, perched on the cliff top with easy access to the SW coast path. Waking up to the most amazing view of the sea was a delight each morning. The beach below is stunning but a bit of a challenge to get to! Porthcurno Beach is also very close; walkable but also has a huge car park (charged).We were so impressed with the facilities; comfy beds with wonderful duvets (not too heavy) and pillows, modern bathrooms and a lovely well-stocked kitchen. Katherine has thought of everything you could possibly need for a holiday. There was really nothing we could fault. Communication was excellent and Katherine was prompt and helpful with answering questions.The Minack theatre is a short walk away but we couldn't hear it at all. In fact it was so peaceful & a real tonic away from our busy lives. We didn't turn the TV on all week as we didn't want to pull ourselves away from the view! I would not hesitate to recommend Vessacks.

I can’t imagine a more calming and beautiful place to stay on the Cornish cliffs, watching the endless horizon, the ships at sea, whitecaps or not, being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves on the beach below. Apart from the stunning views, Vessacks is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of room for small and large gatherings, and has everything needed to cook a great dinner for friends and family. I come every year and find consistently high quality in the household equipment, comfy beds and bedding, and many improvements (large and small) from last time. This year, Katherine is in the process of adding a beautiful patio. The magic of this place draws me back and especially in the spring when the cliffs are bursting with wildflowers, cuckoos are calling and the roads are easier to navigate than in the summer. Thank you Katherine - we plan to be back next year.

We had an amazing stay here. The property feels very spacious even though there were 8 of us, and the views are just stunning. The kitchen is well equipped so cooking dinner each night was a breeze. Several beautiful beaches 5-10 mins walk away. Great communication with Katherine. Highly recommend!

Great accommodation ticking all the right boxes required to make your stay enjoyable, good beds, bed linen, seating, bathroom facilities and kitchen. The views from the lounges looking out to sea are outstanding. The location is also great if you like costal walks with plenty of paths either to the left or right. We would recommend this property to our friends and family and look forward to another visit in the near future.

Light-filled days, endless horizons, comfortable accommodations

Vessacks is a unique and special house on the cliff overlooking both ocean and farms across the valley. We loved the comfy beds, modern bathrooms, well set-up kitchen, and dining area, with multiple places to gather, or to be alone, all with amazing views. We loved to watch gulls wheeling below, ships at sea or lighthouses winking in the dark. We can’t wait to come back.

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
