A Little Piece of Heaven. Just for the Two of You.

Discover the hidden valley of Vellandreath. The perfect romantic escape, whatever the season.

"Locations simply don’t get any better than this…"

The Dream: A Hidden Corner of Cornwall

There is a version of Cornwall that remains beautifully unspoilt. Quiet. Unhurried. A place where the only schedule you need to keep is the turning of the tide.

You’ll find it here, in the hidden valley of Vellandreath.

"A little piece of heaven" - that’s what the local postman calls it, and we wholeheartedly agree.

Accessible only by a sandy beach path, our privately owned valley feels like a secret world. There are no passing cars, just the sound of the stream and the Atlantic ocean. It is the perfect setting to press pause, pour a glass of wine and reconnect.

The Experience: A Year-Round Sanctuary

Whether you are looking to book your summer holiday early or escape for a spontaneous winter break, the valley offers a different kind of magic in every season.

The Quiet Season
(Autumn/Winter)

This is Cornwall for the locals. The crowds have gone, leaving the beaches entirely to you. It’s about brisk, romantic walks on the coastal path to Land’s End, watching dramatic storms roll across Whitesands Bay from the warmth of your cottage, and evenings spent by the fire.

The Golden Season (Spring/Summer)

As the valley blooms, Vellandreath becomes a sun-drenched haven. Breakfast in your private garden, swim in the turquoise waters of Sennen Cove, and watch the sun set over the ocean. It’s the classic Cornish dream, without the rush.

Why Vellandreath?

Vellandreath is a sheltered, sub-tropical microclimate where the pace of life naturally slows down. Because the valley is accessible only by foot, there is no traffic noise. Only the sound of the stream winding its way to the ocean and the rhythmic crash of the waves.

Wake up slowly to the sound of the Atlantic. You take your coffee out into your private, sheltered garden, surrounded by lush coastal flora and the scent of sea salt and wild gorse. It is a rare kind of stillness.

Watch the sunset from your terrace with a glass of wine or read a book while the tide rolls in. Don't just stay in Cornwall, hide away in it.

The Lifestyle:
Cultured & Connected

While you’ll feel miles from anywhere, the best of West Cornwall is on your doorstep. You don't need to compromise on culture or cuisine.
