Whitecross is just off the main A30 through Cornwall. The cottage is halfway between the north and south coast of Cornwall at the narrowest part. Close to St Ives with the Tate Gallery and Leach Pottery, Penzance with its boat and helicopter links to the Scilly Isles, Marazion with St Michael's Mount, and Hayle with 'three miles of golden sands'. Up the lane is Trencrom with its ancient hill fort and magnificent views over the whole of West Cornwall. Within a few miles is the north coast and inland the tin mining centre of Camborne and Redruth. The Lizard Peninsula is a short drive away. The Penwith Peninsula has Land's End, Sennen (surfing), Zennor, Botallock and Minnack Theatre. Penwith has the highest concentration of Neolithic sites in Europe, including monuments at The Merry Maidens, Lanyon Quoit, Chûn Quoit and an Iron Age village at Chysauster. The Eden Project is about an hour drive away. The cathedral city of Truro is about 30 minutes away with its cobbled streets and stores.

lovely home from home only better

brenda morris middlesex
Review Submitted: November 12, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
it was love at first site, the location was brill, a short drive and the most lovely beach iv seen in years,I got up at 7am and took my dog for a walk along it.
The location was brill not far from lands end, up to Padstow,only went for three days but went everywere,
in the evening we had the log fire on and i lay on the couch very comfy and seen all my soaps.
The kitchen was very large and we ate at the big table, everything you could think of was there like home without the clutter a place for everything.
The garden was lovely sadly we did not use the barbe as it was november.
just up the road i found a publick walkway that i took the dog down he loved it, i used the stair gate to keep him in the kitchen, muddy paws he was happy with that i wished we had stayed longer,The bathroom was lovely and the bedrooms i slept better than i had in months silence,
My husband is not fully mobile and he had no problem, what more can i say perfect, from 2 old gits from noisey heathrow
Owner's Response: A tremendous review. I notice the reviewers husband had mobility problems and we are glad all was OK. It might be wise for other enquirers to contact me if a member of their party has mobility problems. I would hate anyone to have difficulties as there are stairs and a couple steps in the garden.

Gemütliches und sehr gut ausgestattes Cottage

Andreas, Elke Bochum, NRW, Germany
Review Submitted: September 16, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Wir (zwei Erwachsene) waren vom 29.August bis zum 05. Sept. 2009 Gäste im Dharma House. Der Weg ist sehr gut beschrieben (ein Tipp: in Whitecross dem Hinweisschild an der Haupstraße Exotic Plants folgen, dass ist sehr gut sichtbar) und so haben wir das Haus auf Anhieb gefunden. Die Beschreibung des Hauses war absolut adäquat - es ist sehr gut eingerichtet, technisch top - sogar DVD-Filme sind zur Kurzweil da -, sauber und per Heizung ruck zuck sehr warm. Die Lage des Hauses ist für Ausflüge für diesen Bereich Cornwalls absolut ideal, da es sehr zentral liegt. Besonders Spaß haben uns die diversen Küstenrundwanderungen gemacht. Für einen Besuch St. Ives empfiehlt es sich den Park and Ride Service (ab Kreisverkehr Hayle ausgeschildert) zu nutzen. Eine kleine Einkaufsmöglichkeit gibt es im übernächsten Ort ca. 2 KM vom Haus entfernt (jeden Tag bis 21h geöffnet) , größere Supermärkte liegen kurz vor Penzance ( auch nur 5 KM entfernt). Ein Auto sollte man allerdings zur Verfügung haben, da Whitecross selber über kein Infrastruktur verfügt. Kurzum, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen Dharma House sehr gerne weiter.
Übrigens: Der Pub The White Hart - ca. 4 KM vom Haus entfernt - hat sehr gutes Essen.

August in Cornwall

Alan, bernie, family + dog Newcastle upon Tyne
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We spent a week at the cottage following 5 nights camping in Somerset. It was a joy to find a clean, well equiped, pretty cottage with a fab garden. Our teenage kids (19, 17 and 14 years) had plenty to keep them occupied, mainly swimming and body boarding and although it was peak season, we had no trouble finding reasonably quiet beaches. There are several places to eat within walking/ short drive distance but we were pulled by the bbq and cooking facilities at the cottage and enjoyed eating in and watching DVD's. There was no shortage of beaches which permit dogs and the cottage, whilst being 'dog friendly' left no trace of previous cannine visitors! The cottage is ideally placed for easy access to St Ives and Penzance. Local scenery is outstanding and there are several good walks from the cottage. I would highly recommend a stay at Dharma house.

Great cottage, great location

RK&W North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: July 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We spent hours (days!) trying to find a cottage in Cornwall near to the coast but at a reasonable price..and Dharma House fitted the bill perfectly. It's only 5 miles to St Ives in one direction & Penzance in the other. There's loads to see and do - fabulous beaches, fishing ports, coast & country walks (can walk to Trencom Hill from the cottage door & get 360 views right down to the coast), and only an hour to Padstow, etc.
The cottage was extremely well equipped, even down to a bag of charcoal for the BBQ, and very comfortable. Great family sized kitchen & new bathroom. Lovely sunny garden during the day (loses the sun at 6ish). In all, a really good spot for families. Two weeks wasn't enough for us!

Delightful cottage

Andree and Martyn Pembroke
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
A real treasure. A well equipped character cottage in a lovely quiet location. Plus it's own private sunny garden with a barbeque. Plenty of room for 5 of us, two adults, two teenagers and a toddler.
We were made to feel most welcome by all the homely touches.
The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the many beautiful areas and diverse attractions. We went to several wonderful costal sites and beaches, Flambards theme park, the Seal Sanctury and Paradise Park. There is so much to do and see in the area for all age groups, and plenty of nice places to eat, although the kitchen has everything you could need for cooking.
We spent evenings sitting in the garden, or playing board games, a perfect family home.
A week wasn't long enough, we are planning on going again.
