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.

Whitecross holiday house rental rating 55/5
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.

Easter Holiday
Simon09  Buckinghamshire
Review Submitted: April 13, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
A lovely, well equipped cottage, finished to a very high standard. A great base to explore this part of Cornwall, being minutes from either coast. Good local pubs/food etc. A few minutes in either direction to supermarkets/fuel. Car parking sounds a good distance away in the description, but it's actually directly across a quite lane. My family (2 adults+2 children) were very comfortable - we made good use of the wood-burner as the evenings were cool. I would recommend - Porthleven (nice harbour, good restaurants - try Kota), St.Ives - we used the Park&Ride train service - 5-mins away from cottage, great views of the beaches etc; The White Hart in Ludgvan was great pub; beaches - Praa Sands, Kynance Cove (nice walk to the Lizard) - both excellent;Falmouth is worth a visit - surprisingly easy to get In/Out - we parked in front of the Museum in the harbour and strolled into town. For animal lovers, try the National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek - wouldn't suggest via Redruth, bit of a nightmare, suggest via Helston. Also, Shire Horse Centre at Treskillard (aim for Four Lanes, need good map). If weather is not good, St Austell brewery worth a visit. Enjoy your holiday!

March Getaway
Keen Ramblers  Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This is an extremely pleasant holiday rental - well equipped, very well presented and comfortable. It is equally suited to a couple, a small family or two sets of friends as the available space is well planned and the garden is an added bonus. The location is ideal - easy to get to and, once you are there, close to all kinds of different activities, interests and scenery. The coastal walks and beaches are inspiring and the pretty little inland villages a delight. A week was not enough to enjoy everything that this area has to offer.

Cosy Cottage

Review Submitted: February 24, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a really enjoyable stay in this cottage. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our dog. The log burning stove was great for chilly evenings and the kitchen was very well equipped. Fantastic bathroom and large main bedroom although the bed was a little too soft for us!

All in all, very good value cottage in an excellent location for explring this part of Cornwall.

Perfect winter break
Natalie and Mark  London
Review Submitted: January 23, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
What a wonderful location for a winter break. Cottage was beautifully presented and very well equipped. The wood burner was a very welcome surprise for a cold January and the welcome pack was incredibly thoughtful after such a long journey. The lounge was cosy and comfortable, whereas the kitchen is equipped for everything. The new bathroom was great, very pleasant surprise for such a traditional cottage.
We had a wonderful visit to Marazion. Visiting the local art galleries, ‘Out of the Blue’ being my personal favourite as well as going for a blustery walk on the beach. The Lamb and Flag pub up the road was very pleasant, good food, warm atmosphere and not too busy. We also went to the White Heart at Ludgvan which was also very nice, what we would call a proper Cornish pub.
We visited St Ives on a Saturday and it was terrific. Not too busy during the winter. We were able to catch the park and ride from Lelant which meant we didn’t have to try and park in the centre on St Ives.
We had a truly wonderful long weekend; we wish we could have stayed much longer. There was so much to see that we’ll definitely be back for a second visit. Thank you for such a lovely break and we look forward to coming again.
