St. Levan House | Panoramic sea views, overlooking the beach – on the South West Coast Path

4 Bedroom House in St. Levan, Penzance

Vessacks is a family holiday home in Porthcurno, Cornwall, with stunning sea views from practically every room.
It sleeps up to 8 people in 4 bedrooms and is ideal for young and grown-up families, groups of friends and couples.
With several beaches a short walk away, and the South West Coastal Path passing the house, Vessacks well situated for summer beach holidays and out-of-season stays for walking and exploring.
Nearby attractions include the South West Coast Path, Porthchapel, Porthcurno and Pedney beaches, Porthgwarra Cove, the Minack Theatre, and the PK Museum of Global Communications.
Boat and foraging tours can be booked, as can surf lessons at nearby Sennen. Some excellent restaurants and pubs can be found in the neighbourign areas, including Newlyn, Mousehole, Sennen and Penzance.
West Penwith is naturally wild with steep cliffs, sheltered beaches and coves, and an unusual variety of plant life due to its mild and humid climate. There's lots of wildlife to be spotted in the sea, sky and on the ground, which will please birdwatchers and nature buffs.

Summary: 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.
