Summary: 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!
Daisy B. Jun 2, 2025 10:36:48 PM
Summary: This was our third year running at Vessacks, and definitely our best stay yet! The location is wonderful, affording us different activities every time - from culture to culinary to cliffside. The house is always reliably clean and welcoming, furnished beautifully and with every utensil one could need. There are lovely thoughtful touches too, such as flowers in a vase and good quality linen sheets. We met the professional cleaner at the end of our stay, and she couldn't have been kinder to us. We joined forces with another family for our stay this year, so there were three children between 1 and 4 years old staying in the house, and it was perfectly equipped for them. The internet is powerful and reliable too! We wanted for nothing, and had the sea and sunshine pouring into every room.This is a house to fall in love with.
Ann G. May 14, 2025 10:20:19 PM
Summary: 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.
Nick A. Apr 27, 2025 07:14:05 PM
Summary: Second time we've stayed at Vessacks - we love the house and the area and will definitely be back again.
Mary P. Apr 13, 2025 02:35:04 PM
Summary: Vessacks is in an idyllic spot perched above cliff tops at Porthcurno, with uninterrupted and magnificent views of the sea and surrounding countryside. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully kitted out with everything one could need. We look forward to our next visit.
David P. Oct 14, 2024 07:54:08 PM
Summary: Everything perfect at this amazing place with its wonderful expansive views across the sea. The host is a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Edward S. Jun 4, 2024 07:03:33 PM
Summary: Vessacks is a fantastic property, extremely well equipped and with amazing sea views. It was the best self catering property we have ever stayed in. Our thanks to the owner for allowing us to stay there.
Suzanne N. Apr 25, 2024 04:03:54 PM
Summary: The house is fantastic! Stunning views in a wonderful location. Super clean, very well equipped and comfortable with everything you need. We enjoyed watching the boats and ships passing by and the birds. Walking paths nearby are excellent. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive. We were all extremely happy being there with no complaints.

Summary: 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
Daisy B. Apr 11, 2024 07:29:21 PM
Summary: Hands down the best holiday house I've stayed in. It was a real wrench to leave. An utterly blissful week. We came as a family of four (two children under 4), with my sister and mother joining us for a spell. Everybody loved it! Especially the dramatic reveal of the views on the first morning. Vessacks had everything we could wish for in terms of amenities, games, tools and books. Its crowning jewel is its stunning views straight out to the ocean. The house is right on the cliff edge and sympathetically laid out to let the sea in at every possible point - try doing the washing-up to a stormy Celtic Sea, a real treat! The house is very clean, with excellent quality furnishings. Lots of interesting adventures close by, too - all thoughtfully laid out in the welcome pack. Katherine is an amazing host, always on hand to answer questions and give us the best possible experience. We love Vessacks!
