A slice of heaven at the dell.The beautiful view is breath taking while soaking in the hot tub.We saw shooting stars at night. A super comfy bed and a wood burner inside.whats not to like. Thankyou!!!!
Katie
Beautiful location, stunning views and fabulous hosts.
Stephen
Lovely Cabin perched on the side of the cliff with great views & fantastic spot with the hot tub overlooking the sea. It is expensive but I guess you get what you pay for. It's a bit isolated with not much in walking distance but that didn't spoil it for us. The beach & views were good enough. I would suggest that robes are supplied in the future fRead moreor use with the hot tub. Hide
Jane
What a gem of a place this is.! The view and the sound of the sea made it worth every penny of the cost. The property is very well appointed and the bed was super comfy. You do need to be fit to visit the beach and the steps to the property are quite steep but this was stated in the property details so we were aware.

Beautiful property with fantastic views . Perfect place to get away from it all and do nothing ! Carrie and Ben really helpful. You would not be disappointed.
Ken
Can't fault the property it was excellent would highly recommend it
Marcel
All is awesome!!!!! Just be sure you are fit; Descending to the beach and especially climbing back up afterwards requires good mobility! (was no problem for us, but is a point of attention) Marcel
Jason
What an amazing location couldn't have been any better. Lovely comfortable chalet and sitting in the hot tub watching the sun go down couldn't have been any more perfect.

Highly recommended accommodation, stunning views, easy access to car, clean & homely & warm. Will definitely consider returning in the future.

Karen
Although The Dell was smaller than we anticipated, we soon felt at home and appreciated the quality of the fixtures and fittings.

Views of the bay are lovely. For a reRead morelaxing break, with a touch of luxury, The Dell ticked all the boxes. Hide
Alan
Superb location , we had a lovely week despite mainly having rainy weather. Prosecco and scones a nice touch and were delicious Nothing better than sitting in the hot tub watching the rain come beating down, would have preferred to see the stars but hey its the English weather. Would thoroughly recommend. And will definitely return in the future.
Anthony
This was such a relaxing break, the location was perfect, lovely and quiet with the most amazing views. The forgotten corner of Cornwall. The Dell was perfect, comfortable, and well equipped. Ben kept in touch in regard to the hot tub and we felt totally looked after. We would recommend The Dell if you wont to get away from it all, to relax and jus t enjoy the views. The towns nearby are great, with some lovely places to eat, and look around, recommend The Canteen at Maker Heights.
Sara
Stunning location and ideal spot to relax in the hot tub away from it all. The chalet itself is basic but sufficient and very warm even without the fire on. There is a clear damp issue in the bedroom which left puddles of water each day in the bedroom, I'd recommend slippers so you don't get wet socks before bed! We stayed at the end of Nov but we hope to visit again in the summer and have been recommending to our friends/family.
Hilary
Very cosy accommodation despite visiting in mid-November. The property was clean and well equipped with stunning sea views. We loved watching the stars from the hot tub.
Simon
Great location, cute lodge perfect for two, great value for money.
Kayleigh
Lovely location and everything you need for two to escape it all. Hot tub, sea views, star gazing when there are no clouds. Lots of walking (hilly) and brilliant bus 70a service if you dont want to drive or walk and have a drink instead.
Nina
Really want to write we had an amazing stay, dont get me wrong the lodge is located in a beautiful remote location for seaviews, lodge was sweet and very clean, sunsets and hot tub were superb, accommodation very small, bed lumpy, there was no separation from the bedroom which was difficult if one of you didn't want to go to bed. Shower small, need to be very fit to get to the beach and lodge. We must have been unlucky but the smell from the farm was just awful you could literally eat it.
Dee
We had a wonderful stay at the Dell. The location is absolutely beautiful and there's lots of walks to enjoy. Unfortunately it rained for most of the time we were there (early Sept), but the cabin is very comfortable to hide away in. The owner has done a great job to make a small space work incredibly well. The hot tub & decking is perfect to enjoy the amazing view (loved watching rain clouds roll across the sea!). We'd certainly visit again and have already recommended it to friends & family.
Steve
Loved the place and will certainly consider staying there again. Hot tub is amazing way to unwind after a day doing touristy stuff.
David
We had an excellent holiday. The Lodge and views were spectacular and very private. Very clean and well equipped. Nearby restaurant appeared to be closed for most of season. Large vehicles may not be able to park directly outside the property.
Angela
The Dell is every bit as beautiful as it looks in the photos. It is a peaceful and private place with amazing views and a great place to get away from it all. Lovely coastal path walks on the doorstep. The hot tub was beautifully clean and well maintained. We had a great week there.
Gail
Ideal for two people. The space has been carefully thought out to meet all potential needs. Wonderful, quiet setting with lovely views and privacy. Contact with owners was good and prior notice before visiting to check the hot tub was appreciated.
Sabrina
We had a great week at the dell. There is everything you need, it is clean and the view with the hot tub is amazing. On Easter weekend it was hard to get a parking space.
Loraine
After a long hour journey was met with the WOW factor! Not only were we met by an incredible blue sea but it just got better with every step down the path! Absolutely spotless with everything you could wish for on a week's holiday. Scones, jam with clotted cream and the milk were an absolute delight to see on entering this beautiful hidden gem. The hot tub is incredible at night, carefully checked daily by Rich who was lovely . We will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend:)
Roy
Amazing week at a beautiful location with stunning views. The hot tub is the icing on the cake!!
Carl
Was a lovely place to stay with beautiful sea views.
Carol
A lovely place to relax with amazing sea views.. the cream tea and bottle of Fizz were a nice touch
Ian
We had a lovely stay and was a perfect secluded location. The scones and prosecco were a lovely touch and we enjoyed these as an afternoon treat. It really had everything we would have wanted. Amazing views!!
Teresa
Lovely cabin on the clifftop at Whitsand Bay with great views. The cabin is small, but perfect for a couple with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was brilliant in January for a boost of warmth and fun. Recommend to anyone for a getaway from it all stay.
Ruth
A fantastic and beautiful property in a stunning location. We were delighted with how private, clean and well thought-out the place was. It's situated along a stunning coastline - close to amenities and yet this must be one of the most private cabins we saw in this area. The hot tub was just wonderful - we sat out under the stars and listened to th e sea. The communication from the owners was excellent too. Can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back.
Kevin
The Dell is in a perfect location at the top of Whitsand Bay just off the road allowing for easy access for unloading allowing you to settle in quickly and just enjoy being there. The views are stunning even during stormy weather when you can hunker down with the log burner on and just appreciate the peace and quiet. Perfect for two. The shower roo m is quite small and compact but has everything you need with large fluffy towels. An ideal small but comfortable cosy superb property ideal for 2.
Simon
The Dell is absolutely everything that could have wished for. The location with its view, the lodge was well set out and totally private. There is plenty of kitchen equipment. The bed was super comfortable, the shower was good, strong and warm. And to top it all was the fantastic hot tub over looking Whitsand Bay.
Kate
We had such a memorable stay here. The cottage was so beautiful and the views were exceptional! Relaxing in the hot tub as the sun set over the sea was magical. The owners were also extremely friendly and we would love to return in the future.
Gary
What a beautiful location will definitely be going again
