Our History
YHA Land's End, Cot Valley Hostel, Letcha Vean
In 2024 we purchased Land's End YHA (also known as Cot Valley Hostel, and originally Letcha Vean House). Despite the hostel being located in one of the most magical places in Cornwall, the accommodation was in danger of closure, in need of major refurbishment, and attracted the attention of scores of property developers.
We wanted to save the hostel so that visitors can continue to enjoy Cot Valley, and had the idea of redeveloping one of the two buildings into modern accommodation for guests, and turning the other into a home for our large family. Our goal was to create beautiful, clean, functional accommodation that visitors can enjoy whilst exploring this truly stunning corner of Cornwall.
Our Family
Hello — we're Ollie & Clair
We took over the site in 2024, and have spent over 18 months working hard to open up the first phase of accommodation. Over the next five years we will be opening up further spaces, specifically tailored for individual coast path walkers and couples.
Where we started
In the past we ran a smallholding with on-site guest accommodation. We loved having guests around, and decided to take the plunge and buy the Land's End YHA — the ultimate lifestyle business, sustaining our family in this seasonal part of the country.
Our promise to neighbours
We have four children at the local school, and our home sits close to the guest accommodation with neighbours dotted nearby. Cot Valley Hideaway isn't suitable for noisy groups or parties — we welcome peaceful, respectful guests.
Our Values
What we care about

We prioritise sustainable practices, ensuring that our impact on the environment is minimal. Staying with us means choosing low impact accommodation. We encourage our guests to treat the area with the utmost respect, not leaving a trace, and even leaving our precious coastline better than you found it.
Community
Where possible, we take great care to support the local community. We use local suppliers, local workers, and support numerous local charities and initiatives. Join us and create lasting connections while enjoying your stay.
