Sennen cove is a great place to stay & to see the sun setting
Great location. House had character due to its age and changes over the years.
Kitchen cupboards could do with a sort out.

A quaint cottage in a great location.
So close to the sea.
Lots of spiders. Limited parking if you had a big car, you would have to pay for parking. All the beds are single beds. The amenities are dated, with aluminum cooking pots and yucky cutlery.

Beautiful thatched cottage with tonnes of character and charm Don't expect modern style - but loads
Beautiful thatched cottage with tonnes of character and charm Don't expect modern style - but loads of charm! However there is actually everything that you need for a family holiday - decent washing machine, microwave, double oven, fridge freezer, smart TV, WiFi etc. Bathroom is lovely and light with classic pink art deco bath etc which is so much fun for the kids. The two bedrooms are really sweet with their vaulted roof trusses on show and tiny low down windows. You need to be fairly agile to get up and down the steep stairs as there is a very low beam to navigate but again it all adds to the fun. The sea view from the kitchen/dining room is stunning - a perfect framed view (and sounds) of the waves crashing on the rocks out at sea is utterly charming. The garden areas wrap around three sides of this beautiful thatched cottage with ample gates to stop small kids roaming away and actually very private. Would only say that it could do with more lawn areas as mostly natural stone
