About this property

Thatched farmhouse with large garden a few minutes' walk from a stunning beach


Esther's Field is a stunning 17th-century granite house with thatched roof set into the hillside above the beautiful white sands of Sennen Cove with fantastic views of the beach and sea from almost every window.

Recently completely refurbished, it has 4 bedrooms (all with large beds and white bedlinen : two superking size beds, two singles and one bunk comprising two singles), 4 bathrooms (3 shower rooms and one with both bath and shower), two sitting rooms (both with wood-burning stoves and TV and DVD) and a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen with Rayburn as well as an induction hob and electric oven. The house feels spacious and relaxing - you will enjoy complete peace and seclusion, while still being within walking distance of everything.
The house sits in an acre of private garden with a large central lawn, a gated wildflower meadow, an upper garden, a hidden garden and many little paths and areas to explore. You will find many exotic plants and a summer house full of garden furniture: tables, chairs, benches and steamer chairs so you can relax in every part of the garden. You can walk down to the beautiful white sands of the cove (lovely little shops and restaurants) in about 8 minutes: fabulous for swimmers and surfers too. The house also sits a minute from the coastal path so you can walk straight out of the house onto the breathtaking coastal paths and enjoy the wonderful coastal walks around Land's End and its many coves and beaches and spot some amazing birds, plants and animals. Esther's Field is beautiful in the spring and summer, and a cosy getaway in the winter months too with wood-fires and books to enjoy.


Land's End: The famous Land's End, the most westerly point of Great Britain, is under a mile away. You can see the well-known Longships Lighthouse and the last few outcrops of rock that stretch out in the sea towards the Scilly Isles from the beach in Sennen Cove. A walk along the coastal path from Sennen takes you to Land's End, and to many other beautiful little beaches around this headland.

Nearby towns: St Just, a charming little town with several pubs and shops, is a few miles away. The larger town of Penzance, with its rail link to London, is 8 miles away. Penzance has many fine old buildings, lots of antique shops and art galleries and a whole host of shops. From here you can also take the boat or helicopter to the Scilly Isles. About 40 minutes away by car is St Ives with its famous Tate Art Gallery.

Please note: Esther's Field rental prices include VAT charged at the prevailing rate.

Lovely cottage in a spectacular position

This would be a wonderful cottage anywhere, it well maintained, comfortable and welcoming with a lovely garden. But add the spectacular view over one of the best beaches in the UK next to amazing cliff top walks and what more do you need?

A lovely warm family house in a fantastic setting looking down over the beach

Plenty of living space, a well organised kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, lots of hot water and lovely quiet spots around the property in gardens on a number of levels. The view down to the beach and out to Cape Cornwall in the distance is fantastic. This is the second time we’ve stayed here and hope to come back again in the near future.

Wonderful Cottage, stunning location

Beautiful cottage with spectacular views across Sennen Cove. Plenty of space, comfortable and welcoming, different garden areas with wonderful views, perfect for a family holiday. A short walk to the shop or down into the bay as well as the coastal path to Land's End. Very dog friendly too. We were all sad to leave.

This was our second visit to Esthers field, and it won’t be our last. Loved it.

Jules is very helpful, and easy to communicate with. Sennen cove is the perfect family get away. My children, husband, dog and myself loved every minute. And the cottage was the cream on top.

Had a perfect Easter break

This is a beautifully furnished, cosy cottage overlooking Sennen and the beach. We stayed just before Easter. The weather was variable but the cottage was cosy and and warm to come back to after walking or surfing (even had a warm outdoor shower for the surfers and their kit). The owners were kind and helpful. We highly recommend this property.

The perfect cottage for our weekend away.

The cottage is beautifully situated above Sennen Cove with great views of the beach and sea. It is comfortable, quiet, very well appointed and altogether a pleasure to stay in. Given the atrocious weather, the large wood-burning stove was much appreciated, enabling us to dry-out and warm-up after our return from a walk to Land's End. At the end of the weekend we went home congratulating ourselves on having found such a great place to stay.

Even better than the listing

This is a beautiful cottage with the highest quality inside and amazing views outside. You can spend days without needing to drive exploring the local beaches and footpaths, walking to the local shops for supplies (don't miss the fish and chips) or sitting in the lovely gardens.

Fabulous

The stunning location and the luxurious characterful accommodation makes Esther's Field a very special place to stay. Breath taking views of the cove, easy access to walks on the beach/coastal path and with plenty of logs to counter chilly evenings, a few days here makes a powerful restorative tonic. In a word, "unbeatable".

Half term break

We have just returned after an amazing weeks stay. The house was superb and had everything you could need. The views from the house were spectacular and we were blessed with amazing weather. The house is an easy walk away from Lands End and we walked to the beach every day. We will definitely look to return in the future.

An unforgettable holiday

Esther’s Field is in a perfect location for experiencing the magnificence of Sennen Cove. It was a joy to wake up each morning to hear - and see the sea, and to sit in the sun in the garden. We were very lucky with the weather! The house, especially the kitchen and sitting/dining room are well equipped with ample space for eating together and relaxing in the evening after a long day on the beach or walking on the cliffs.

Wonderful place to be

This May we spend a few days in this beautyful house. Jules was very helpful and friendly. The house is very tidy and cosy. The view over the sea and the beach is breathtaking. The garden is very charming and we enjoyed the days there. It is a wonderful place to forget the everyday stress. Thanks for having us. We hope, one day to come back again to this place.

Coastal idyll

We have stayed at Esther’s Field a number of times now. The gardens are beautiful and spacious and our boys love exploring there. It’s a short (though steep) stroll down to the beach and the pictures, stunning as they are, don’t do it justice. And what a pleasure to meet Jules in person, who was welcoming and considerate. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Beautiful house with amazing view

We had a wonderful stay at Esthers field. Driving up the drive upto the beautiful thatched farmhouse was a wow! Once out of the car, the view over Sennen cove was even more wow. The house is beautiful with a lot of character which the In-laws loved! The rooms are very spacious & cosy, the beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. Shame we couldnt have spent more time in the beautiful gardens due to the very wincy /wet weather! Would highly recommend this as your next stay at sennen cove. Thank you Jules x
