“Wonderful location well equipped comfortable cottage perfect to explore surrounding area will definitely be back”

- Mrs Hood, August 2019
“It wasnt the cleanest of places.”

We ended up travelling to Tesco in Penzance to purchase anti bacterial wipes to clean all white surfaces as they were dirty.... including handrails,storage areas where tv is located and bathroom door.

“Fabulous place to stay”

Stunning location, clean, quirky, welcoming, beautifully decorated. Great base for exploring other areas. Will definitely book again.

“Lovely, quirky place with good facilities and equipment.”

Welcome card, tray, milk and wine much appreciated- a lovely thought. Well positioned in spectacular Sennen Cove, which has good local facilities and superb beach. Private parking area a bit of a lottery as it seems some locals who don’t live in the houses nearby use the area instead of paying in the adjacent carpark! Sometimes there is a space, sometimes not. Part of track outside OR&PH washed out, with a large gully so difficult to get car outside property to offload and load, but this still only means a 20m carry of bags and suitcases. We thoroughly enjoyed a great stay. Thank you

“The Old Rocket and Pump House was exactly as described and shown in the pictures, a true home from home experience.”

The accommodation is immaculate and has everything you could think you will need and more. I would highly recommend a stay at this property. The beach is beautiful and you will not be disappointed with the costal path walks.

- Mrs Sutheran, August 2018
“This holiday cottage is fabulous.”

Absolutely everything you can think of is provided, right down to a cake stand! The view is amazing and, being next to the coast path, is great for lovely walks. This is the first ‘staycation’ we’ve had in many years, but we’ll definitely be booking again for next year.

- Miss Doyle, August 2018
“Beautiful cottage in a stunning location!”

This is a lovely cottage for a couple’s retreat. The property is beautifully finished with real attention to detail; such as the welcome box, array of DVDs and super comfortable bed. The location couldn’t be better with local amenities a two minute walk and the energising cliff walk starting at the doorstep. Highly recommend!

“we cant wait to come back!”

the cottage is fantastic, amazing views, really nicely presented and very clean. it had everything we could think of and a lovely welcome pack. a really romantic break with log fires, windy beach walks and good food. it was quiet out of season but felt like we had the beach and the local pub relatively to ourselves. Sennen is a beautiful place to visit and a great base for exploring the area, and the cottage is right on the coastal path with some amazing views afew minutes away. we had such a relaxing week there and cant wait to come back!

The property

Wildly romantic with stunning views of the surf and the soothing sounds of the sea, this charming bolt-hole is seriously special.

Perched on the edge of the pretty cove, golden sands and blue Flag beach at Sennen Cove it makes the perfect retreat whatever the season.

Sennen is a mecca for surfers of all abilities and this fabulous beach is also perfect for swimmers and sunbathers with the assurance of the RNLI Lifeguards in the summer and the great Surf School in situ.

The stunning coastal footpath passes the property; in one direction is the amazing cliff top walk to Lands End and the other leads to the dramatic scenery of Cape Cornwall.

If you are lucky you can spot dolphins, the odd seal and basking shark along with the quaint fishing boats.

Loaded with lobster and crab the delicious sea food can be sampled at the local pub or the popular Beach Restaurant a few minutes walk away. Well presented, this charming property dates back to the early 1800's and used to supply water to the adjoining cottages.

The ground floor is home to a smart galley kitchen and a comfortable and contemporary open plan living space complete with a wood burner to snuggle up to whilst overlooking the mesmerising view of the Atlantic.

Step downstairs to the lower ground floor and the cosy bedroom awaits you with a king size bed and your en-suite shower room. The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, a spectacular open-air theatre set into the cliff face with the sea as a dramatic backdrop, is within a 10 minute drive.

You will find St Ives, famous for the many amazing galleries (including the Tate Gallery) and well renowned restaurants 15 miles away along one of the most magical coast roads in the country. Sip something cool paces from the dazzling sea, whilst casting your gaze to the gorgeous Isles of Scilly.

On a clear day the Islands can be spotted 26 miles away- or jump on a plane from Lands End Airport 5 minutes away and experience the romantic Islands for yourself.

About the location

SENNEN

Land’s End 1 mile; St Just 5 miles; Penzance 9 miles.

The most westerly village in mainland Britain, Sennen has a lovely mile-long beach of pure white sand and is a very popular holiday destination. With excellent surfing conditions, the village has its own surf school – overlooked by a super-cool beach bar/restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows which make the most of the wonderful views. Once a hub of smuggling activity, Sennen still retains many secret passages – one of which is said to lead to the covered well in the Old Success Inn. Largely unchanged over time, this lovely village has a timeless appeal and is home to a gallery, a medieval church, an Iron Age fort and a small selection of shops where you can buy beachware, gifts and souvenirs, and a range of groceries. There is also a weekly Farmers’ Market in the village Community Centre each Tuesday morning. During the summer, the beach bar becomes a hub of activity and entertainment, with live music, weekly barbecues and popular surfing competitions.

Note: Babes in arms welcome. Note: No cot or highchair provided.
Access: A very short section of footpath and then approximately 12 uneven granite steps, can be slippery when wet.
