Sennen Cottage is a spacious, comfortable home from home set in an unrivalled position with fine views over Sennen bay across the wide Atlantic. Accessed via the well named Sunny Corner Lane it is a short drive or a good leg stretch to local facilities and the splendid beach. We have been regular hirers over many years and will be back!

The cottage is unique in our opinion. We have been to that area of Cornwall for many years & stayed in a few different holiday lets & compared to Sennen Cottage, these other properties have always had a down side, narrow road approaches, poor parking, incomplete views etc. Sennen cottage has an easy access, excellent parking & the VIEW! After driviRead moreng up from Penzance with no sign of the sea then walk into the cottage & see the all round, uninterrupted view, WOW. The welcome pack was very welcome. Hide
