Stunning Seaside Retreat; Unbeatable Sea Views & Close to Beach

The Loft is a recently-refurbished, warm, spacious holiday home sleeping six people, with stunning sea views from almost every room. Perfectly positioned above the harbour and Sennen lifeboat station, The Loft has unbeatable 180-degree seaviews of Whitesands Bay, Cape Cornwall and the Atlantic Ocean. Being perched just above the Cove means we're in prime position to spot the basking sharks who visit the bay, and pods of porpoises and dolphins. Guests can fall asleep listening to the sound of the sea, too. The South West Coastal Path is moments away, offering instant access to breath-taking National Trust land reaching to Land's End, or you can just stroll down to the glorious golden sands of Whitesands Bay, an award-winning beach, just minutes' away. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and parking for two cars, The Loft sleeps up to six people. It's a real home from home, comfortable, warm and cosy but with enough space that guests can spread out and relax.

Renovated recently, with new double-glazed windows, front door and flooring, The Loft has been freshly decorated and refurbished in Farrow & Ball colours, and has new beds, linens, pillows, mattresses and duvets, along with a new 6-seater corner sofa and Smart TV, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day spent playing on the golden sands of Sennen Beach.

Bedroom One has a luxurious king-sized bed and en-suite shower room with WC; both the bedroom and bathroom have stunning views of the beach at Whitesands Bay. You can watch the tide roll in from your bed, and see the early-morning surfers doing their thing, and you can certainly hear the sea as you fall asleep... With stripped wooden floors and luxury soft furnishings, you'll be comfortable and cosy whatever time of year you visit. With a wardrobe and chest of drawers, and two sidetables and sidelights. Weaver Green rugs, bed-throws and cushions for the bed. Bedroom One also has its own en-suite shower room with WC, and stunning views of the Cove.

Bedroom Two has a king-sized bed and glorious views across the harbour to Cape Cornwall. With a vintage Penguin travel print, wardrobe and chest of drawers, two side tables and sidelights, and a large apex window with high ceiling, you can also hear the sea. Also with Weaver Green rugs, bed-throws and cushions.

Bedroom Three has two new twin beds and a cliff view, although this room is suitable for children, it’s grown-up enough for adult guests too. With a wardrobe and side tables and lights, and a Weaver Green throws and cushions for each bed.

The family bathroom has a WC, bath and over-bath shower, perfect for getting the last of the sand from your toes. Decorated with sea-glass-coloured mosaic tiles, it's a haven in which to unwind and reflect on the day. Guests will find complimentary herbal toiletries from Cornwall's St Kitt's Herbery.

The living area has a new large L-shaped sofa with enough room for everyone to spread out and relax. Our new Smart TV has satellite channels, perfect for those Netflix 'n' Chill evenings, and the bi-fold doors of our juliette balcony mean you can open up the living area to the sound and sights of the Bay. With spectacular views over the Cove whatever the weather, you'll have plenty to keep you entertained. We also have fast Wifi (but you can always blame Cornish signal if you really want to cut yourselves off - everyone back home will believe you) vintage boardgames and selection of books.

Our dining area features a locally-crafted dining table made of reclaimed timber which seats up to six comfortably, and Italian leather chairs so you can settle in for the evening over a meal with friends or family. It also has spectacular views over to Cape Cornwall.

Our brand new kitchen was fitted in 2021, with Farrow & Ball Shaker units and marble work-tops, along with a large new fridge-freezer, Neff oven and hob, Miele dishwasher and Bosch washing machine, a microwave and our essential Nespresso machine. The kitchen has stunning views over towards Mayon Cliff and the Atlantic. You’ve just got to keep your eyes on what you're meant to be cooking, not those jaw-dropping sunsets...It’s also well-stocked with the latest cookery books, vintage Wedgwood china and our favourite Penguin paperback coffee mugs.

Having once been the top floor of a Victorian Hotel, The Loft has much more space than many Cornish holiday properties, with high ceilings and commanding sea views from almost every room. At the rear of the property, we have a terraced decking area which we have refurbished in cedar timber in 2021, making it the perfect spot for a morning coffee and the paper, or a sundowner as you watch the last rays disappear into the Atlantic. We also have terraced gardens below which overlook the sea – a perfect picnic location or sunny spot for a BBQ.

Bodyboards, fishing nets, buckets and spades are provided for the use of our guests.

As the most westerly beach in the UK, Sennen has stunning scenery whatever the weather, all year round. It's a perfect spot to watch the fisherman in the harbour, or the seals and dolphin pods who visit the bay. Being the first piece of land in over 3,000 miles of Atlantic means we see some dramatic waves and weather. It’s terrific spot for storm-watching too and often when a big storm hits the UK, the photos of Sennen make the national papers.

With a great local pub just a few minutes away, a local grocery and newspaper shop, cafes, gallery and two surf schools, there's everything you need for your stay close to hand. Tesco Online will also deliver to the apartment. We also have a local spa therapist who can visit if you fancy an Indian head massage, or some Reiki healing.

We are just moments from the South West Coastal Path and the dramatic cliff-top scenery of Land’s End; en-route you will spot Longships Lighthouse and the wreck of the RMS Mulheim.

Sennen has a farmer's market on a Tuesday behind the school, which is well worth a visit.

A few miles away, the Minack Theatre provides evening entertainment throughout the summer and children’s shows during the day. The gardens are well worth a visit too, as is Porthcurno Beach just a few minutes away.

Penzance and Newlyn are a short drive away; Newlyn is particularly good for fresh fish and has many artists studios and galleries, being home to the Newlyn School of Art. It also has a beautiful new arthouse cinema for those occasional rainy afternoons.

St Ives is just 16 miles away and can be reached by bus from Sennen or the train from St Erth. Packed with restaurants, galleries – including the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum – it’s well worth a visit.

Please note that as The Loft is situated part-way up the cliff above Sennen, and as the property is accessed by ten steps from the car park, it is not suitable for guests with mobility issues or wheelchairs. The walk down to the beach is by a sloping private path which is uneven in places and may not be suitable for buggies or pushchairs.
