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.

We love this house and return year after year. The host is lovely - very communicative and helpful. The house is well equipped, comfortable and full of character set in a beautiful vantage point to look down on Sennen Cove and also to watch the sunset. The garden is large and rambling and the kids love it. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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

Outstanding Property in a Fantastic Location

Outstanding property in a fantastic location. Listing description was very accurate. Jules provided great customer service, was easy to contact, and very helpful. My husband, two small children, and I stayed at Esther's Field for a lovely seven days. The cottage was very clean and up to date without losing the historic character and charm of a thatched roof cottage. The view from the house is spectacular. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable and spacious. As a first time visitor to Cornwall, Sennen Cove is a great location for some of Cornwall's greatest treasures including Minack Theatre and St. Michael's Mount. We even walked to Land's End with our children along the coastal path accessed directly next to the cottage. My only suggestion would be making dinner reservations well in advance of your holiday for The Beach Restaurant in Sennen Cove. They were completely booked the week we were there. I cannot find a single fault with the property, I only wish we had another week :)

Fantastic from start to finish. All rooms gorgeous. Comfy beds & all with a private bathroom! Gardens beautiful, breakfast everyday overlooking the beach! Wine last thing at night. Local pubs great & within easy reach. Tip: if there’s going to be a good sunset walk along Maria’s Lane towards lands end thru an iron gate & watch the sunset from the stones. WOW

Traumhafter Urlaub

Dieses wunderschöne Cottage können wir nur in den höchsten Tönen loben. Es ist wunderschön, perfekt ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Und der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. Egal ob der Kaffee am Morgen oder der Aperitif am Abend ist mit diesem Ausblick ein absolutes Highlight. Wir (5 Erwachsene und 3 Teenager) haben den Urlaub wahnsinnig genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Die Kommunikation mit Jules war hervorragend und es wurden alle Wünsche erfüllt. Wir können diese Unterkunft bestens empfehlen.

Beeinduckendes Haus trohnend über Sennen

Es war sehr toll! Das Haus war riesig und renoviert. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt!! Wir konnten kochen, waschen, trocknen, Feuer machen, in den Garten sitzen,... Das Haus hat sehr viel Charme und ist auch schon sehr alt und hat gewiss viele spannende Geschichten zu erzählen. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und alles wurde stilgetreu genoviert. Theoretisch hat das Haus eine der tollsten Aussichten die man sich vorstellen kann. Nur leider sah man diese im Haus nicht wirklich, nur wenn man sich direkt ans Fenster lehnte. Denn die sind sehr klein und sitzen hoch. Das Haus ist eher rustikal mit dem alten knarzenden Dielenboden und hellhörig da wohl die Geschossen nur ein Dielenboden trennt, erwas feucht. Aber wir waren nur mit 3 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern im Haus, das ging dann :-) super war der extra Wohntrakt den unser Freund bewohnte, dann hatte er etwas Privatsphäre. Und der Treffpunkt in der Mitte war die Küche. Der extra Wohntrakt hatte eine eigene Eingangstüre, Bad, Klo und Schlafzimmer mit super Ausblick ind ein Dachfenster über dem Bett wo man die Sterne beobachten konnte. Er hatte auch als einziges bodentiefe Fenster für vollen Ausblick. Netlix oder viel TV Sender gab es nicht, aber dafür eine interessante Büchersammlung :-) auf jeden Fall alles insgesamt eine tolle Erfahrung!

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.

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.
