About this property

Family seaside cottage with fantastic sea views 1 minute from Sennen cove beach

Badgers Cottage is a fabulous traditional renovated fisherman's cottage, which sleeps 8 and is ideal for a family beach and relaxing holiday.
Set in the heart of the cove, with the Lifeboat House and fishing harbour in view, we are really RIGHT next to the beach. You can see and hear the sea and be on the beach in a couple of minutes.
The front garden is secluded , set back from the cove road and looks out to the Atlantic Ocean and is the perfect place to relax and watch the sun set into the sea. There is an outside dining area and seating area for entertaining. There is access from the rear pathway to the small enclosed garden with shower and bistro table and chairs .
Please note the larger rear garden space is now a private space for owner use - it has a storage hut . This space is for owner use only but not in use when guests stay in the cottage .
Walk down our path and stand on the seafront, with your cup of tea, or sit and relax in the front garden with a glass of wine and enjoy the fantastic sunsets. A perfect base to explore the local area and breathtaking coastal paths .
The cottage is renovated and beautifully furnished in a contemporary modern eclectic style. Grey painted wooden floors that run throughout the property, original granite inglenook fireplace, and painted shutters in the sitting room add to the seaside charm of our cottage. With a fabulous new stone floor in the kitchen, Smeg retro fridge and large cooker , you will love Badgers cottage from the second you walk in the door.
New windows throughout from Feb 2020 with renovated bedrooms ..

Great seaside cottage in an ideal position

Situated on the lovely Sennen cove this cottage is a great base for walking, surfing and generally exploring the beautiful Cornwall coast. It`s fully equipped for meals in and situated conveniently not far from a great pub (Old success) and down the road from a good fish and chip shop! We walked extensively (land`s end is an easy one) , played golf at the Cape with it`s spectacular views, and visited the Minack theatre for a memorable night out.(take a picnic) Not to mention the wonderful surfing the younger element enjoyed in the cove. (admittedly we were blessed with great weather for our week) All in all a comfortable cottage nicely done out, with all necessary utensils situated in a great position. (We loved sitting outside watching the sun go with a glass or two) Hopefully we will return soon.

Love Badger Cottage

This is a charming cottage in a stunning location. It makes a great base for a family holiday in West Cornwall close to local amenities, well equipped and yards away from one of the best beaches anywhere.

Fantastic location

Super cottage close enough to one of the best beaches anywhere and so close you can hear the waves breaking while laid in bed. Badger Cottage was a great base to enjoy a relaxing 2 week family holiday.

Lovely cottage in the best location.

Had a lovely week in Badgers Cottage. The location was excellent just a stones throw away from beach. We had a relaxing stay with our family sitting in the front garden in the mornings with a cuppa and watching the sunset in the evenings with a glass of wine. The cottage was clean and cosy and we couldn't have asked for more. Will definitely book again.

A lovely bright & fashionable beach cottage

Badgers Cottage and Loft are situated right on the sea front in Sennen Cove. Being tucked back from the road, the cottage offers peace and tranquility; but decide you'd like a late afternoon swim or surf or glass of wine, and its a mere hope and a skip from you front door. The cottage takes its style cue from the sea and there is a lovely crisp and clean nautical theme throughout. Showers and bathrooms are clean and everything works well. The kitchen is a lovely size- roomy and well stocked with pots pans and ample cooking equipment. We cooked in every night and really enjoyed doing so. The cottage has clearly had a refurbishment recently and is very well maintained, with help on hand should you need anything. Parking is in the main car park and you can buy a voucher for a week ( if the machines are working) otherwise its a fiver a day, which is fine, but means you have to remember to renew the ticket. The front garden catches the afternoon sun and i sat out many an evening sipping a glass of wine and reading as the sun set over the horizon. The back garden is functional - great for wetsuits and drying things, but we tended to use the front or the beach. We would definitely return again and my daughter was staying upstairs in Badgers loft at the same time, which worked perfectly.

Cracking cottage in a great position in Sennen Cove - great for family stays

We had a fantastic week staying in Badgers Cottage - excellent weather helped but also the position of the Cottage right on the sea front meant that walking to the beautiful sandy beach of Whitesands Bay takes literally minutes, the excellent Old Success Inn is even closer and our kids loved being allowed to walk along the pavement down to the Old Boathouse 'corner' shop to get the paper and maybe some sweets each day! The cottage is well appointed and spacious enough for two families without being enormous - the two bathrooms do come in handy! It's nicely decorated, clean and there's a great front garden area for catching the last of the sun and watching the sunset. A car parking space would make this place perfect, but it's not a big issue as there's a choice of two car parks very close by if the parking restrictions are in place (from 1st April I think) - £3.50 for day's parking in the Harbour car park. We will be returning!

Our sunshine holiday

We had the most wonderful week at Sennen. The cottage is very well equipped,and has a glorious sea view,from the front of the house. Parking was not an issue for us ,but maybe during the height of summer. The enclosed back garden was brilliant for our dog. The website pictures do not do this delightful cottage justice.

Hello my name is Monica.

I have four children and live in Exeter. Our family still live in the village of Sennen , and we have been enjoying our holidays here for over 25 years and love being by the sea at Badgers Cottage.

Badgers Cottage sits in a row of four beautifully appointed granite cottages, with views of the sea. We bought Badgers Cottage in the summer of 1997.
It is a very special place.

Badgers cottage was renovated in 2010, and Badgers Loft, a new loft conversion was completed in 2014 and we now have many guests return year after year to stay.
2017/8 we have redecorated and added lots of lovely furniture and pictures . A new shower room, stone kitchen floor, cooker and retro fridge !

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is Perfect for getting away from it all and being by the sea!
We have loved our unique special place for over 20 years and everyone that comes to stay feels exhilirated by its proximity to the amazing Atlantic ocean.
Loads to do and see nearby....
Coastal walks; Lands End is a 30 minute walk along the South West Coast Path
St Ives/St Just/Penzance are all a short drive away or take the open top bus from the bus stop in the cove.
The famous Minack Theatre is 5 miles away with a wonderful season of theatre, music and storytelling.

Whitesands beach...Perfect powder white sand beach with lifeguards during the summer months, and Sennen Surf Centre and surf shop on your doorstep for all surf lessons and equipment hire.

Ben Tunnicliffe's restaurant is situated on the beach with cafes and a local shops in the village for all the bits you forgot to bring!

Badgers cottage has a separate loft with its own access and outside space, which can be rented separately if you are a larger family looking for extra room.

What makes this property unique

Badgers Cottage has four bedrooms, 2 double rooms and 1 twin bedroom with bunk beds and 1 twin bedroom with single wrought iron beds. The open plan living room is lovely and spacious, includes a large dining table, sofas with wood burner and french door give access to the rear garden. Painted wooden floors and shutters are part of the seaside charm of our cottage.
Back garden and access via a private lane, for all the usual surf gear.
New chrome shower to rinse off from the sea is situated in the back garden.
A front garden to sit and look out at the ocean, is the perfect place to be and less than a minute walk from the famous Whitesands surf beach.
