Cove Cottage, Sennen Cove

Where Is It?

Sennen Cove is at the far west of Cornwall, with a magical 'edge of the world' feel. This little village is a hotchpotch of sturdy granite cottages with an ancient, classically Cornish air although on a sunny day, the pale, almost white sand and the turquoise water gives the beach a distinctly Mediterranean flavour.

This gorgeous spot has been voted as one of Britain's best beaches by Conde Nast Traveller. If you're looking for a corner of Cornwall far from supermarkets, busy dual carriageways and the hectic pace of modern life, then Sennen Cove is where you'll find it. Here, it's all about relaxing with simple pleasures, pub lunches and a treat from the ice cream shop, cliff path walks along this most rugged of coastline and catching some of the endless waves on a surf or body board. Sennen Cove has lifeguard cover throughout the summer season.

St Ives is a short drive away, with the famous Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, great shopping and lively cafe and restaurant culture.
