Sennen Cove Cottage

Where do we start... Everything was as you would want. The host Jan was excellent. From the moment we booked to the time we left, Jan was great. She answered all of our questions, gave us a very warm welcome and the cottage was fully equipped with everything one would need. There was a complimentary drink and some snacks ready for when we arrived. The property was immaculate, nicely decorated and finished to a good taste and a high standard with free WiFi, bedding and fresh linens so a very good start to our break. There is a small beach a 10 minute walk away from the cottage. There is a steep hill and steps you need to traverse to make your way down to the beach if walking so sensible footwear is advised. From the top of the hill the view is stunning and the cottage is across the road so perfect location. In addition, the Minnack Theatre is only a 9 minute drive from the cottage. Its something that has to be seen and experienced..!! The views are absolutely stunning and the way on which the theatre has been constructed will amaze you for sure..! There are live shows daily but booking in advance is advisable as it gets very busy and most shows sell out quickly due to the high demand. To watch a performance in an open theatre with the natural backdrop of the sea is well worth the money. It was an enjoyable stay but made perfect with the attention to detail from the host and the hospitality received. Thank you Jan and we shall be back very soon...!

First of all the “cottage” was a musty-smelling annex. The owners live next door, and had something to say about everything, namely our friends van on the driveway, but their dirty van there was fine! After refusing a slightly later checkout, the owner said the “housekeeper” had to come at 10am sharp, leaving us with wet washing to take on the train as the yard was in the shade. He then screamed at our friend who put it to dry on a public fence nothing to do with him. If that wasn’t bad enough, he screeched “I’m the owner’” at me from across the road and made the following outlandish accusations…. 1. “You left the place like a pig sty.” We certainly did not. It was spotless, however there was one small bag of rubbish left inside the kitchen waste bin as the outdoor skips were not clearly labeled. A woman, we assumed was the cleaner was shouting hysterically, then she started cackling like a Hyena. It was bizarre. We realised she took offense to a minor job of throwing a bag out because she was the wife! He actually leant towards me and said: “Do you see what I have to put up with?!” I suggested he get a new cleaner. She also blocked our friends van in. Very rude indeed. 2. He then accused us of booking for 2, and having 3 people sleep there. Goodness me! We paid for a 2 bed! Only two of us slept there, as I felt compelled to explain (personal snoring incident). Rude and nosey. Can you imagine if a family with kids stayed and they had actual cleaning to do? Whoooa. We’d never stay there again. They were not Cornish, and neither did they have even 1% of Cornish charm and hospitality. Despicable
