Beautiful Renovated Fisherman's Cottage With Stunning Sea Views

Smugglers Rest has been converted and renovated from 2 fisherman's cottages into a beautiful home. Every room has views over the bay. The cottage doors open onto a large sun trap terrace with stunning views over Sennen Cove to Cape Cornwall. In the lower garden there is a bench for a quite read, and in the garden above there is a summer hut with panoramic views. If you are lucky you will see dolphins, basking sharks and you might even swim with a seal. Sennen is a great place for children, with a huge sandy beach and lifeguards in the summer months. For older children there are surf schools, and the cottage has 'fibre to the door' Wi-Fi. There are beautiful walks along the coastal path. The cottage is open plan, with a Rayburn or electric oven to cook on. The cottage oozes peace, and the wood burning stove keeps it cosy in winter. It is 3 minutes walk to the beach, the shop, cafe and pub are all within 5 minutes walk. There are steps to the cottage (so not suitable for people with mobility problems).

Beautiful comfortable cottage with great views

We have been to Sennen on many occasions but this is the best stay we have had, the cottage has everything and more than you need for a very comfortable stay. Great living spaces downstairs, an extra shower room, very handy, and 3 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Bedrooms all have a great views, the outside space is fantastic, with so many options on where to sit and with the hidden gem of the top of the hill summerhouse. WiFi brilliant. Hosts also provides touches to welcome you wine, milk and biscuits...what more could you want!!

Cosy cottage with outstanding sea view’s from all rooms

Really lovely property- well equipped and plenty of room. Good interaction with the owners and local contact. The views from the bedrooms were outstanding - being able to see the waves rolling in all along Sennen Cove. Spectacular walks from the cottage. We had a fantastic Christmas/New Year holiday.

Lovely cottage

Beyond our expectations, Smuggler's Rest was perfect for our week away. We brought the dog and two kids, there's loads of room, two bathrooms, 3 proper bedrooms, well equipped kitchen including an Aga. We spent the whole week local, never drove anywhere and made the most of the beach everyday. Nice walks nearby and interesting little harbour. Planning on returning next year!

Delightful cottage in perfect position

Smuggler's Rest is a very cosy, comfortable holiday home with excellent facilities. Lovely touches like wetsuits to borrow, a very well-equipped kitchen, a wide selection of books and DVDs. The Rayburn and woodburner kept the cottage perfectly warm, bathrooms both spacious and efficient. Bedrooms super comfortable too. Thank you so much, Andy and Jane.

Mum’s 80th

We had a fabulous few days celebrating my mum’s 80th birthday. We spent many happy holidays as children in Sennen Cove, so my brother and sister and myself decided to take my mum for her birthday. She loved it and managed all the steps, even up to the summer house with the fabulous views at the top of the garden. The cottage is so well equipped, we had everything we could possible need. Look forward to returning again.

Beautiful views and ideal location

We are regular visitors to Sennen Cove and have been for over 30 years. This is our second visit to the property and we were once again very pleased! The house is in an ideal location for walking, going on the beach and exploring. A good size for six people with all the amenities we could possibly need. Would highly recommend!

Mid September Sunshine at Sennen

Had we not had the perfect weather week (10-17 September) for walking, surfing and swimming in our favoured part of West Penwith, 5 of us could have equally snuck down in this extraordinarily well-laid out, well heated (when needed) and well maintained cottage, and read, talked, cooked etc without getting in each other's way.. There was no sense of claustrophobia. The views are superb. Good phone contact and excellent response from Andrew if there are any problems. Next year I believe there will be a washing machine installed. Please don't book it for the same week in 2020. We may want to return! David and Nicola
