About this property
Longships
Enjoy a restful escape at Longships, a romantic cottage set high on the cliffs overlooking the gorgeous beach of Sennen Cove with a mile of soft, white-gold sand.
Relax in comfort in this modern vacation rental, equipped with everything you need for your stay, complete with Wi-Fi, a washer, and a fully equipped kitchen - perfect for whipping up a delicious meal during your stay. Prefer to eat out? No problem! A variety of seaside restaurants serve fresh, locally sourced produce. Why not try Mackerel Sky in Newlyn or The Gurnard's Head for some seasonal delights?
The living room features a small double sofa bed, which can be added on request to accommodate an additional adult or young children. The sofa bed can be made up for an additional $15 - just let us know if you'd like this arranged!
Just a short walk away, the beautiful sandy beaches of Sennen Cove await. Whether you're visiting as a couple or with friends, you can enjoy the fresh sea air and the feel of soft sand beneath your feet. Whitesands Bay is one of the finest beaches in West Cornwall and a top destination for surfers. It is accessible by a private beach path and offers excellent facilities, including restrooms, takeaway food, a surf shop, surfboard rental, a surf school, and a fantastic beachside restaurant.
Whitesands and neighboring Gwynver Bay hold Blue Flag status, with lifeguards on duty throughout the summer. Please note that dogs are not permitted on Whitesands Beach from Easter Day until October 1st, but they are welcome on Gwynver Beach year-round.
For those seeking adventure, surfing, paddleboarding, and coastal walks are all within easy reach. A Beach Shack at the property is stocked with buckets and shovels, bodyboards, and other beach equipment, free for visitors to borrow.
Sennen Cove is a charming fishing village with a bar, cafes, an art gallery, and a lifeboat station. It can be reached by car or via a steep, sandy path from the cottage.
The surrounding area is rich in breathtaking landscapes and fascinating history. Just a short drive or scenic coastal walk away, Land's End offers dramatic ocean views, family-friendly attractions, and the iconic signpost marking the westernmost point of England. Nearby, the Minack Theatre, a spectacular open-air venue carved into the cliffs, hosts performances with the Atlantic Ocean as a stunning backdrop. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the picturesque village of Mousehole, where colorful fishing boats bob on the water - you'll be amazed at how much this part of Cornwall has to offer.
Longships is one of four cottages converted from a Victorian house. For larger groups, the other three cottages can be booked alongside Longships. All cottages are set within 16 acres of shared grounds, including 2½ acres of terraced gardens with communal parking, barbecue facilities, and picnic tables.
