About this apartment rental
The Loft is a recently-refurbished, warm, spacious holiday home sleeping six people, with stunning sea views from almost every room.
Perfectly positioned above the harbour and Sennen lifeboat station, The Loft has unbeatable 180-degree seaviews of Whitesands Bay, Cape Cornwall and the Atlantic Ocean. Being perched just above the Cove means we're in prime position to spot the basking sharks who visit the bay, and pods of porpoises and dolphins. Guests can fall asleep listening to the sound of the sea, too. The South West Coastal Path is moments away, offering instant access to breath-taking National Trust land reaching to Land's End, or you can just stroll down to the glorious golden sands of Whitesands Bay, an award-winning beach, just minutes' away.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and parking for two cars, The Loft sleeps up to six people. It's a real home from home, comfortable, warm and cosy but with enough space that guests can spread out and relax.
Renovated recently, with new double-glazed windows, front door and flooring, The Loft has been freshly decorated and refurbished in Farrow & Ball colours, and has new beds, linens, pillows, mattresses and duvets, along with a new 6-seater corner sofa and Smart TV, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day spent playing on the golden sands of Sennen Beach.
Bedroom One has a luxurious king-sized bed and en-suite shower room with WC; both the bedroom and bathroom have stunning views of the beach at Whitesands Bay. You can watch the tide roll in from your bed, and see the early-morning surfers doing their thing, and you can certainly hear the sea as you fall asleep... With stripped wooden floors and luxury soft furnishings, you'll be comfortable and cosy whatever time of year you visit. With a wardrobe and chest of drawers, and two sidetables and sidelights. Weaver Green rugs, bed-throws and cushions for the bed. Bedroom One also has its own en-suite shower room with WC, and stunning views of the Cove.
Bedroom Two has a king-sized bed and glorious views across the harbour to Cape Cornwall. With a vintage Penguin travel print, wardrobe and chest of drawers, two side tables and sidelights, and a large apex window with high ceiling, you can also hear the sea. Also with Weaver Green rugs, bed-throws and cushions.
Bedroom Three has two new twin beds and a cliff view, although this room is suitable for children, it’s grown-up enough for adult guests too. With a wardrobe and side tables and lights, and a Weaver Green throws and cushions for each bed.
The family bathroom has a WC, bath and over-bath shower, perfect for getting the last of the sand from your toes. Decorated with sea-glass-coloured mosaic tiles, it's a haven in which to unwind and reflect on the day. Guests will find complimentary herbal toiletries from Cornwall's St Kitt's Herbery.
The living area has a new large L-shaped sofa with enough room for everyone to spread out and relax. Our new Smart TV has satellite channels, perfect for those Netflix 'n' Chill evenings, and the bi-fold doors of our juliette balcony mean you can open up the living area to the sound and sights of the Bay. With spectacular views over the Cove whatever the weather, you'll have plenty to keep you entertained. We also have fast Wifi (but you can always blame Cornish signal if you really want to cut yourselves off - everyone back home will believe you) vintage boardgames and selection of books.
Our dining area features a locally-crafted dining table made of reclaimed timber which seats up to six comfortably, and Italian leather chairs so you can settle in for the evening over a meal with friends or family. It also has spectacular views over to Cape Cornwall.
Our brand new kitchen was fitted in 2021, with Farrow & Ball Shaker units and marble work-tops, along with a large new fridge-freezer, Neff oven and hob, Miele dishwasher and Bosch washing machine, a microwave and our essential Nespresso machine. The kitchen has stunning views over towards Mayon Cliff and the Atlantic. You’ve just got to keep your eyes on what you're meant to be cooking, not those jaw-dropping sunsets...It’s also well-stocked with the latest cookery books, vintage Wedgwood china and our favourite Penguin paperback coffee mugs.
Having once been the top floor of a Victorian Hotel, The Loft has much more space than many Cornish holiday properties, with high ceilings and commanding sea views from almost every room. At the rear of the property, we have a terraced decking area which we have refurbished in cedar timber in 2021, making it the perfect spot for a morning coffee and the paper, or a sundowner as you watch the last rays disappear into the Atlantic. We also have terraced gardens below which overlook the sea – a perfect picnic location or sunny spot for a BBQ.
Bodyboards, fishing nets, buckets and spades are provided for the use of our guests.
As the most westerly beach in the UK, Sennen has stunning scenery whatever the weather, all year round. It's a perfect spot to watch the fisherman in the harbour, or the seals and dolphin pods who visit the bay. Being the first piece of land in over 3,000 miles of Atlantic means we see some dramatic waves and weather. It’s terrific spot for storm-watching too and often when a big storm hits the UK, the photos of Sennen make the national papers.
With a great local pub just a few minutes away, a local grocery and newspaper shop, cafes, gallery and two surf schools, there's everything you need for your stay close to hand. Tesco Online will also deliver to the apartment. We also have a local spa therapist who can visit if you fancy an Indian head massage, or some Reiki healing.
We are just moments from the South West Coastal Path and the dramatic cliff-top scenery of Land’s End; en-route you will spot Longships Lighthouse and the wreck of the RMS Mulheim.
Sennen has a farmer's market on a Tuesday behind the school, which is well worth a visit.
A few miles away, the Minack Theatre provides evening entertainment throughout the summer and children’s shows during the day. The gardens are well worth a visit too, as is Porthcurno Beach just a few minutes away.
Penzance and Newlyn are a short drive away; Newlyn is particularly good for fresh fish and has many artists studios and galleries, being home to the Newlyn School of Art. It also has a beautiful new arthouse cinema for those occasional rainy afternoons.
St Ives is just 16 miles away and can be reached by bus from Sennen or the train from St Erth. Packed with restaurants, galleries – including the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum – it’s well worth a visit.
Please note that as The Loft is situated part-way up the cliff above Sennen, and as the property is accessed by ten steps from the car park, it is not suitable for guests with mobility issues or wheelchairs. The walk down to the beach is by a sloping private path which is uneven in places and may not be suitable for buggies or pushchairs.

Everything about The Loft exceeded our expectations, from the stunning views to the comfortable beds. The place is really well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery etc and even lots of high quality hangers in the wardrobes! It had such a homely feel with the books, games, pictures and ornaments. The owners have done a fantastic job making it a beautiful place to stay.

The Loft is a superb property with exceptional views across Sennen Cove, Whitesands Bay and out towards Lands End. The property is very tastefully decorated and has everything you might need. Two parking spaces are much appreciated. If you love sea views and sunsets this is the place for you!
5.0
Excellent apartment in good location, with easy hiking access along the cliffs leading to Lands End. We enjoyed hiking down to the long, sandy beach and small harbour. A seasonal dog ban is in place on the beach.
Kate was excellent throughout our stay and on top of any questions we had with helpful suggestions.
Access to the apartment is along an unmade road and then down a steep incline that requires caution. Navigation in a large vehicle could be challenging.

The Loft is a wonderful, spacious airy apartment with the most breath taking views over Sennen Cove and surrounding cliffs and countryside. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has everything and more that you will need for your stay. It is ideally situated to get to the beach and local amenities with access to lots of local walks along the coast paths. Such a relaxing place.

We wanted to escape for Christmas and we certainly did! The property was fabulous and the views were amazing from every room. The property contained everything we needed and more. Very good communication from Kate and some gifts to make our stay extra special. We loved the Christmas Day swim with everyone!
Thank you for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Best Holiday Ever
Absolutely beautiful with the most stunning views - we got the sunset we were dreaming of! The loft is extremely well equipped with very high quality furnishings and the kitchen is really great. There wasn't anything at all that we needed and the holiday was everything we hoped it would be.

An absolutely beautiful property in a stunningly beautiful location overlooking Sennen Cove
The Loft is a perfect place to stay, the rooms are spacious and airy, beautifully decorated with lovely furnishings and stunning views from every window! There’s a lovely outside decked area where we sat most evenings watching the sun go down. We had a glorious week of sunshine and gorgeous sunsets and spent most of our week walking along the coast paths and sunbathing on the local beaches! Heaven!! We left reluctantly, but had one of the best holidays ever. We are definitely going to return!
Kate, the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful and kept in touch throughout, a very lovely lady! This was a family holiday with our grown up children, and we will always have special memories of our time in The Loft at Sennen.

From east peasy check in, a spotless kitchen and tasteful decor this is a Cornwall retreat of dreams. Sleeping with the window open listening to the sea and waking up to the view of most I’ve rather sea is something I needed and this place provided it. 11/10 would recommend.

Sheer perfection!
Even more breathtaking than in the photos and a joy to stay in! After 25 years renting holiday cottages in the UK, this now my very most favourite. Hadn’t expected to find the Cove so enchanting, but delighted to find it utterly unspoiled and also totally complete with everything we needed. Absolutely hooked on breakfast at the Sennen Cove Cafe, on the picnic tables right on the sea… and great coffee too! There is also St. Buryan farm shop off the road to Penzance which is worth a visit…

Stunning views
A lovely apartment with stunning views of the bay, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is beautifully fitted with real attention to detail and everything you could need for your stay. Kate was very responsive to any queries we had while we were staying there. It is a short walk down a slightly overgrown path to the little resort and on to a picturesque, sandy beach. There is a shop, a good cafe, fish and chips and a beach bar. There is usually a pub too, but a member of staff had tested positive just before we arrived, so sadly that was closed for the week. We loved the fact that they had body boards and a tent for us to use, and the kids hired surf boards on the beach. We really enjoyed the open air bus, which we used for a trip around the headland to St Ives. Due to COVID concerns, there is quite a bit to do on the last day, before an early departure, but I think we managed it.

This is the sort of place that you might never want to leave. So wonderful to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. It’s beautifully decorated with lots of lovely little retro touches. Very comfortable beds, cool in the hot summer and I would imagine that it’s very cosy in the winter. If you have trouble climbing up a flight of stairs then you might want to think twice about booking a stay here. Otherwise just do it! There’s a bit of a steep climb down and up to the beach, but it’s quite safe and very good cardio vascular exercise, especially after sampling the wide range of pasties and delicious crab sandwiches awaiting in the many cafes at the bottom. There’s a very easy walk to Lands End. Not to be missed for the superb views from the cliff park. It’s a shame about the monstrosity of the theme park but the little farm is a nice attraction for younger children. The sea water is fantastically see through clear just here, even more so than St Ives, and such stunning shades of turquoise. We all absolutely loved it to bits and are very much hope to return.

Lovely, spacious apartment refurbished to a very high standard with three large bedrooms and very comfortable beds. Views are amazing and location perfect for exploring South Cornwall.

Cornish Delight
The spectacular views as we approached the Loft was a foretaste of delights to come.
Everything from the handwritten welcome card to the tastefully decorated interior could not have been better.
We loved the views, afternoon cream tea on the deck, the short walk to Sennen and the closeness of local dining.
Even the stormy night of the tail end of hurricane Dorian brought the voices of smugglers past whispering to us on the wind. Unfortunately not the location of any hidden treasure.
We look forward to returning.

Exceptional!
Outstanding, stylish, and modern holiday home set in an idyllic location. The property exceeded all our expectations, spacious, comfortable, clean and very peaceful. Facilities were excellent, everything is provided to ensure your stay is perfect. Bedrooms, linen and toiletries were luxurious. Terraced gardens, Juliette balcony and wooden decking area gave breathtaking beach, Atlantic and sunset views, as does almost every room inside this beautiful home. Coastal walks are within yards of the property. Local pub, grocery and newspaper shop are minutes away.
First class accommodation and communication with the hosts, we highly recommend and will return. Thank you, Kate and Vince, for your kindness and making my day and our week so very special.
