Carn Base, Sennen Cove is a comfortable bungalow for six, tucked into a secluded hillside spot just metres from the cove. Step inside to a welcoming lounge with Smart TV and DVD player, where glimpses of the sea slip through the windows. To one end, a traditionally styled dining area invites you to tuck into a fish and chip supper while the sun dips below Whitesand Bay. The well-equipped kitchen enjoys dual-aspect windows that draw in clear Cornish light, along with its own additional dining table, so others can sit and chat while the chef gets on with the cooking. A bright, airy family bathroom completes the indoor spaces.
Stepping outside, the enclosed garden offers a lawn and patio furnished with a pub-style bench and additional seating, the perfect spot for al fresco meals and sundowners away from the beachfront hustle and bustle. Three welcoming bedrooms ensure peaceful sleep for all: one with a king-size bed, one with a double, and a third with twin beds, each offering wardrobe space to unpack and settle in properly. Private parking for two cars is provided, though do note that the driveway down to the property is steep.
Picture quiet mornings on the patio, Whitesand Bay glinting far below as the cove begins its busy surfing day without you. Head down to the beach for sandcastles, big blue rollers, or a wander along the harbour, then retreat to your secluded hillside bungalow for an evening of fish and chips and sea-view sunsets. With the South West Coast Path right on the doorstep, every day in Sennen Cove feels like an invitation to slow down and breathe in that fresh Cornish air.
