  I needed to find some where quiet where I could rest my mind but it needed to be near the sea.

  I found Sennen Heights on the web site, the price for a 7 night stay was very reasonable, plus it was next to the sea. The pictures on the site were pretty good so I booked it. One thing the directions could have used a little improvement as it was really hard to find the flat. In the end I was lucky enough to come across a couple of locals who showed m where it was. Loved the flat, had everything I needed, except a washing/drying machine. But then this was not listed on the site so no complaints, I hand washed the clothes I needed to. I would also say that the site needs to make it very clear that the stairs are quite a climb and this is definitely not for the non able bodied in my opinion. Sennen cove itself is a beautiful place but it does shut down in the winter months, only the Pub is open, the local shop is not. So you have to nip across the Sennen to the CostCutter shop which is open 7 days a week, 8am-8pm. It is only a 10 minute walk once you find the local path to it! The walks are amazing along the cliff tops in both directions, the cove beach itself is stunning. The weather can be a little strong there to as it is on the Western Coast, the wind can be immensely strong, and it can get cld in the winter months. Although in Summer I can imagine it being rammed with beach goers. I went for peace and quiet and that is exactly what I got! One final recommendation is to gram some supplies before you arrive, bead, butter, perhaps some microwave meals. It has cooking facilities, including a combination grill/microwave. There is a TV but the channels are limited, for me this was not an issue as I was not there to sit in and watch the telly! All in all for me it was perfect and I will definitely go there again when I need a break. But if you are looking for a lively vacation, then bear in mind this is a quiet costal village. Jules

  We booked to stay at Sennen Heights for 1 week.

  Prior to our arrival we had been advised that check in/ out times had been amended to allow extra time for cleaning. We had a very disappointing arrival to find that the apartment had not been cleaned to a good enough standard. Our holiday began with cleaning the apartment ourselves! I had to brush up, wipe down the kitchen, polish the coffee table, clean the extractor fan (as there was grease dripping from it). There was mould & mildew from dampness on the blinds throughout the apartment and around the window in the toilet. I even found to mop that I can only assume is used by the cleaners, in the cupboard in the bathroom, it smelt of stagnant water and was black. The more I looked the more it appeared this apartment had not been deep cleaned in a while, leading to zero faith that the apartment was even ‘covid’ safe. During our stay the shower broke, not ideal after a full day on the beach. However I have to admit that Sykes Cottages had this repaired swiftly. The apartment overall was equipped to a fairly good enough standard, but not what is expected when paying over £800 for 1 week. There was no oven (just a microwave), the WiFi never worked, the tv lacked channels, minimal lighting in the bedroom (stick on nightlights on the wall with batteries in that did not work) and only 1 bath towel given each for an entire week. There was some lovely complimentary scones, jam, clotted cream and milk on arrival, and fresh flowers on the dining table. However I feel efforts should have been concentrated more on cleaning and ensuring the apartment overall was comfortable. The apartment had stunning views of the beach and Sennen itself is beautiful. We will 100% return to Sennen however opting for different accommodation.

  Just back from a fabulous short break staying at apartment 9 Sennen Heights.

  The apartment was exactly what we wanted and expected...fabulous views, quite and cosy. Really easy to find when you park in the Harbour car park, Sennen Heights is just behind the car park. It’s a steep climb up to the apartment, so we would only recommend staying here if you are able bodied and fit enough to climb approximately 30-40 steep steps up to the apartment from the sea. The apartment itself is kitted out with everything you need and looks like it has been decorated fairly recently. The views from every room (including the loo) were just wonderful. Sennen Heights is a short walk down to the cove where you will find a pub, restaurant, cafe, shop and fish and chip outlet. We went to the pub for dinner and tried out the fish and chip shop, both were excellent. NB: Shop and cafe closed for the winter months. Staying here you are right on the coastal path, which offers wonderful walks in both directions. It’s a nice easy walk to Lands End and would highly recommend it. Would we stay here again...YES...already booked for later in the year.

  The property was cosy and comfortable.

  Scones and milk on arrival and flowers were a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay but a few things need some attention. 1) The property instructions folder needs a review. The WiFi details are incorrect and only a text message from the owner revealed the password (that I have written in the instructions). The location of the wheelie bin key is not described correctly. The kitchen equipment user guides are not mentioned. We eventually found them under the scales in one of the drawers. 2) Three of the oven buttons are missing so its timer functions cannot be used. 3) The fridge motor is very noisy. 4) The DVD player was in a drawer and needed connecting up in order to use it. 5) The online property summary mentions 'CD/radio' but we did not find a radio. 6) Would be useful to have a user guide for the TV, DVD, etc. 7) Bedroom walls were running wet with dampness or condensation. At such properties we usually expect some shower gel or conditioner to be supplied. There are very few drawers for storing clothes in the bedroom.

  The Old Bakery is the hidden gem of Newlyn. From booking to departure the whole holiday was stress free and we thoroughly enjoyed our time staying in the house. From the pink front door to the underfloor heating in the bathroom, there have been no compromises with the refurbishment of this house. The beds are super comfy, the kitchen is a dream and the cute little welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits was well received upon arrival. The owners have gone above and beyond here and we loved our stay. They have literally thought of everything from a board games cupboard to cookbooks! The location is superb. There are shops, a chip shop, a pub and a little cafe to name a few places all within a couple of minutes stroll. We parked the car each night in the Duke St public car park which was free overnight from 4pm - 9am and was ideal for us. We would 100% recommend a stay at this property. It was a welcome retreat and we would return again without question! A well deserved 5 star review! Thank you!
