Overview
Property code: OC-P00653

Enjoy spectacular sea views from the open-plan living space and light-filed bedroom of this wonderful apartment for two, perched high on a hillside overlooking Sennen Cove and the sweeping Whitesands Bay below.

Set above the coastal path and accessed by 80 steps from the road below, this apartment offers a serene escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of life. Upon entering, you’ll discover a spacious and stylish lounge/kitchen/diner, complete with a telescope, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and intimate meals with breathtaking views as your backdrop. Indulge in an extra touch of luxury with a delightful roll-top bath positioned beneath the bedroom window at the end of the super-king-size bed, allowing you to soak in panoramic views while enjoying a glass of bubbly. A double-head walk-in rainfall shower awaits you in the gleaming shower room, which completes this romantic retreat. There’s no garden attached to the apartment, but the great outdoors is right on the doorstep, with the coast path and beach within easy reach.

Sennen Cove is a haven for surf enthusiasts and nature admirers alike, where you can explore the mile-long expanse of soft, pristine sands at Whitesands Bay and bask in the sun or take on the Atlantic rollers. Discover a delightful array of independent shops, art galleries, cosy cafes, and tempting eateries, all within easy reach. 3.5 miles away lies the world-famous Minack Theatre, nestled amidst the dramatic cliffs of Porthcurno. Lose yourself in a captivating performance or simply revel in the awe-inspiring surroundings. Discover the iconic Land’s End, 1 mile from home, marking the westernmost point of mainland England. Alternatively, simply step out your door and onto the South West Coast Path and allow the natural beauty of the surroundings to awaken your sense of adventure.

"The Lookout" at Sennen Cove has a number of desirable features. It is located very close to the harbour and beach (even if the 76 steps up to it can be demanding), and also to the coast path. It has fantastic views of the sea from three large windows. The flat has a contemporary, coastal feel and is light and airy. The extra-large bed is comfortabRead morele. The bathroom has an excellent shower, and the one-person bath in the bedroom is a lovely addition, especially given the view from it. There is plenty of hot water and good water pressure throughout the flat. The kitchen includes a full-size cooker and oven, 'fridge, and microwave, and while there isn't much preparation space, it will probably work well enough for most. There is also a washing machine (which we didn't use). Sadly, the flat isn't particularly well looked after. The cleaning in particular was poor in places. While the obvious things were clean enough (sink, bath, shower, etc.), we were bothered by the following: (1) We had to clean dusty cobwebs and spiders off the walls and ceilings in the bedroom. It was clear that no one had done this for weeks. (2) There were what looked like animal hairs on the bed cover when we arrived. (3) There was a dirty single mattress underneath the bed, as well as a mattress protector and sheet. (4) The floor throughout the flat had not been mopped for some time and was sticky. (5) There was black mold on all the window frames. It looked like someone had possibly run a cloth over some of it, but little more than that. We found that a substantial amount came off with just a cursory wipe, suggesting that no one had made any real effort to clean them in a long time. Some of the walls around the windows also needed to have mold removed and to be repainted. (6) The blinds were dirty and needed washing or replacing. (7) The windows were dirty and needed to be cleaned on the inside and the outside. (8) The 'fridge was so noisy that it could be heard in the bedroom with the door closed. Given that it only just about managed to keep items cold when on its coldest setting (and that in cool-ish weather), it presumably needed repair. Our milk went off after two days of being in there, strangely. (9) The sliding bedroom door only opened about three quarters of the way because of how it had been hung. (10) The windows, which are one the flat's main attractions, open inwards, but couldn't be opened more than a few inches because of the blinds. (11) The telescope didn't work, despite following he instructions; my best guess is that a power cable was missing. We drew this to Original Cottages' attention the day after we arrived using the e-mail address specified for support during stays, but heard nothing back. If the issues above were addressed, we would be happy to recommend this flat without reservation and probably to book it again ourselves. Hide

This apartment is only suitable for the fit and able. It is halfway down a cliff with 78 steps ( some very steep) to the top road (Marias Lane) and 80 steps down to the harbour front where there is some non- designated residents parking. This make unloading and loading of the car really difficult. In saying this, the views from the apartment are exRead moreceptional and make the trek up and down more worthwhile. The rooms are spacious and the bed is huge and very comfortable. The shower was also very good and there was plenty of hot water. We would have preferred a proper table and chairs to the bar and stools but maybe thats an age thing! The WiFi is excellent but the TV is BT only so there is no Freeview and it is blocked for linking any personal accounts eg Sky Go. It is also quite slow and cumbersome to use. Hide
