  • Quiet and private; warm and cosy in winter and light and airy for summer
  • Unwind in your choice of two gardens whilst the children and dogs spend their energy
  • Walks aplenty from your doorstep with the South West Coast Path just a few steps away
Property code: OC-H22627

Tucked away in a quiet rural spot on the edge of the quaint village of Sennen, lose yourself in uninterrupted views across West Cornwall’s countryside from almost every window of this idyllic retreat. Scenic windswept walks along South West Coast Path and across Sennen Beach await on your doorstep.

A roaring wood burner-effect gas fire, traditional flagstone flooring and exposed wood timbers in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner create a truly warming ambience reminiscent of a traditional Cornish farmhouse. A large set of patio doors flood the space with plenty of natural sunlight whilst the ceiling spotlights perfectly reflect the clear starry night sky after sundown. Where style and comfort combine, the spacious king-size and twin bedrooms both feature a soothing neutral colour palette and crisp linens that ensure a peaceful night’s rest before tomorrow’s adventure. On a fine evening, throw open the patio doors in the open-plan living space to dine alfresco on the paved patio with views towards the sea as your backdrop; children can let off some steam exploring the walled grassy garden accessed up a few stone steps.

Situated on the most south-westerly spot of Cornwall, Sennen, just under 2 miles away, offers everything you’d expect from a Cornish coastal haven, from the gloriously golden sands of Sennen Cove, home to one of the country's leading surf schools, to a harbour boasting a range of local shops, galleries and cafes. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path and head north across the cliff tops to Gwinver Beach (0.5 miles), popular with keen surfers and water sports enthusiasts. Famous for its natural beauty and unique location, venture to the iconic Land’s End (3 miles) to explore the magnificent cliff-top trails and West Country Shopping Village.

Our third time visiting High Cliff, fantastic location for walking the costal paths and a lovely comfortable cottage, felt right at home from the moment we arrived.

Beautiful large stone cottage in a small farming hamlet, quiet and peaceful. Comfortable bed, very well equipped kitchen and perfect heating system made our stay very enjoyable. And another big plus - gas fireplace was amazing during the rainy gloomy days. Theer are stunning coastal paths right our the door, two sandy beaches within 15 min walRead morek and Land's End is less than an hour walk along the cliffs and wild ponies. We liked our stay so much, that we extended it for another week! Hide

Good area for visiting many attractions, nice safe garden. House looking a bit "tired" needs some TLC. Needs a thorough clean. Correct instructions to the property needed as tucked away in a hamlet and very difficult to find.

A beautiful, bright and airy cottage which is spotlessly clean and very comfortable; the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. Wonderful walks in every direction - we would definitely like to stay here again.
