“We were worried about being so close to the A30, but it was fine.”

The sea view from the cottage was a treat. Booked for next year before we even went home.

“Location was good.”

Information folder badly written. On arrival only one bulb out of three in the bathroom was working. That bulb failed so we sent a message to the maintenance person who came out to fix but only changed one, but did come back to fix the following day. One bulb failed again before the end of the following day. At one point I had to move one of the sofa's and noticed a considerable amount of dust under it and around the skirting boards. There was also dirt around the shower where it had not be cleaned properly. The electric heater in the bathroom had a considerable amount of dust on it. Cottage need a deep clean. Although not directly the fault of the owners, another resident parked in our allocated parking space meaning we had to park on the main road.

“A very well equipped property in a perfect location”

- Mrs Knight, September 2019
“The Location is fabulous, the walk to the cove is good unless you have asthma, asthmatics do not cope well with steep uphill walks.”

However the cove is easy to get to by car and parking is cheap.You are right next to the A30 but it really is not that busy the cottage is double glazed so there is very little traffic noise the thing that grizzled me most was vans parking right outside the window when I was sea watching, people do walk by but they didn't really gawp in some glanced but that was it, the chip shop is right next door if you come out the back gate, and a cost cutter for basics,and the pub is a short two to five minute walk up the road the First and Last Inn, very friendly and lucky for us every other week is quiz night which were there for a lot of fun, food is pretty good too as is Little Bo café down in Sennen. we found the property easy to navigate to an excellent base. dishwasher and washing machine/dryer available I didn't use these myself really home from home the only let down for my daughter was no wifi. would use this property again.

“Location fine.”

The cottage should be very nice, however on opening the front door the entrance is quite dirty. The door is at best difficult to lock. The bathroom gives off a damp smell that stays constantly throughout the cottage, I think it’s now well overdue for a revamp throughout everything is tired and dated. They say the camera doesn’t lie in this case I would disagree, from the online description you’re left completely unaware that the cottage backs directly onto the extremely busy A30, with traffic at all hours. The entrance drive track is in a disgraceful state of repair with cavernous potholes to be negotiated, the cottage notes advise a speed limit on the track, really! Thankfully once out of the cottage the areas walks and beaches soon remind you just how beautiful Cornwall really is. Recommendation NO will we return here NO

- Mr Clure, June 2019
“The cottage was nearly accurately described, didn’t mention, the strange parking facilities.”

Had to walk 100 yds for the car , and when the weather is not very good you can get very wet . No instructions for cooker , I have used electric before , but I couldn’t get the cooker to work. Hob was ok . The cottage was in a very good area for looking around SW Cornwall.

- Mrs Taylor, June 2019
“The listing implies a nice quiet cottage with sea views.”

The cottage is actually four feet from the main A30 to Lands End with constant traffic including coaches. There is also a pavement directly passing the property with regular pedestrians looking straight in - we spent the whole week with the blinds down for privacy. The allocated parking space is 100 yards from the property - this is a problem for those with limited mobility (my wife).

- Mr Marshall, May 2019
“The location and facilities where easy accessible very pleasing decor but could of done with table lamp in lounge area for the dark evenings, Above all we would definitely return Thanks for a great holiday, !”

“You said its best thing going for away break, its was as it says home from home with all to offer as above .”

1. But can I please ask you to look at the back door it needs seeing to as it , will not open all the way , unless you force the door to hard . 2. The car parking space you gave has were to park ones car , in car park bay 9A you do need badly to look again in the way you pain out the parking on that site. 3. You got 9A car parking but has in the same building and also you next door building is 21, you gave 21 building a parking space next to 9 building eta bur someone on that site gone one more parking space wrong . 4. You got parking bays 6. [ 1. blank space no number ] then you got 10. 11. 16. 17. 18. 21. and one bay with no number eta . 5. your house number's do not match the house numbers . I think that's the best way I can I think of putting it to you the parking made it the worst spot though are holidays we found up setting , and some what did not understand, why some one was on that site changing the parking numbers one day we found someone change just one more parking spot number again not matching the real house number in that area. apart from that all well thanks.

- Mr Cope, March 2019
“The cottage is in a magnificent location for enjoying this end of Cornwall if you want to get away from it all but still be close to all that the area has to offer.”

It was comfortable and warm when we visited during the windiest and wettest week in March 2019 with plenty of books, dvds and local information leaflets to keep us occupied when we were not braving the elements. Small details would have improved it overall such as removing the cobwebs around the lights and noticing that two bulbs had blown in the kitchen. The addition of a bedside reading light on both sides of the bed in the double room would have been great. Storage for clothes and food was a bit tight all round so it would be a squeeze with 4 people. As ever, WiFi would have been a bonus too. If we visited this area again, we'd happily stay in this cottage again

- Mrs Harrison, March 2019
“Lovely place, clean and tidy, perfect location for our needs.”

Penzance is near enough for a big food shop.

- Mr Lee, December 2018
“On arrival there was a strong smell in the cottage which took 3 days to clear.”

Initially we thought this was damp after reading the comments book but as the weather was warm and dry, this was discounted. We believe that the smell was a result of over use of the cleaning chemicals/materials. This was apparent when we tried to use the teapot which resulted in a bad tasting, and bad smelling cup of tea as the same cleaner had been used to clean the teapot. Once cleaned it was ok. The bathroom could have been cleaner. There was mould around the bath taps, the bottom of the shower screen and around the window. The only ventilation available was to open the window, not the best idea as the neighbour would be able to look directly into the room when you use the shower. There was no extractor only a wall heater. The booklet for the cottage stated that the heating should remain switched on at all times. However the heater in the lounge although switched on, did not work. The lights were on but no heat came from the heater. ***Owner Response*** “Thank you for the feedback - this is very much appreciated this enables us to understand the things which might need a little ‘love and care’ in the property, as inevitably things do overtime with use. We plan to • repair / replace the radiator in the lounge at the earliest opportunity • Fit an extractor fan in the bathroom - this has not been pointed out as an issue previously, however I can recognise that if the bathroom door is left closed all the time this could be an issue We were in the property about 4 weeks before your stay and were really pleased with the condition and the cleanliness of the place. We are sorry that in the intervening period a small amount of discolouration has appeared in the bathroom and this is certainly something that will be the focus for cleaning in the future”. David

“As our first experience using Sykes Cottages, we were very pleased and are very likely to use you again in the future.”

We absolutely loved the property we stayed in and thought it was perfect for what we needed. The location was great and facilities nearby were great. The cleanliness was very good and very comfortable. We had amazing weather too, so thanks for arranging that for us too!! We couldn't have had a better week!! Thanks again, Louise & Owen

- Miss Brooks, September 2018
“The cottage was superbly equipped and beautifully decorated,however nowhere on the description was it mentioned that you are positioned on the A30,all windows on one side of the cottage open on to the road and cars park right next to windows.”

There is a mention of the ocean views from patio area, but you are literally looking across A30 and yes they are lovely,in-between cars spoiling that. There is a gate from patio area,care if you have children as when opened you are stood on A 30. from the

“Bad maintence of property,(wooden flooring breaking up in dining area over grown garden all weeds)”

- Mr Wells, June 2018
“Brilliant Holiday thanks.”

- Mrs Charles, May 2018
“A lovely cottage, well equipped and very warm and cosy, the only downside.”

.. I cannot see anywhere on the listing that the cottage is situated on the main road to Lands End, not too busy at this time of year (traffic did keep us awake in the night with lights shining in the window!) but in the summer months it would be unbearable! The "private" patio is overlooked by next door, but more importantly it is on the main road and so therefore not private at all! Many thanks Andy and Lisa

- Mr Gilbert, March 2018
“The listing does not show accurately the position of the cottage i.”

E. right on the A30 with a pavement next to the kitchen and bedroom windows. The road was used as a car park while people shopped so privacy was never there and noisy with traffic and people going about their daily chores.We could not leave windows open ( Noisy) and patio was very noisy if sat out there as well. Distance from car parking space should be explained better as it was much further than expected for carrying suitcases and shopping We think the listing is deliberately misleading by not explaining where the cottage is i.e. On the A30 as the traffic noise was not enjoyed, also states its near to a chip shop so when you look at the area you could assume it means the other chip shop in Sennen cove not the A30. There was no way of checking where it was until we paid and booked which is fair enough but the listing should be more informative not leaving out information. This is my only complaint about this cottage as other wise it is a lovely place and a lovely cottage with good decor and well equipped.

The property

A superb barn conversion just a short walk from beautiful Sennen Cove.

With ocean views from every room, Kerensa ha-Kres sits in the village of Sennen on the far west Cornish coastline and is within a five minute drive of stunning Lands End.

With accommodation all on one level, the barn is snuggled in the corner of a pretty courtyard with a private raised terrace overlooking the sea.

The open-plan sitting room and both bedrooms have windows capturing a vision of sea.

The white gloss kitchen and ocean-coloured inspired bathroom add to the very charismatic interior which is a fusion of character and modern charm.

Enjoy a picnic on the private, elevated patio amidst the almost uninterrupted country and ocean vista, with garden table and chairs for dining under the sun or stars.

There's outdoor space for surf gear and buckets and spades, or bring cycles to explore this magical most westerly tip of Cornwall.

If you opt not to cook, the fish and chip shop and good food inn are all within a few minutes walk, plus a village store for provisions.

The Lands End Peninsula boasts dramatic land and seascapes.

The coastal path is ideal for discovering the rugged coastline and beautiful coves and beaches.

Sennen Cove has a popular one mile stretch of sandy beach and Whitesands Beach is a favourite with the surfers, with terrace restaurant looking out across the Atlantic, a pub for refreshment and a surf shop for the water adventurous.

The beach at Porthcurno is very beautiful and the Minack theatre is a striking setting with seats carved from the cliff face against the ever changing backdrop of sea and sky.

For those that love the dramatic coastline of Cornwall Kerensa ha-Kres is hard to beat!

About the location

SENNEN

Land’s End 1 mile; St Just 5 miles; Penzance 9 miles.

The most westerly village in mainland Britain, Sennen has a lovely mile-long beach of pure white sand and is a very popular holiday destination. With excellent surfing conditions, the village has its own surf school – overlooked by a super-cool beach bar/restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows which make the most of the wonderful views. Once a hub of smuggling activity, Sennen still retains many secret passages – one of which is said to lead to the covered well in the Old Success Inn. Largely unchanged over time, this lovely village has a timeless appeal and is home to a gallery, a medieval church, an Iron Age fort and a small selection of shops where you can buy beachware, gifts and souvenirs, and a range of groceries. There is also a weekly Farmers’ Market in the village Community Centre each Tuesday morning. During the summer, the beach bar becomes a hub of activity and entertainment, with live music, weekly barbecues and popular surfing competitions.
