Senafe

We had a relaxing week staying at Senafe.

The bungalow was the perfect size for six of us and our little dog. Widemouth is pretty and peaceful and having Black Rock Beach five minutes walk away was perfect. We would 100% book again !

A lovely comfortable property.

A problem with the shower was immediately resolved. Clear instructions were on the wall in the kitchen for the cooker, washing machine and rubbish. Cleaning products also left for our use. Milk, Scones, fresh cream and strawberry jam was much appreciated. Overall a wonderful week which went far too quickly. We have stayed in three other cottages nearby and must say this has been the best! We have already booked again for next year!

2 weeks booking for 6.

No cleaning materials left at all. One toilet roll per toilet left and only 40ml of washing up liquid in small bottle. It looks like profit before anything else

Lovely property and nicely equipped, safe for dogs and great location.

This was our third stay at Senafe and was perfect.

We had a fantastic two weeks from 9-23 May supported by beautiful weather. The bungalow and garden are lovely and we appreciate the position of the property as it is so close to the beach and amenities of Widemouth Bay which is our ‘happy place’. Thank you for letting us stay at Senafe - we will be back!.

Warm comfortable clean property very spacious my only small criticism is that it would be more comfortable in the bedrooms with some rugs on the wood floor everything else was perfect thankyou

Lovely place and excellent location for us.

Close to dog friendly beach and coast path walks. Choice of food places nearby and close to lovely Bude. Accessible to Atlantic highway for trips out. Would be nice to have cream tea on arrival. Scone jam and cream. Supplied tea/ coffee but no milk? I would like basic condiments salt/ pepper. Some places do some don’t. Never sure to take or not. Basics like foil, bin bags. And the green tongs need replacing- useless. But a lovely place and hopefully will return. Thanks for a lovely week.

I have submitted a formal complaint to Sykes Cottages and I am awaiting a response.

Richard at the Management Company was as helpful as he could have been but unfortuantely the standard of cleanliness was well below what was expected for this property.

The fire wasn't made up as stated in the house folder & there was no sign of underfloor heating as mentioned in the information doc sent from Sykes

Very enjoyable stay.

Senafe is in a great location, just minutes from the beach. The property was very clean and tidy with lots of off road parking. Looking forward to staying again in the future.

Good quality accommodation - super location - our 2nd stay - will be back !

Extremely well thought out and equipped property in an excellent location.

All eventualities seem to have been covered. Very decent public transport available; car not necessary.

Simply one of the best self-catering places that we have ever stayed at.

Ideal location for the beach - great garden that is very dog friendly. We will be back asap.

Lovely house in a lovely spot.

Our second visit to Senafe, and it is like a home from home.

Great well furnished modern property.

Nice to have an enclosed garden. Also - you know that conversation -"what this property could really do with" - none of that - it had everything ! - nice place ! Only point for me to raise - that is about the "Cottage rental market" - prices went thru the roof after Covid and not returned back. I think they ALL , well most, charge too much and will drive more back aboard !

Lovely size house for a family of 6 .

Outside shower was a lifesaver after the beach . Gardens were tidy and secure which was great . Great location for exploring. Nothing to do with the property but a heads up about the noise from building work happening very close by would of been appreciated. Luckily we spent most the time out of the house but the days we had lunch there or came back in the afternoon it wasn't peaceful at all.

It was our second time staying at Senafe and couldn’t fault it at all.

Everything you’d need and more. Will be back next year

We had a fabulous week!

The property was clean to a high standard and had a lovely feel about it. The owner had left us scones, clotted cream, jam and some milk which was a lovely welcoming. Having done a lot of stay-cations, we’ve collected a number of bits and bobs, like plastic cups and bowls for the children, but this property has everything you could possibly need. It’s in a fabulous location with a variety of attractions near by. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely clean and comfortable property, thoughtfully equipped with good quality kitchen equipment and we had everything we needed.

Comfortable sofas, great showers including the hot water shower in the garden (brilliant idea!) . The garden was great for us and our labrador dog and the very short walk to the beautiful and doggy friendly Widemouth bay was the icing on the cake.

Well appointed property with secure front and back gardens.

Well equipped and comfortable property within walking distance of the beach.

We all had a fabulous family holiday at Senafe - great location for the beach and all amenities ,outdoor shower was a bonus

An excellent house with all the equipment you could ask for.

I liked the idea of putting laminated instructions on the wall to ensure you could use the various bits of kit in the kitchen - nice touch. We enjoyed our stay - many thanks

Second stay & enjoyed it just as much.

A very convenient & comfortable house.

We had a wonderful week at Senafe, everything is close by and the lovely beach is just down the road.

What more could you want!

Spotless!

Great safe garden for kids or dogs, Delicious Cream Tea. Would highly recommend !

Great location for the beach.

House was spacious & very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay in such a quiet part of Cornwall,

Lovely property - spacious & well equipped .

Enclosed garden a bonus with a dog . 4 minutes to the beach . Walking distance to two lovely cafes for breakfast

Lovely, spacious, well equipped property.

Great location for the beach. Great for my elderly, not very mobile mum and a very dog friendly property. Brilliant garden. Very peaceful. The owners appear to have thought of everything. Considering this is a dog friendly cottage, there was no trace of any dog hairs anywhere. The only thing that let it down was the cobwebs around the ceilings, this problem was particularly bad in the main bedroom and the storage area for the bed was full of dust and dirt. We hoovered these away. Remainder of the property was very clean, bedding and towels also very clean. Fabulous property and holiday and we would definitely book again and recommend to friends. Selection of tea, coffee, biscuits and lovely scones, jam and cream and milk had been left for us, which was a nice surprise. Good communication from Sykes throughout.

We enjoyed our stay and it suited our family requirements very well.

Thanks to carol the housekeeper for her efforts in presenting the property so well. Good location for the beach.

Just returned from a weeks stay at Senafe and what a fantastic place.

Perfectly clean and everything you need and more in the bungalow and the garden area was just perfect for our evening BBQ’s and also nice and secure for the dog. The perfect location for a beach holiday in Cornwall. We will be back. Thank you!!!

What a gorgeous little property!

Very well equipped with everything you need for a little break. Short walk to the gorgeous beach and located close to Bude for all the essentials. Loved the garden, very secure for our little dog who had a fab time! Thank you for sharing this little gem!

The location of the property was very good and recommend breakfast at the Black Rock cafe.

Ideally situated for dogs. The property itself is a bit tired and the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Cobwebs from the lights and ceiling, we found hair in the bath and around the shower taps, dried on food in the back of the microwave, a clump of dog hair sandwiched between plates in the cupboard and the first time on using the shower room the plug hole was blocked and the water wouldn’t go down so we had to purchase drain unblocker to rectify the problem. We have used Sykes on a few occasions this is the first time we have been disappointed.

Fantastic bungalow in a great location.

We loved that we could walk to the beach in 5 minutes and the pub in 10. There was a little shop and 2 great cafes in walking distance too. The bungalow had lots of space, comfy beds, good showers, a quality kitchen and excellent enclosed outdoor space catching the sun all day. I tried to think if there was anything we didn't like and there wasn't; we loved it!

Great position lovely and clean would definitely visit again

Cottage was everything it promised.

It was comfortable very well situated. The short walk to the beach was exactly that. The beach was lovely and perfect for our 3 dogs Cafes and shops were excellent. It’s proximity to bude and other areas like port Isaac padstow and rock meant that we had no long car journeys but were able to see some of the gems of the Cornish coast. Crackington Haven is a place best kept secret because it is so beautiful and needs to stay that way. Sunsets were stunning from Widemouth Beach. The whole family had an unforgettable holiday.

Great location, very nicely finished, will definitely return.

Thank you

Senafe is a great holiday home.

I booked it for its appealing colourful modern interior and close location to beaches. Usually I go for remote country cottages so this was a novelty for us. We had a great week despite mostly wet weather. The only slight disappointment was the lack of heart or soul to the living room. The little wood burner will create a cosier feel but we didn't feel the need for it. The house is lovely and warm. Comfortable and spacious. Easy to see the attraction to new visitors and why so many either return or plan to. We won't be going back but will recommend Senafe to larger groups of family and friends. Plenty of space for a big group with the two really good bathrooms.

We had a great stay at Senafe.

The property is very comfortable and the location is excellent, just a few minutes from the amazing dog friendly beach. Our two dogs enjoyed chasing their ball around the safe, enclosed garden and also paddling in the sea. Most of the local shops are dog friendly too which was a bonus. The weather was pretty extreme, due to the storms, but we managed to visit nearby Tintagel and Boscastle as well as Bude. The bad weather meant we had to stay home more that usual and whilst we made use of the great facility to sign in to Netflix etc. we were disappointed that there was nothing else in the property that we usually like to find, such as books or games ( despite being mentioned in the house guide pack). There were quite a number of other items listed which were not there also, such as dog blankets;first aid kit; dvds and no guest book to pass comments back. We appreciate that this might be something related to Covid, but if so, it could be mentioned in the house guide so that people can pack these things. We had a lovely holiday (sadly cut short by the red weather alert) and would definitely return to Senafe and this lovely area of Cornwall.

This is a great cottage in a wonderful location.

It's five minutes walk to the beach/cafe across the dunes. You do have to walk along the road for a few minutes but it was very quiet (out of season) with good visibility and plenty of driveways to tuck into. The house was great. Very spacious. Spotlessly clean. A great back garden for the dog overlooking fields and on a very quiet street.

Wonderfully located for the beach.

The house was perfect for our stay. Well equipped & comfortable. With 2 lovely cafes & 3 pubs all within walking distance.

Bit disappointed with cleanliness as there was fluff and dust under single beds.

No instructions how to operate white goods or central heating either.

Fantastic place great location close to beach 5 Minutes walk great enclosed garden out door Hot and cold shower loved it would definitely return to this cottage

Cottage was very well equipped.

We made great use of both the enclosed gardens for the children and dogs. The outside hot shower was a great added bonus after a day at the beach. A note with details on bin collection would have been helpful. All in all another great holiday booked through sykes.

Wonderful holiday accommodation, particularly the outside space, the garden is totally secure to allow young children to run and play freely outside!

We adored the beach, really big with lovely soft sand, and it’s super close which is really convenient for popping back to the house for lunch or the WC. We had a great week away and were really sad to leave! We hope to book to come back again in the future.

Fantastic property, with a very well equipped kitchen.

Excellent location, just a five minute walk to an great surfing beach, which is dog friendly too. We had a fantastic week, the weather was great, helped by the onshore wind which never failed to blow back the clouds to show the sun, whilst inland it was still cloudy. We will be returning.

Super designed house, a classy holiday let we will return too.

This is a gem of a holiday home.

The location is fantastic for a short walk to the beach. You will need transport to reach other Cornish tourist areas. The bungalow was comfortable and easily accommodated our multi generation family and dogs.

Great holiday, lovely an close to the beach.

Well appointed bungalow.

A lovely large, clean contemporary accommodation with a homely feel.

We had such a lovely stay, really great to have the large enclosed and safe garden for the dogs. Such a lovely property, will certainly be back.

You need to be aware that on arrival at 6pm the keys were not properly in the key safe on the outside wall, they were hanging through the bottom not n the lockable section.

The French windows in the lounge were unlocked as was the small conservatory. However , as always our stay in a Sykes property was excellent, relaxed and comfortable. One thing that would have been useful is info on how to use the appliances etc maybe a typed sheet laminate on the wall.but we got there in the end.

Beautiful, contemporary cottage in an incredible location.

Well equipped, with a lovely secure garden for the kids & dog, the outside shower was a real bonus for sandy feet & paws. Being less than 5 minutes stroll to the beach and an easy walk to excellent cafes, restaurants & pubs was perfect. Bude is very close, with all the facilities you could need.... & yet more beaches. So many activities on offer locally too, we tried Canadian canoeing, kayaking, boogie boarding & surfing. A really great family holiday in a fabulous location.

Would have been nice to have some basics provided, I.

e. not enough bin bags or loo roll for 6 adults self catering for a week. Otherwise a lovely property in a fabulous location to a very good specification.

We’ve stayed in lots of holiday let’s throughout the country and this was by far the best - the added little extras, such as the mince pies and clotted cream on arrival!

the spare toilet rolls and more than one dishwasher tablet (fantastic when you don’t have a dishwasher at home and therefore don’t want to buy a whole packet!) were small touches that made a real difference! Thank you for going the extra mile - it made the world of difference to us!!

Lovely stay in Widemouth.

We already know the area well and this place was an excellent base. Lots of facilities. Kitchen v well equipped. Very clean and owners have clearly spent a lot doing this place up. Was a real home from home.

We had a wonderful week at Widemouth Bay, Senafe was the perfect holiday home.

Despite it being rainy October we enjoyed the local beach and some lovely walks. We hope to return next year

The bungalow is all I think anyone would want as a base for the Bude area, local beaches are just the best and surrounded by great countryside and pretty coastal villages.

The bungalow is very clean and well laid out with good bathrooms and all rooms for in our case a couple were of a good size but would work for a larger group easily Local food is a disappointment with only the Beach house 1/2 a mile away being the only evening meal out worth eating let along worth the money which is a shame for the area, I am sure there are other eateries but for me I never found one, As for Widemouth beach and the area I loved it and will be back for another holiday and if this bungalow is available I will look to rent it again

Would return to Senafe.

It was perfect for what we wanted and the dogs loved the beaches at Widemouth Bay. The property had all we needed and great location .
