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.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The small frustration was that only salt was left as a cooking provision. Other basics like oil, teabags and sugar werenât provided so had to be bought. We also needed to purchase extra loo roll and some of my guests werenât even there for the full week. Finally there was a smell in the drains that was quite unpleasant that was particularly noticeable in the double room bathroom.

BBQ area at the end of the carpark has great views nice to have this if your apparent doesn't have a balcony. We though that the BBQ area could be up dated possibly made bigger to make the most of its location as a future improvement.
