Imagine waking up to the sunrise overlooking two of England’s best beaches at Sennen and towards Cape Cornwall, and in the evening having sunsets from the terrace overlooking the Land’s End Lighthouse and the Scilly Isles. All this from visitors’ own 270-degree living room (40ft across) designed in the round with seven sets of sliding patio doors leading out onto a huge decked terrace. This house is in the most stunning location nestling high on the headland at Mayon Cliff surrounded by National Trust land and the dramatic coastline towards Land’s End. Shark Fin is the ultimate architect-designed house with all the very latest hi-tech eco features. Use of the natural environment has been paramount to harness the earth’s energy. A heat pump with two 80-metre boreholes provides zoned underfloor heating to all rooms, solar panels discreetly incorporated into the rear roof slopes provide energy for hot water and photovoltaic panels for electricity generation. Sennen Cove boasts one of the loveliest stretches of sand in Cornwall and still retains much of the original atmosphere of a fishing village with its own life boat stations. A very popular spot for surfers and for families with children. This property is ideal for friends or families looking to walk or relax and watch the sun set over the ocean. On the beach there is a lovely restaurant, a café and a local village pub ‘The Old Success’. Also two other cafes, tea rooms and local shops are a short walk down the cliff from the property. Visit the nearby Minack Theatre with its open air amphitheatre cut into the cliff looking across the ocean. It is a short air trip from Land’s End airport to the Isles of Scilly.
There are drops in the garden.

The house was well designed and modern with the living room having 360° veiws across the sea. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious with patio doors outside. I would definitely recommend Shark finn although it is expensive you get more than your moneys worth if there are 6 people staying.

This is a fantastic property in an amazing location & perfect for our special anniversary holiday.I have only given 3 stars for comfort & equipment as the basics were sadly very poor. Feature lights in dining room & bathroom didn’t work, the jacuzzi bath wouldn’t work due to very corroded batteries, cheap toilet rolls with no spares provided, no spare bin bags. These issues were annoying considering the cost. However, like others before us, we would happily stay here again as the positives hugely outweigh the negatives!
