About this property
Well-positioned in Sennen, near the Penwith Heritage Coast in Cornwall, is Stargazers, a stunning three-bedroom holiday home.

Mayon Cliff Shipwreck and Land's End are also nearby, offering even greater coastal views. Travelling further into the county, enjoy tours around Jackson Foundation Gallery, or select between Cape Cornwall, and Kenidjack Valley for the perfect vantage point.

Enjoy an opulent stay at Stargazers.
Sennen, the westernmost settlement in mainland Britain, is a well-liked vacation spot with a wonderful mile-long stretch of fine, white sand beach. The hamlet, which has great surfing conditions, has its own surf school, which is watched over by a stylish beach bar and restaurant with floor to ceiling windows that take advantage of the stunning scenery. Sennen, a former centre of smuggling, still has many hidden passageways, one of which is rumoured to lead to the covered well at the Old Success Inn. This charming village, which has remained almost untouched over the ages, is home to a gallery, a mediaeval church, an Iron Age fort, and a small number of stores where you can buy beachwear, presents and souvenirs, as well as a variety of groceries.

! The house is modern whilst homely with lovely furnishings throughout. Everything and more was provided including kitchen foodstuff items such as salt and pepper and the extensive welcome hamper was much appreciated which also included treats for the dog. We also found a cupboard with extra sheets, towels and beach towels which we never used as we brought our own. Great location, remote enough but also close to local pubs and shops. Be aware you can walk to the beach but itâs down (and then up!) steep hills so a good 25 minute walk (we drove instead!). We couldnât fault this place and had everything we needed and the master bedroom is very special with the full length windows, balcony and views. The only thing missing was maybe some instructions such as bin day and the cleaning filter for the coffee machine as the warning light came on whilst we were there. We would definitely recommend this place as a luxurious holiday home in a great location to explore Cornwall.

What a beautiful house and garden in Sennen. Not too far to a beach or a pub for lunch and we spent our afternoons sunbathing in the garden on the lovely comfortable garden furniture- including a hammock. Met the neighbours including Kevin and Kitty the chihuahuas. Our dogs loved the space too and the beach of course. Most places are now dog friendly and even the dogs got a pack of treats. The welcome pack was the best ever at a property we have received and the scones clotted cream and jam were very tasty!! We only found Alexa a few days - like being at home. Fantastic array of stuff left in the house such as tea bags, some coffee pods, black bags, dishwasher and washing machine pods and things like salt and pepper and vinegar was in the cupboard- makes such a difference not having to buy (or travel with) all that stuff! When we were there another company I had booked a holiday with got in touch to say we had been double booked and would I like a refund or book somewhere else - so refund it was and we re-booked Stargazers for my birthday in September. It is a little expensive (for a skint NHS worker) but you get what you pay for - Iâd like to book every year to go back! By far the best air bnb we have stayed in! No visitor book to sign or comment and no owner manual but all the instructions for microwave etc were in the kitchen- the microwave looked a bit space age - but found the instructions and it was easy then! Thanks to the neighbour who recommended beaches and places to visit but we mainly chilled at the house - oh and we took Harry the tortoise

Extremely comfortable with all facilities you need! Did not want for anything the week we were there. Lovely furnishings in every room and beds were so comfortable it all made for a very happy week ! Our 2 legged friends also enjoyed their stay and they also had their own beds and bowls provided which we thought was a lovely touch! Will definitely be returning!!
