Wunderbar

Das Haus ist klein und schnuckelig, man hat alles was man braucht. Die Lage ist perfekt um direkt los zuwandern oder an den Strand zu gehen. Unseren Söhnen hat das Medienzimmer super gefallen

Family wedding

Classic thatched cottage in a great location on the front. It had everything we needed. The outdoor shower and space to dry wetsuits were great. We loved the hand built kitchen and the garden cottage and decking area were a big bonus. The cottage does have low ceilings and doorways and so if you are tall beware of bumped heads. The dishwasher rack and cutlery basket could do with being replaced.

Mid May Week’s stay

Both myself and my son had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Capstan Cottage. We spent our week section hiking the SWCP which was literally just outside our front door. The cottage had everything we needed. I was in the double room. I can’t tell you how much I was soothed to sleep, hearing the sound of the sea. My bed, too, was super comfy, lovely plump, firm pillows….perfect. But waking up to that view, now that was something special ….wow ….:just WOW. The cottage sort of wraps round you. It’s hard to explain but there was something so calming about it. Standing at the island cooker, with the the top of the barn door open, browning onions while watching the world go by, fishing boats bobbing on the waves and always that sound of the sea. Magical. My son is on the autistic spectrum and found the cinema cabin facilities superb. He could hook his laptop up to the projector and keep in contact with all his dungeon and dragon groups as well as watch Star Wars sagas in B I G technicolour (ok..so maybe that was me too). We also visited the Sennen market on Tuesday. I can definitely recommend it. Lots of delicious, good quality, local food, produce and crafts. I bought myself some beautiful handmade silver earrings. We can also highly recommend the Sennen cove chippy. They were THE best fish and chips we’ve ever eaten. Crispy chips and crunchy battered, fat, fresh, flaky cod. We ended up going back for our last nights supper. I’m drooling just remembering. Communication was spot on and when I forgot my phone and binoculars Ruth returned them special delivery so both arrived the next day. (I know ….superb, huh!) Thank you so much, Ruth for a fantastic holiday. We’ll definitely be back 🥰

Properly relaxing holiday

Really nice property - the cinema room was far better than expected - bring popcorn! (And any must watch blurays) really great set up - the on.y minus is having to walk back to the cottage kf its started raining and you have not thought to bring a brolly or coat Kitchen is great, a few hidden drawers which caught us out initially - the cottage is really walm and to be able to listen to the sea at night is great. The local pub is nice and being able to stroll out to hpthe beach or along the coastal path without havjng to any driving is a real bonus

About the host

Hosted by ruth cheyne

We have lived in Sennen for the past 19 years, originally as "Covers" in Capstan Cottage, but with our extending family we have now become "Overhillers" and moved up to Sunny Corner Lane. Sennen is a very special place and it will be lovely to share it's magic with others.

Why they chose this property

Sennen Cove is an amazing location if you love the sea. Just a stones throw to the beach for a dip or a surf. It's a lovely place to return to after a days work, an evening walk down the beach removes any stress!
The stunning views from the house are like a living piece of art and no matter how long I live or spend here it never ceases to impress me.
