A spacious, stylish, cosy and comfortable semi-detached cottage, set across one floor with sea views from the garden out to the Longships Lighthouse in the ancient farming hamlet of Escalls. Converted from single storey granite barns on two sides of a courtyard and set on the cliffs above Whitesand Bay and Sennen Cove, it is within walking distance, by footpath, of magnificent sandy beaches. 

The villages of Sennen and Sennen Cove have a small selection of local shops, pubs and an excellent farmers market which can either be reached by footpaths across the fields or 5 minutes in the car.  For the more energetic the Blue Flag surfing beaches at Whitesands and Gwynver are a fifteen minute walk down the hill by cliff path. 

The stretch of coastal footpath leading round Mayon Cliff to Lands End has stunning scenery and pleasure flights to the Isles of Scilly are available from the Lands End airstrip nearby.  Penzance on the south facing shores of Mounts Bay is a 15 minute drive and has a good selection of shops and galleries. 

St Ives, with its galleries, beaches and cafes is within easy reach by car, open top bus or train. The area is brilliant at any time of year for walking, exploring galleries, museums, potteries and surfing, or just resting in the cottage garden or in front of the gas fire.

Finally, staying in this part of Cornwall would not be complete without watching one of many performances at the truly wonderful, Minack theatre.  Close by to the Minack, is the Telegraph Museum (Museum of Global Communications) which is a very interesting and informative.  Both of these visitor attractions are just 5 miles from Highcliff Cottage. 

 

The cottage is approached by a farm lane and entered from the outer side by way of a landscaped garden and parking space for two cars. 

The front door leads into an entrance lobby with a bench and coat pegs and then into an open-plan, light and airy living room with television.  There is a well equipped kitchen with dining table and chairs to seat four and comfortable sofas next to a gas woodburner effect fire. Kitchen appliances include dishwasher, fridge/freezer, gas hob and electric oven, Nespresso machine, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Off the entrance lobby you will find a 5ft kingsize double bedroom. An inner hallway from the other side of the open plan living space gives access to a shower room W.C. with hand basin and a further bedroom which has twin beds. There is ample hanging and drawer space across both bedrooms. 

French doors from the open plan living space lead out to a paved patio with picnic table and three steps up to a walled grassy garden on the seaward side. 

The cottage is quiet and private; warm and cosy in winter and light and airy for summer.

This property is efficiently heated via central heating.

French doors lead out to a paved patio with picnic table and three steps up to a walled grassy garden on the seaward side.

Travel to this most south-western part of the UK and treat yourself to a traditional Cornish coastal holiday in Sennen village. You’ll love Sennen Cove’s golden, sandy beach (also aptly known as Whitesands Bay) and legendary Land’s End a few miles on. Sennen holidays attract holidaymakers aplenty, but this is no surprise as the area boasts stunning beaches, striking cliff faces and spectacular rural landscapes.

Sennen is surrounded by rolling hills, beautiful beaches and lots to see and do. A holiday in Sennen is the perfect base for walks along the scenic coastline, with relics of the village’s mining history cast amongst the countryside. Sennen is rich in history and heritage, including stories of pirates and smuggling – just ask the landlord at the local hostelry, The First and Last Pub, while sipping freshly poured local ale!

A trip to this part of Cornwall is all about the county’s many great beaches, and Sennen has two of the best. Both Sennen Cove and nearby Gwenver beach are incredibly beautiful all year round. The beaches are quieter than bustling Newquay, but still offer great waves. A holiday in Sennen really delivers with surfing schools offering lessons, as well as paddle and bodyboarding. Maybe you’ll go home with a newfound hobby?

For the more relaxed visitor, pack a picnic and find a spot to spend time lazing and recharging while dreamily looking out to sea to spot seals and dolphins – or, locals would have you believe, maybe mermaids playing in the waves! For budding fishermen, pitch up on the shoreline, rod in hand for a catch of the day. If you’re not lucky, either head down to the harbour and join one of the boats for a deep-sea fishing trip, or buy some bass and mackerel (classic Cornish staples) from one of the local fishing boats.

Sennen Cove spoils visitors with glorious coastal views, and depending on when you visit, you may get to witness the immense power and the full force of nature as Atlantic storms roll in. Expect to see huge waves crashing along the dramatic Cornish coastline.

When the sun isn’t shining, treat yourself to a visit at the Roundhouse and Capstan Gallery exhibiting and selling Cornish art and crafts. You’ll find the galley in the village centre; it’s the perfect place to find a souvenir to bring home. You might like to check out Sennen’s own little farmers’ market, held every Tuesday, to stock up on local produce and buy a couple of home-made meals that can be popped into the oven back at your cottage when you’re not eating out at one of the nearby good-eating pubs.

The cottage is approached by a farm lane and entered from the outer side by way of a landscaped garden and parking space for two cars.

Amazing position on the beach front and great food served. Dogs allowed and lovely friendly staff. Unfortunately, disappointed that no vegan breakfast available ---too many vegans now to ignore this!!

Isles of Scilly Day Trip
(2 miles)

No visit to Cornwall is complete without experiencing the magical Isles of Scilly. Lying just 28 miles off the Cornish coast, these sand-fringed islands bask in a warmer climate than anywhere else in the UK. Sail along Cornwall’s rugged coastline on Scillonian III from Penzance, or fly Skybus from Land’s End and you will be on the islands in good time for lunch. Spend the day discovering secluded beaches, walk or cycle miles of trails and paths, or island-hop between the five off-islands. Find out why Scilly is famous for enticing its visitors to return again and again.

I have been visiting Land's End since 1969 - the area has been truly spoiled now it has the attractions. It used to be so peaceful with beautiful, natural surroundings - just as nature intended. The attractions have now completely ruined the area which is most disappointing. We have started visiting during the evening time only, when the attractions are closed, to try and see Land's End during it's 'quiet time'. Unfortunately, I doubt we will be visiting again - our family visited in a total of 3 cars and we were charged £6 each to park for one hour!!!!! Woulldn't mind if the car park was in good condition but it's a wreck!!!!

Rather a disappointment. Very commercial.

Visited here to watch Seth Lakeman twice over his 4 concert weekend. We had a fantastic time - both concerts were excellent made all the more amazing by the Minack Theatre and it's beautiful surroundings. The Minack is a fantastic venue for music events, we have been to quite a few concerts there and always had a good time. The Minack staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Parking is excellent, again with very friendly helpful staff. Furthermore, the gardens at the Minack are stunning and are well worth a visit.

AQ wonderful beach with a steep climb down. A very good car park attached to the farm. There are delicious jars of pickles, jam amd cakes available from the pay hut.

Porthcurno Beach
(4 miles)

(2)

Porthcurno is located in the far West of Cornwall and has been described by many as a paradise and it’s not hard to see why. With its soft white sand beaches, turquoise sea which gleams in the summer sun and the high cliffs on either side of the beach providing shelter, it is described as an oasis of stunning natural beauty. On the west side of the beach is the famous Minack Theatre and to either side of the beach you will find coastal paths that provide the most breath-taking views.  Dogs are welcome on the beach expect between 1 May and 30 September when a seasonal dog ban is in place. Parking can be found just behind the beach.

What a lovely beach. Golden/white sands. Beautiful clear waters. On a calm day great for paddle boarding, swimming and paddling. The beach does drop away quickly and gets deep. We have been when it is wavy too but feels safe with the lifeguards there during high season. Parking can get very busy so I suggest you get there early in the day if you want a space closer to the beach, there are some disabled bays. The spaces are small and if you have a big car I suggest you reverse in so it is easier to get out at the end of a busy day on the beach. There are 3 routes down to the beach. From the Minack which is steep and rocky with lovely views. A path from the car park which is a little uneven and down a slope. My mother managed to get her mobility scooter down this and the lovely Lifeguards let her leave it at the Lifeguard station. There are also some steps down to the beach at the Lifeguards hut.

Absolutely wonderful. Try going when it's empty!

April 2022


lovely little cove, but watch out for the Parking rules !!

September 2023


Walked to Lamorna Cove from Castallack - it was a very nice walk on a lovely and sunny Sunday morning. The cove was very quiet and peaceful, not many visitors around. We sat and enjoyed the view and had an ice-cream from the local cafe; the staff in the cafe were so friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

July 2023


Mousehole is a delightful village. Beautiful scenery and walks, with some interesting shops and places to eat and drink. We ate very well at The Mousehole Deli and Kitchen on the seafront, which has an interesting menu, good coffee, and lovely staff. Bought great gifts at the weekly Craft Market too. Parking in Mousehole is quite limited!

November 2023


absolutely lovely fishing village, well worth a walk round, so relaxing having a walk around here !!

September 2023


We loved Mousehole! It has real character and we could walk there from our cottage. We swam there twice and the water was wonderful. We also enjoyed pasties, coffee and cake in the village. We would definitely go back there again.

September 2023


Beautiful, quaint Mousehole, one of our favourite places. Had a lovely stroll around the harbour and village and visited most of the gift shops. Sat for a while in the lovely harbour, so peaceful and quiet.

July 2023


This beach is not dog friendly at any time

August 2022


Amazing beautiful harbour village , clean and friendly. Will visit again

August 2022


Great place to watch the world go by. Not brave enough to join the locals jumping from the harbour walls into the water but looked great fun at high tide.

We had a lovely stay. Very relaxing and less busy than the last few years. For our first week we enjoyed really warm and dry weather..the second week was a bit more moody but did not spoil our time away.


June 2023

Out 13th time at Highcliff and we will be back That says it all! We love the styling and appreciate the quality of the equipment - especially the bedding and the towels


April 2023

This is a lovely property, in a lovely location.


September 2022

Amazing cottage and location, we would love to stay there again!


September 2022

It was fantastic. The place is really nicely thought out with beautiful country views, super light and secure. It was brilliant to be near a few others on the farm but 15 minutes from the beach. It is my favourite part of the world. I would go back whenever I could.


September 2020

Very clean and well equipped house : every thing needed for a week or two stay in this rugged and remote part of west Cornwall. Washer, drier, large-format dishwasher etc. Impressive art, books and other furnishings. Would recommend.


May 2019

What an absolutely fabulous place to stay, we've rented many holidays lets over the years but this is the first property we've stayed in when both my wife and I said, "we could live here". That's how good a property this is.
