A warm welcome awaits you at Pinbren, a very special and peaceful home for eight guests, in the coastal village of Sennen. As the day unfolds, open the glazed doors in the upstairs sitting room, to let the harmonious, sweet sound of birdsong fill the air. Flaunting high ceilings and expansive windows, Pinbren (meaning pine tree in Cornish), has a sense of boundless space. On those long, hot summer days, the cool breeze trickles through the open doors, but when the weather turns cooler, the underfloor heating throughout, ensures you can be comfortably footloose and fancy-free. With two of the bedrooms, a bathroom and the open plan living area downstairs, Pinbren is a perfect choice for those who find stairs a little challenging. Upstairs you'll find an en suite super king bedroom, twin bedroom, a third bathroom and a further spacious sitting room with a games table providing hours of entertainment for children and adults alike. The table converts for games of pool, air hockey and table tennis too, so let the games begin!
Set off for a ramble on the South West Coast Path, or explore Land's End, Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre, just a short drive away. The surfer's paradise and golden sand awaits at Sennen Cove and Gwenver Beach, just a fifteen minute walk, or a two minute drive away. Spend hours sunbathing or building sandcastles with the little ones and as Pinbren welcomes dogs too, when the times allow, let the furry members of the family enjoy frolicking on the beach and in the sea. At the end of a busy day, head home to refresh and soak in the bubbles. Pinbren is the perfect choice to make lasting, precious memories for many years to come.

Sennen is the most westerly parish in the UK, nestled between Cape Cornwall and Land's End. Part of the village; the mediaeval church of St. Sennen with its low granite tower, the school, and the First & Last Inn are at the top of the cliff; with some older cottages 300 feet below by the quay, along with the Old Success, a seventeenth-century inn.
Sennen Cove is still a fishing village and home of Sennen Lifeboat. Established in 1853, The Royal National Lifeboat Institution`s Sennen Cove Station is situated just one mile northeast of Land’s End.
If you want to spot a bit of wildlife during your holiday in Sennen, basking sharks and dolphins are a common sight off the coast of Sennen. Join our friends in the water and head to Sennen Cove which is renowned for its great surf and friendly atmosphere. Or take a drive to Gwenver Beach, less than a mile from Sennen Cove and watch the sunset - a truly spectacular sight. Read more about Sennen holidays and Gwenver beach on our blog post about Sandy beaches in West Cornwall.

Sennen is a prime location for surfing in Cornwall.

With two surf schools based at Sennen you'll be in good hands when it comes to learning the ropes.
Cornwall is full to the coastal corners of beautiful places to stay so we've rounded up 10 of our favourites to help you find the right spot for you.
Take a walk along the coast from Land's End to the beautiful and hidden Nanjizel beach; one of Cornwall's most spectacular beaches. Porthcurno is also only a short drive away with its beautiful beaches and the breathtaking Minack Theatre, showing regular outdoor performances throughout the summer months.
South from Sennen Cove you can walk the coastal path to Land’s End. Just over a mile as the chough flies, but all along the south-west coastal path you must allow for the uphill stretches and twisty bits of headland which make the walks longer.
Whitesand Bay, white as the name suggests, stretches northwards from Sennen Cove to Gwynver beach. Gwynver is accessible from Whitesand at low tide; and down steep steps from Trevedra Cliff at high tide. On New Year’s Day it’s become a bit of a tradition for hardy folk to jump into the Whitesand waves for a swim. The south-west coastal footpath runs along Whitesand behind the dunes. No dogs are allowed on the beach between 15th May and the 30th September, between 10am and 6pm.
Although it feels tucked away in the far west, Sennen self catering holidays are perfect for exploring West Penwith.

Roundhouse & Capstan Gallery
A unique circular gallery and converted netloft. It was originally used for housing a winch to haul boats up from the beach. Visit www.round-house.co.uk for more info.
Longships Lighthouse
The iconic Longships Lighthouse sits on Carn Bras, the biggest in a ribbon of jagged rocks just offshore. It appears curiously tall when seen from the road approaching Land's End. Just for a moment Longships seems to have landed at the holiday complex but it's all an illusion of topography. The galleon and helicopter might be set in cement in Land’s End square but the lighthouse is exactly where it should be, a mile off shore.
Land’s End:
Sennen Church is about a mile from the Land’s End Visitor Centre, where you can find Land’s End Hotel & restaurant, First & Last House, shops, cafe, exhibitions. It is famed for the signpost, at which you can have your photograph taken as one arm says Land’ End and the other your home town. There are weekly firework displays, special events and family entertainment. The best approach to the complex is via the coastal path, the sea views are magnificent. On an overcast day the visitor centre has much to occupy children.
Apple Tree Café, Trevescan
When self catering in Sennen, a place not to be missed is The Apple Tree Café at Trevescan, a left turn just before Land’s End. Home of Nick’s delicious home-made bread. It’s family friendly, amazing cakes, tea garden. A perfect place to meet before walking or after walking or probably before and after.
From the Apple Tree Cafe, you can walk into Land’s End; you can walk across the fields to the coastal path. All you need is the O/S Pathfinder or O/S Explorer 7 (Land’s End, Penzance and St Ives). If you can find one, get a copy of a book called ‘West of HayleRiver’ by Gerald and Sylvia Priestland. It is brim-full of walks, pictures and information about places and legends across the whole of West Penwith.
Farmers' Market
Every Tuesday, Sennen holds its very own farmers' market, perfect for stocking up on local produce when staying in a self catering cottage. Find out more on our blog: The Best Farmers’ Markets in West Cornwall
