We’ve seen some amazing weather down on the Cove this summer. On Thursday night we sat out late on the beach with the air as still as we’ve ever known it, and the water as warm as we can remember. Obviously prolonged periods of sunshine mean the sea temperature rises and this year we’ve even been bodyboarding without wetsuits and
We remain closed for the time being as per the Government guidelines. We’d like to thank our guests who’ve postponed their stays with us for being so understanding and look forward to welcoming you back later in the year, hopefully. In the meantime, stay safe and warm!
We’ve had some epic storms this winter – Dennis and Ciara certainly made their presence felt for a few days. We did our best to get pics but sometimes it was actually too windy to open the windows. We were certainly very glad we’d done all the roof repairs last year. But there’s nowhere better in Sennen for a spot
A year ago today, we had the phone call that told us we’d finally bought The Loft, although it wasn’t called The Loft back then. We’d rented the apartment for six years, and after six years of imagining what we’d do if we owned it, and after eight months or headaches and hiccups in the buying process, we couldn’t quite
We’ve had a lovely half-term in Sennen this year. October is always one of our favourite months here: the empty beaches, the mellow light, the sea still being warm (fingers crossed…). But we do like it when the weather takes a turn for the worst too. We always wanted The Loft to be somewhere to curl up and stay warm,
October can see some spectacular storms roll in at Sennen. Sometimes it’s just nice to curl up with book and watch the waves on the harbour, but we recently treated ourselves to a visit from local spa therapist, Laura Maddocks, who brought her own luxury treatments to The Loft. Laura has her own therapy table which was really comfortable and
On a wet Tuesday morning, we took ourselves off to LLamalland Cornwall, just outside Truro. Set on Penare Farm, this 140 acre farm is home to a cloud (that’s what you call a herd) of llamas of all different shapes, colours and sizes. The farmer’s passion for llamas was clear and he introduced us to every one of them by
Kynance has been on our to-do list for years, and last Saturday, we finally got there. We’d seen the pictures on Instagram of the gorgeous cove, and while the sun was shining we thought we’d make the trip. It’s always seemed proper Enid Blyton country – rocky steps, secret coves – we just need a mysterious flashing light from a
We love a picnic at The Loft. There’s something about setting out for the day, loaded with food that makes us happy before we’ve even got to the bottom of our blue steps. Last summer, The Times picked their favourite picnic spots in the UK and Sennen Cove rightly popped up. Most days in the summer, like everyone else, we
We love a trip to St Ives at The Loft, and Easter Saturday was particularly glorious. We drove to St Erth railway station where you can park for £2.30 for the day, and the train is just £2 each way if you buy a return – well worth it if you know how narrow the roads are in St Ives
