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
It’s been lovely this year to welcome back guests to The Loft after the last few years’ uncertainty. Having replaced our deck last year with new cedar wood and a hurricane-proof glass, this year we were able to concentrate on getting the kitchen just how we want it, right down to the new Nespresso machine. So far, there’s been
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 been delighted to welcome guests back to The Loft this summer. There’s been lots of stories in the press about how packed the Cornish beaches have been – and that clearly has been true in some places, judging by some of the pictures in the press – but we’ve found plenty of places where we had space and were
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
We’re so lucky to have the beautiful landscape of Mayon Cliff just moments from our front door. It’s looked after by the National Trust and the in the last few years they’ve refurbished the look-out, so there’s informational about the local area, what wildlife and sealife has spotted that week, and there’s a little shop inside too. It’s a good
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
