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 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
It’s certainly not been the 2020 we’d all hoped for. Since we shut our doors in March, we’ve been so grateful to all our guests who’ve moved and delayed their visits to our holiday cottage in Sennen following the outbreak of Coronavirus. We thank all of you for your patience and understanding, and we promise your trip to stay with
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
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’re never short of places to eat in Cornwall, but we took a trip last week to The Shore at Penzance. Tucked on the corner of Alverton Street, it’s run by chef Bruce Rennie who’s worked in some of the UK’s top restaurants. All the food is ethically sourced, and being so close to Newlyn means Bruce gets top pics
