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
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

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.

It’s a good
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
