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’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
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
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
Back to Surf School… We’d been coming to Sennen for four years and I was ten years old when I first tried surfing. We’d seen Smart Surf School and they’d always been friendly and given us a wave as we walked past, so we decided to book lessons for October half-term. First we met Sam and he gave us a
