Sennen Cove 2 miles. In one of the finest cliff top locations in Cornwall stands Carn Eve, a wonderfully spacious detached seven bedroom holiday home set over 3 floors with private beach access to the beautiful Gwenver Beach which adjoins the iconic Sennen Cove. Situated eight miles from Penzance and four miles along the coast from Lands End this magnificent house offers a family holiday that will never be forgotten. From the moment you arrive along the private lane to the house you will be mesmerised with the amazing uninterrupted sea views where on a clear day even the Isles of Scilly are visible. Entering the house you pass the games room which will prove a hit with the children before coming to the magnificent sitting room. Here the huge windows on three sides give breathtaking views whatever the time of year and whatever the weather. From watching the storms in the winter in front of a roaring log fire to watching the dolphins playing in the bay on long summer days, this really is a superb room. From here a wraparound decked area provides the perfect setting for private sunbathing or alfresco dining. There are seven bedrooms here with various sleeping combinations to suit all and five bathrooms. With a choice of beaches along this world-famous coastline to select from you will be spoilt for choice. Gwenver Beach, reached by a private footpath right below the house is certain to become a favourite, offering some of the best surfing conditions in Cornwall and being difficult for the general public to reach rarely becomes too crowded. A special house in a stunning location to be enjoyed all year round.

We had a great holiday which, however, was nearly spoiled by things which went wrong in the house. At the price charged these surely shouldn't have been happening. Luckily, Jason the caretaker was available to try to rectify as many the problems as he could. We had blocked showers which twice caused water to leak though ceilings near electrics and got things wet in the rooms below the leaks. We had a horrendous outbreak of flies (16 at one point) in a top floor bedroom, especially. It was impossible to sleep there and we had to convert a reception room into a bedroom carrying a foldup bed up and down steep stairs. Hence, we lost one reception room. A very noisy bathroom vent which kept us awake at night when it was windy. A broken curtain pole so the curtain was useless in a bedroom. A broken dining room chair. A very slow oven. These things caused stress, discomfort and difficulty. If only the owner would invest care and attention in these things and solved the problems Carn Eve could be absolutely glorious!

The house is huge, large enough for everyone to have space and clutter to be contained. The decor in the house is a little tired, but it works for kids, pets and beach days. We have had a great holiday, thanks very much.

We also had an issue with people in the neighbouring properties, (which werenât mentioned in the details), thinking the garden was a communal area. Quick call to Jason solved it initially, only for them to come in again. Decoration needed, not enough chairs around a too small table. Shower in master bedroom took a long time to drain , and in the attic en-suite, the basin hot tap was cold, and the shower had a weak flow and held together with zip ties. Certainly not worth £4,500 in peak season. Still loved our holiday but expected much higher standard
