On a quiet lane leading only to the cliffs, they have been very tastefully converted from a spacious Victorian house and are stunningly set in several acres of shared natural grounds; home to a wonderful variety of wildlife which can easily be seen from the steep, private beach path and the cottages themselves. Free beach gear is available to borrow (surfboards, buckets and spades, windbreaks, plus some wetsuits) and there is private storage for visitors’ own equipment. The beach at Whitesand is magnificent and offers a splendid mile of sand which has been awarded Blue Flag status and is excellent for surfing (lifeguards operate throughout the summer). There is a ban on dogs from 1st May to 30th September but dogs are permitted year round on nearby Gwenver Beach, the next beach along the coast path. Sennen Cove, ½ mile, is a picturesque little fishing village looking out over the bay. It offers shops, pub, restaurants, even a lifeboat station, all within walking distance. There are some beautiful walks along the coast towards Cape Cornwall in one direction, and beyond Land’s End in the other.
The famous outdoor Minack Theatre is only 3 miles away and Penzance, 7 miles, boasts a mainline station, shops, inns, swimming-pool, sailing and tennis. There is a golf course at St Just, 4 miles, and facilities for squash and badminton are available locally. Picturesque St Ives (a renowned haunt of artists) is 15 miles away along the spectacular north coast. The Carn Towan cottages are perfectly positioned for enjoying a Cornish holiday – and are cosily heated throughout, making them ideal for all-year-round breaks. Shops ½ mile.

The cottage was very tired. Toilet seats didn’t fit, toilet leaked with a towel catching the water, cupboards need a scrub and de humidifiers . Pans were old and grubby . Wallpaper coming away from main bed room wall due to damp and the crack in the ceiling began to resoerarceven though it had obviously just been painted over. The beds were great, the towels fluffy , the appliances worked but were grubby ; Kevin the caretaker put a hand grip in the over bath shower for us when we asked, This is a 2-3 star friendly place, definitely not4 star . Needs an inspection

Just come back from a fabulous holiday at Sevenstones. I love the setting, views and sunsets are amazing, with an easy walk back from the pub in Sennen. The house is comfy, and main bed was comfortable, slept very well. It’s not overly modern, but perfect for a weeks holiday. Delicious welcome scones, clotted cream, bottle of wine was very much appreciated!

A lovely holiday cottage full of character and charm without being over-modernised. It has a wonderfully authentic feel and a beautiful elevated view over St Ives. We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay, combined a bit of surfing and climbing in. You wont be disappointed - unles youre looking for shiny kitchen gadgets and granite wet rooms...but thats not really the point is it?
