    "A very attractive flat with unique furnishings, fabrics and art."

    A very well equipped kitchen and excellent bathroom. The location is simply splendid. To watch the Atlantic through the windows is incredible. A great base from which to visit everything from Penzance to St Ives. The ascent from.the harbour carpark is for fit people only as is the descent/ascent from the back. To use either access whilst carrying luggage needs to be carefully thought about in advance.

    "The accommodation itself has the best views of the ocean and beach, you can sit and watch the stars at night."

    As all reviews have said not for anyone who has trouble walking as the steps up to the road or down to the harbour are challenging. The unit had everything, we did ask Sykes if there was a cafetière and a hairdryer which they said no but when we arrived there was so extra heavy items we had to pack. The only downside was there is no outdoor space so we would next time pay more for one of the many places with outdoor seating and the entrance walkway covered in people’s clothes drying and not just wet suits but their washing like underwear also flats inside the building some had all their rubbish outside everyday

    Thank you for the review. We will raise the issue of rubbish left in the corridor and washing on the railings at our next owners meeting. You will appreciate it's often difficult to tell others how to behave! Pleased to hear you enjoyed the views. Property Owner

    "This is a beautiful well equipped flat… with the best view in England."

    What a scene to sit and eat breakfast to. You have to be fit to scale the steps to the accommodation, but it is more than worth the effort. We have booked again next year for 2 weeks - I think that says it all!

    Rebecca, thank you very much for the review. We agree, it is the best view in England! Also thanks for booking again for next summer. Kind regards Peter and Sally Property Owner

    "Lovely flat."

    Well equipped. Stunning views. I wouldn’t recommend going out of season as the flat was very cold. The heating provided some warmth, but I think because we were the only people in the block there was no heat from surrounding properties. Main cold was coming from the floor. Would absolutely return in the summer months though.

    "A comfortable and clean apartment which had everything we needed for a fabulous week in Sennen Cove."

    It has fantastic views over the bay, the beach is a short stroll away along the front, and it is conveniently just off the coastal path so is a great base for walking.

    "We had such a lovely time!"

    The flat was perfect and being creative practitioners, we loved the decor and atmosphere. A home from home. The cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch too...although it did set a precedence, cant even begin to calculate how many more we devoured during our stay! :D That view must be one of the best in Sennen and we spent many a happy hour sat in the bay window. Thanks for everything - It's a 10/10 from us xx

    "A lovely flat in a stunning location which has everything you would need."

    The only downside are the very steep steps to access the property and which could be very difficult for some people, although these are well flagged on the listing.

    "The flat had stunning views, contemporary and clean."

    We loved it, but I would suggest that people need to be fairly fit. 79 steps, and small narrow back path. It was a long way to carry food and cases. But the view well worth it, how ever we struggled.

    "Thoroughly enjoyed my short solo break recently."

    Wonderful to be able to watch the storm roll in over harbour wall and walk the path for a few days. Beautifully restored accommodation and very warm and comfortable. Loved the artwork and dim lighting. Everything was beautifully clean. Thank you, I feel restored.

    "What a lovely flat and setting."

    Very comfortable. Beautifully furnished with great facilities thank you. Great to see photos of the renovation and there are some lovely artworks in there. We were lucky with the parking in the residents area but others not so lucky would probably need to pay for parking which was not an insignificant cost. As indicated, there is no easy way to get to the flat so a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required. Ideal for walking the coast path and a very reasonable bus service. Loved the Old Success Inn which we thought had great food.

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    "The property is lovely, well decorated with everything required for a great holiday."

    The only drawbacks are the access is extremely steep from above or below and getting the luggage and shopping in is a struggle, also I found the sofa uncomfortable. The art and furnishings are wonderful and the view spectacular. There is so much more equipment in the apartment than is listed on the site, it is well worth a stay.
