If you’re looking for a walker’s paradise to explore and to be off the beaten track then the comfort of this wonderful home is the perfect spot to do so. This part of West Cornwall showcases some of the most magnificent sunsets, and you can experience these from the comfort of aptly named Sunset Cottage.

For surfers, hop in the car and you can be down on Sennen or Gwenver beaches, both a short drive away. You won’t be disappointed by the stretch of golden sands, dunes and crystal-clear water and popular surf break.
At the end of a day of beaching, head to one of the local pubs: The North Inn or The Queens Arms are both lovely for a sundowner in the garden or good pub grub.
