About this property

Thatched farmhouse with large garden a few minutes' walk from a stunning beach


Esther's Field is a stunning 17th-century granite house with thatched roof set into the hillside above the beautiful white sands of Sennen Cove with fantastic views of the beach and sea from almost every window.

Recently completely refurbished, it has 4 bedrooms (all with large beds and white bedlinen : two superking size beds, two singles and one bunk comprising two singles), 4 bathrooms (3 shower rooms and one with both bath and shower), two sitting rooms (both with wood-burning stoves and TV and DVD) and a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen with Rayburn as well as an induction hob and electric oven. The house feels spacious and relaxing - you will enjoy complete peace and seclusion, while still being within walking distance of everything.
The house sits in an acre of private garden with a large central lawn, a gated wildflower meadow, an upper garden, a hidden garden and many little paths and areas to explore. You will find many exotic plants and a summer house full of garden furniture: tables, chairs, benches and steamer chairs so you can relax in every part of the garden. You can walk down to the beautiful white sands of the cove (lovely little shops and restaurants) in about 8 minutes: fabulous for swimmers and surfers too. The house also sits a minute from the coastal path so you can walk straight out of the house onto the breathtaking coastal paths and enjoy the wonderful coastal walks around Land's End and its many coves and beaches and spot some amazing birds, plants and animals. Esther's Field is beautiful in the spring and summer, and a cosy getaway in the winter months too with wood-fires and books to enjoy.


Land's End: The famous Land's End, the most westerly point of Great Britain, is under a mile away. You can see the well-known Longships Lighthouse and the last few outcrops of rock that stretch out in the sea towards the Scilly Isles from the beach in Sennen Cove. A walk along the coastal path from Sennen takes you to Land's End, and to many other beautiful little beaches around this headland.

Nearby towns: St Just, a charming little town with several pubs and shops, is a few miles away. The larger town of Penzance, with its rail link to London, is 8 miles away. Penzance has many fine old buildings, lots of antique shops and art galleries and a whole host of shops. From here you can also take the boat or helicopter to the Scilly Isles. About 40 minutes away by car is St Ives with its famous Tate Art Gallery.

Please note: Esther's Field rental prices include VAT charged at the prevailing rate.

Traumhafter Urlaub
Dieses wunderschöne Cottage können wir nur in den höchsten Tönen loben. Es ist wunderschön, perfekt ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Und der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. Egal ob der Kaffee am Morgen oder der Aperitif am Abend ist mit diesem Ausblick ein absolutes Highlight. Wir (5 Erwachsene und 3 Teenager) haben den Urlaub wahnsinnig genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Die Kommunikation mit Jules war hervorragend und es wurden alle Wünsche erfüllt. Wir können diese Unterkunft bestens empfehlen.

Beeinduckendes Haus trohnend über Sennen
Es war sehr toll! Das Haus war riesig und renoviert. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt!! Wir konnten kochen, waschen, trocknen, Feuer machen, in den Garten sitzen,... Das Haus hat sehr viel Charme und ist auch schon sehr alt und hat gewiss viele spannende Geschichten zu erzählen. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und alles wurde stilgetreu genoviert. Theoretisch hat das Haus eine der tollsten Aussichten die man sich vorstellen kann. Nur leider sah man diese im Haus nicht wirklich, nur wenn man sich direkt ans Fenster lehnte. Denn die sind sehr klein und sitzen hoch. Das Haus ist eher rustikal mit dem alten knarzenden Dielenboden und hellhörig da wohl die Geschossen nur ein Dielenboden trennt, erwas feucht. Aber wir waren nur mit 3 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern im Haus, das ging dann :-) super war der extra Wohntrakt den unser Freund bewohnte, dann hatte er etwas Privatsphäre. Und der Treffpunkt in der Mitte war die Küche. Der extra Wohntrakt hatte eine eigene Eingangstüre, Bad, Klo und Schlafzimmer mit super Ausblick ind ein Dachfenster über dem Bett wo man die Sterne beobachten konnte. Er hatte auch als einziges bodentiefe Fenster für vollen Ausblick. Netlix oder viel TV Sender gab es nicht, aber dafür eine interessante Büchersammlung :-) auf jeden Fall alles insgesamt eine tolle Erfahrung!

Beautiful house with amazing view
We had a wonderful stay at Esthers field. Driving up the drive upto the beautiful thatched farmhouse was a wow! Once out of the car, the view over Sennen cove was even more wow. The house is beautiful with a lot of character which the In-laws loved! The rooms are very spacious & cosy, the beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. Shame we couldnt have spent more time in the beautiful gardens due to the very wincy /wet weather! Would highly recommend this as your next stay at sennen cove. Thank you Jules x

Coastal idyll
We have stayed at Esther’s Field a number of times now. The gardens are beautiful and spacious and our boys love exploring there. It’s a short (though steep) stroll down to the beach and the pictures, stunning as they are, don’t do it justice. And what a pleasure to meet Jules in person, who was welcoming and considerate. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

An unforgettable holiday
Esther’s Field is in a perfect location for experiencing the magnificence of Sennen Cove. It was a joy to wake up each morning to hear - and see the sea, and to sit in the sun in the garden. We were very lucky with the weather! The house, especially the kitchen and sitting/dining room are well equipped with ample space for eating together and relaxing in the evening after a long day on the beach or walking on the cliffs.

Fantastic location and very perfect house
This thatched cottage is so pretty! The main reason is that the location is very good, go to the attractions and to the beach seem to be a step away. In addition, the front and back of the house are full of flowers, and you can watch the sea both inside and outside the house, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The host is very nice! Before leaving, she gave us a letter to take care of everyone. When we got there, we received a Welcome bag, which was prepared with milk, coffee, tea bags, detergent, soap, and was very warm and considerate. We drove nearly 5 hours to arrive, Everyone is tired, but beautiful, stylish, and the wonderful house facing the sea on three sides is our warm home From this house. It takes 22 minutes walk to the Lands End (6 minutes by car). After dinner, we go there to watch the sunset. It seems to be a fairyland on earth. It only takes 13 minutes drive to the Minack Theatre ,The garden and sea view in the theater are very exciting. My son and his wife went to watch a comedy in the evening and they laughed happily and said they will never forget it! We went to the beach in Sennen to watch the sunset, it was very beautiful, and from the path up the mountain go back house ,Suddenly, a full moon rose in front of us, light up the way home .we went to the garden to watch the moon, which made us excited every day. Chasing the sun, chasing the moon and falling asleep. The facilities in the room are very modern, such as TV, induction cooker, oven…, we can cook. There is also wild celery in the garden, we make a very delicious Chinese meal every day, everyone has a good time 。 A week passed quickly, the seven of us also brought a dog and a rabbit, and everyone was very happy. Also visited many exciting attractions nearby. This is my second time to Cornwall, but it's better than the past, and the flowers are more and more, the mountains are full of flowers. Thank you Esther’s Field for allowing us to see and explore up close. I will introduce Esther's Field to all my friends and I will go back again . (From Birmingham,Hong)

Half term break
We have just returned after an amazing weeks stay. The house was superb and had everything you could need. The views from the house were spectacular and we were blessed with amazing weather. The house is an easy walk away from Lands End and we walked to the beach every day. We will definitely look to return in the future.

Esther’s Field
Esther’s Field is a beautiful cottage, looking over Sennen Cove, with lovely walks along the coastal path from the door. ( We used the iWalk Cornwall app which was a perfect for finding the right walk for us. ) The cottage is well equipped and the beds were extremely comfortable, particularly the downstairs room which has french doors with a view over the cove. At the top end of prices for a weeks stay, but the quality and location of the cottage justifies the high price.
