Kensa

We love Kensa.

Well equipped, love the hot tub! Comfortable.

A fully equipped home from home, with the bonus of a hot tub in the garden.

It's in a fairly central location so was easy to plan days out, etc. If we venture down to Cornwall again would definitely try to book Kensa again.

We had a great week at Kensa.

The house has everything you need for a very relaxing holiday. The hot tub is a bonus but the weather was so hot we turned it to be cooler. The location is very convenient for exploring Cornwall, the coast is only 30 mins away and even the far west was only an hour away.

Had a lovely stay at Kensa, the property was ideally located only a short car journey to beautiful beaches.

The beds are really comfortable

The owners are very helpful, liked the welcome email with all the information prior to arrival.

The road Kensa is on is used as a rat run including lorries and there is a stable opposite, to be aware for any dog owners, Lovely treats for dog and owners, we really appreciated the milk, so we could have coffee on arrival. The property is lovely and our old dog loved the underfloor heating. The bath could do with a grab handle for those less mobile, For dog owners the property is of a high standard gone are the days of old, uncomfortable, damp properties. With the wonderful jacuzzi as well, great value.

Comfortable and well equipped house.

Ideally placed for the beaches of the rugged north coast and the south coast including Falmouth. The beach and restaurant recommendations we tried were just as described.

Lots of good things to make the stay here comfortable and relaxing.

Good kitchen equipment and comfortable beds. Things are starting to need maintenance though. I won't pick out on here but happy to let the owner know if they would like. Happy to return as we got a reasonable last minute deal.

4 Adults and 1 Dog stayed at Kensa In January 2026.

The accomodation was booked at short notice after our original booking at a different property was cancelled due to recent storm damage. Kensa was amazing and the owners made us feel welcome with a pre-arrival e-mail and welcoming goodies for humans and dog. The property was extremely clean, tidy and modern. We had everything we needed for our stay and the hot tub was an added bonus. I would recommend Kensa to groups of up to 4 people with or without dogs. Thank you!

Just back from a cracking Christmas stay at Kensa Holiday Cottage and overall we were very happy Emit (and dogs

We love Kensa.

It's very well equipped, it's in a peaceful location but mostly we love the hot tub.

We have stayed in quite a few holiday homes in Cornwall as we visit family all times of the year, but this one is definitely up there in the top 3!

The accommodation is great, located in a quiet village, but with easy access to major road connections to get anywhere you like. We found Kensa very relaxing and has every kitchen utensil you can think of! The beds were comfortable for a good nights sleep too! The owners have definitely done their homework and thought of everything, it felt like home from home. They even left blankets, throws and treats for the dogs. Just a shame we didn’t get time to use the hot tub… maybe next time!

We've had some lovely accommodation over the years and this one is up there with the best of them.

The Property is clean and comfortable and the added extra of a hot tub is fantastic. It's excellently located to explore Cornwall and hopefully we'll be back one day.

Kensa had everything that we needed for our holiday.

The property is clean, modern and well-equipped. It is ideally placed for our needs including proximity to the north coast beaches at Portreath and Porthtowan for morning dog walks. Our dogs loved having the space to move around. We will be booking again.

Very nice place to stay.

....hot tub was a lovely touch after driving/walking all day.....

We loved it.

Well equipped, comfortable, quiet. We've booked again for December and are already looking forward to the hot tub. The welcome hamper was so welcoming. The bungalow was very clean.

Lovely property, exceeded expectations.

Clean with great facilities. Dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine. Great location to explore Cornwall. Really enjoyed our stay! Dog friendly

We had a lovely stay at Kensa.

We were made to feel welcome on arrival with a welcome basket and dog treats. The property was well equipped with everything we needed. A great base for exploring our favourite parts of Cornwall. The bed in the garden room is dipping so may need some attention at some point. But it was a comfortable stay overall. Hot tub was a lovely bonus. Thank you.

Clean and tidy , equipped with everything needed , hot tub a bonus , well within reach to visit the West Country , beaches not to far away ,

Third and definitely NOT last stay at Kensa.

Such a wonderful charming property. It's always cleaned to such a high standard and the facilities and amenities are amazingly thoughtful. It's perfect for our toddler too as we don't have to worry about stairs with it being a single story property. Really is a special little place. The owners really do go above and beyond.

So pleased we found this wonderful, comfortable holiday home.

Everything was perfect, all the details, clean and tidy, great quality and lovely hot tub too. Thank you so much.

Our 3rd stay and everytime we have stayed every room is spotless, garden all clear and clean and the hottub is blissful.

Can not fault this cottage at all. Perfect location to visit all the beaches of Cornwall with most places being a little 30 mins drive away. Our Dogs absolutely love coming here just as much as us. Thank you Jo-jo for always having the cottage spotless x

Excellent accommodation & exceeded expectations, everything provided for & beautifully presented, great location to access all the great Beaches, will definitely recommend to everyone as we wanted a special place to stay with a hot tub & could take our dogs for my 50th birthday & Kensa was perfect!

We had a wonderful week at Kensa.

The house is beautiful and spotless with lovely doggy and human treats on our arrival. Kensa is in a great position in cornwall giving us a good base to visit everything we wanted to see. The hot tub was lovely in a great enclosed area so the dogs were safe to potter around freely. Kensa was very well equipped, we had everything we needed for the week. Would absolutely recommend.

Our 2nd stay ,Everything you need is here

The cottage is probably the best equipped I've ever stayed in.

The photos on the walls all have post codes attached so you know were they are which is a great idea to visit.the place was spotless on arrival hot tub was clean great place to stay . Could not fault it if I tried 10 out of 10 on everything. Thanks Mr W ANDERSON.

Lovely little property, very comfortable and well equipped, great for tge 3 of us and our 2 labradors.

This lovely cottage is a great location for a holiday.

It was very clean and it felt like home . Plenty of room . Had all the right a equipment that you need on holiday. Would highly recommend. The hot tub was fantastic.

Lovely comfortable bungalow spotlessly clean and everything you need loved the decoration and the Hot tub was a great bonus Very centrally placed we visited both south and North Cornwall would definitely book again when coming back

What a lovely little place very comfortable like home from home ideal base for exploring Cornwall everything you need is here

Had a wonderful stay at Kensa.

The house is beautiful, with everything you need for however long you're staying for (so leave your hairdryer and iron at home lol). Plus, the hot tub is amazing! Location is rural, but well placed and an equal distance from everywhere we wanted to visit. There is a Premier shop a short walk away, which was handy. To the owners: you have a beautiful house and we are insanely jealous of you lol. If we ever come back to Cornwall (and we will at some point) we will choose Kensa once again. Thank you.

It was a wonderful stay, every little detail was considered and catered for.

It’s in a great condition and you can tell us very well maintained. The property was a fantastic location for touring Cornwall, you can get everywhere within 30-40 minutes, and if you’re not sure what to do the guide has some great suggestions. The welcome basket is a really lovely touch and the hot tub was the cherry on the cake, was great to relax in after fun days out and my 6 yr old thought it was the best thing in life.

Brilliant property.

Clean, spacious and well equipped. Information booklet was really helpful. I loved having a hoover to clean up sand we brought back home. Our son loved the hot tub. We have visited before and I'm sure we will book again. Thanks for having us.

Great cottage with everything that you would need in a great location with some great walks on the doorstep

Home from home, very clean and tidy spacious ,comfy sofa.

Loved the hot tub. Only issue we had was we had no hot water for a night and back patio needs tlc. Would book again and recommend this property to anyone.

Lovely base to explore cornwall.

Great hot tub!

Our second trip to Kensa did not disappoint.

Even more facilities included this trip. Lovely and clean, light and airy. We came last year with our doggo and was expecting our first child and was lucky enough to return, this year, with our 8-month-old son for his first holiday. We love it so much we want to make it our annual trip to Cornwall. We recommend it to anyone looking to stay in and our parents have now booked in for October. Already looking forward to returning next year.

I have to say this place was fabulous, the owners thought of everything.

It was perfect, welcoming, completely dog friendly and all perfectly as described. We loved the comfy beds and the hot tub most of all. The property was super clean to top it all, On arrival we were given scones, clotted cream and jam, plus a bottle of wine, and not forgetting the dogs, there were treats for them too. This is the best cottage we’ve ever booked.

The best cottage we have stayed at.

From the moment we stepped in it was perfect. Cozy, homely, warm and has everything you could want at home. The hot tub was a blissful way to relax after all the walking days. There are some beautiful beaches only 20 minutes away and an amazing Chinese in the village. It's a great place to stay and we have already booked our return!

We had amazing holiday at Kensa.

Property was warm on arrival. Owner had given us Easter eggs, coffee and milk, lovely wine and even treats for our dog. Property was immaculately clean, Modern and had everything that you may wish for. Personal touches were really lovely. We loved all the picture canvases of the local places with post codes on the wall. Welcome folder was very informative. Jacuzzi was amazing and clean. It is emptied and cleaned between every bookings. If cleanliness is important for you, then this is the place! Property was spotless! Reading the previous reviews, everything that had been mentioned by previous quest had been rectified. I.e. there now is a laundry aerial. You really don't need to take any household items with you. These is toilet and kitchen paper, dishwasher /laundry tablets, cleaning liquids, and even towels for the muddy paws. We will defenately return.

Fantastic property in a central location to visit all corners of Cornwall.

The property was lovely and also clean throughout.

Jacuzzi was perfect and nice to have. Good location for venturing out and about. Only one gripe and that was the ground source heating facilities. We went in January during the extremely wet period so always returned home soaked, there was no means of drying clothes or shoes/trainers or swimwear after using the Jacuzzi etc.

Kensa is a lovely property and the owners' little touches are wonderful.

The welcome pack of wine, mince pies and chocolates went down a treat, as did the fact that they had decorated Kensa for Christmas including a tree Its ideal for dogs and towels and treats are provided for them as well. Everything is provided re towels and linen but would suggest that bring own towels for hot tub be added in description as a note ask that the white towels not be used for hot tub. Underfloor heating took a while to get use to and at times it felt cold The cooker is also a little temperamental especially if you put the wrong pan on, it doesn't recognise the weight and turns itself off. Cornwalls weather was at its wettest so due to the lack of a clothes horse it was hard to get items dry. The hot tub though was fabulous and was used daily in all weathers We would recommend Kensa to others because over all it was one of the best we have stayed in.

This is a lovely property very clean and well maintained, loved how homely it felt.

The bed was so comfy slept really well, there was everything there that you could possibly need. My only criticism would be the electric hob, it was a nightmare took ages to come on so not sure if it is faulty, only other was the TV we couldn't get the normal TV with BBC ITV etc so not sure if it was us or if it wasnt available. These are the two things that would deter me from staying again, other than that it was lovely

Property was very clean and decorated beautifully.

The bed was too soft and pillows too hard (for our liking) so didn’t get much sleep during our stay. Great location to visit places in area. Property did have a bit of a doggy smell about it, especially once returning from day out and was warm inside. Hot tub was wonderful

Kensa was ideally located for exploring the sights of Cornwall.

Quiet location and very private. Had everything you could possibly need or want. Beautifully decorated and maintained. Very well thought out. Bed extremely comfy. A special welcome basket of scones and jam and cream, wine and milk, which were delicious. The hot tub was just perfect after a long day exploring to relax in. Seating areas front and back were lovely to sit out with a cuppa in the sunshine. It was well equiped with all kitchen utensils,like a home from home. Thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay

When arrived we could not find the patio door keys once found everything was easier.

My husband and I are a couple of dinosaurs when it comes to technology so when on description it said smart tv we thought we would get freeview (there’s no aerial) the only thing you can get is on app’s Netflix etc. if you bring you own logins etc (whatever they are). Also it would be handy if instructions booklets on how to work kitchen appliances ie microwave and induction hob. The Kensa was beautiful clean and is very central to all areas the bungalow Is on a corner plot and you have to be very careful when driving in and out. The paintings around the bungalow where very informative. If you are thinking of going to St Ives I would leave very early as parking there is terrible it’s also very hilly if you have any mobility problems. All In all we had a good stay in Cornwall but won’t be returning as it’s long drive from Wales.

Outstanding Holiday Cottage which is very clean and beautifully decorated with informative pictures around the property to various must see locations and has everything you would need to make your stay perfect.

The Cottages location in Carharrack is ideal as it's only short drives to all Cornwalls tourist and hidden gems on the north and south coast also there are major supermarkets and retail outlets very close just incase you've forgotten to bring something or need to stock up.

We had a fantastic week spent in Kensa!

It really is a gem! The property has everything you could want and more! From super comfy beds to everything you need in the kitchen to cook with, the owners have thought of everything. The hot tub was a win too! Fantastic base to explore Cornwall from!

Nice place you need good weather to enjoy

Property is lovely and fantastic location!

Never been to a property before which had so many extras you’ve pretty much thought of everything! I’d recommend the accommodation to anyone - your pretty much 30 minutes at the most from all the must sees of cornwall.

Kensa is such a lovely place , with easy reach of facilities and amenities.

The property is well equipped . We had such a lovely stay and we definitely will be returning . For now Kensa has our heart ❤️

We had a really lovely time at Kensa.

The amenities are second to none and has a really homely feel about it. The location is amazing and easy to get to various places and beaches in Cornwall. 5 stars and will definitely be recommending it to other people too! Cannot fault it at all.

Beautiful property, well situated within access to lots of areas of interest.

Very comfortable and clean, extremely dof friendly. Will 1000% be returning
