“A great location with superb views and easy access to Gwynver beach which is dog friendly.”

The Lookout was warm and comfortable. The wide bed was not uncomfortable but needs a new mattress. The shoe rack should be placed in the entrance porch and a chest of drawers put in its place. The electric shower could do with updating. A lot of water is wasted before it runs hot. We had a problem with the balcony door which Jason the caretaker sorted out straight away. Would definitely book this apartment again and would hope the owner will take account of the points made in this feedback.

“We really loved The Lookout, it is a lovely property in a great location.”

The views are amazing. However just a couple of things the mattress is so uncomfortable, it definitely needs replacing. The property is dated but everything works well. Perhaps a better shower would help but otherwise all was good.
Mr Bunn July 2019

“Please note the extremely low bed not good if you have back problems, mattress needs attention!”

, carpets seen better days, very dodgy cold tap in bathroom, complicated tv workings, and the route to the beach be very aware of tough terrain!

“More isolated than we expected otherwise everything god x”
Mr Clarkson March 2019

“Perfect views and so peacful and relaxing.”

We didn't want to leave.
Mr Urquhart February 2019

“First discovered The Lookout 15/20 years ago, with the previous owner.”

Would highly recommend it, except if I do that it could make it more difficult to book there in future! Jason and the crew were most helpful. I don't mind if you only publish the above as feedback. The following points are only small, but could be helpful for future customers stays. Make another key, and let it be known it's available, especially when there are four staying. Some may want to walk, others drive elsewhere. Pans were a bit neat for four, and the frying pan has seen better days. Couldn't find a potato peeler, and the tin opener left ragged edges. It worked, but someone could get a nasty cut from it. Please don't take the last paragraph as criticism. If you're not told about them, you can't rectify things! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and as said earlier would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. Indeed have already informed friends and neighbours about it. I've given permission for you to publish my feedback, but there is a caveat. I don't wish my name to be published. I'll go along with "Bill Plymouth,"at a push, but no further. Thanks. Bill

“Great location.”

Fabulous views
Mr Waite November 2018

“Extremely nice apartment, amazing views, eating breakfast overlooking Sennen bay amazing.”

Ideal for our dogs they loved the freedom on the field behind the apartment and went mad on the beaches. Very well positioned for visits like St Ives, lovely place and the dramatic Lands end. Only small criticism could do with the bed being a bit higher and could do with a new mattress.
Mrs Watkins October 2018

“Wonderful views.”

.....& a spectacular sunset viewed from the balcony. The caretaker is friendly & helpful. We hope to visit again.
Mr Cooke October 2018

“The apartment had fantastic sea views and a great position for walking the coast path, which is what attracted us to it.”

However the interior furnishings left a little to be desired e.g. the dining chairs were very flimsy and too low for comfort at the table and there was no wardrobe or hanging space for clothes apart from in the hallway. There was no chest of drawers or similar, only small bedside tables. We therefore had to leave most of our clothes in suitcases for the week. The night storage heater in the bedroom did not work and that room was very chilly. The shower head height could not be adjusted as the bracket was broken. The shaver socket / light above the bathroom sink didn't work either. We also thought that the apartment was only really suitable for two people due to the lack of facilities and space but is advertised as sleeping four.
Mr Aillud October 2018

“We had a great stay and would recommend to anyone.”

The place is very well maintained and Jason was very helpful. Thank you!
Miss Thomas September 2018

“We had a fabulous stay at the look out.”

We where welcomed by the caretaker Jason and shown round. It was clean and tidy and had out this world views.i highly recommend it and highly recommend Sykes cottages
Mr Hayward September 2018

“We thought the location was excellent.”

The apartment though is in some need of updating in furnishing and especially the Kitchen & Bathroom. In particular the kitchen utensils and the ceramic ware needs replacing. Personally I would replace the whole Kitchen, but maybe I am biased as I run a Kitchen refurbishment company. On the whole an excellent position but could be improved internally. Jason the caretaker was welcoming enough & very helpful but could maybe interact a little more to check everything is ok. We understand the interaction is not welcomed by some but a little is generally appreciated.

We have been to this group of cottages flats etc before We have had a fabulous time 100% Will be going back Very impressed with revamp
Mrs Broadbent April 2018

“I found the view fabulous, the caretaker helpful and the welcome food appreciated thank you.”

I would like to stay at another Sykes cottage in the future and am also grateful I could take the dog. I feel Sykes have cornered a niche in the market for small but cosy accommodation. Highly recommended
Margaret M July 2017

“Lovely flat”

Gwenver Beach Collection

Sennen Cove 1.7 miles. Perfect for beach and coastal holidays and short breaks, these properties are set in a stunning location with private access to Gwenver beach close to Sennen Cove, 5 miles from Lands’ End and 9 miles from the ancient market town of Penzance. As soon as you arrive down the private drive you feel immediately relaxed with amazing sea views all the way. The properties are well-equipped and two have a balcony where you can sit out with your morning cup of tea and enjoy your surroundings. The nearby beach is sandy and around 150 yards long and with some of the best surfing conditions in Cornwall it is surprising that it never gets too crowded. For those who want to relax and watch the surfing action the beach is a real suntrap located at the base of steep granite cliffs. With superb coastal walks in either direction right from the door walkers will also be in their element here. Adjoining is Sennen Cove with Whitesands beach, one of the cleanest in Europe and named in the top 20 secret beaches in the British Isles. Sennen Cove still retains much of the atmosphere of an old fishing village, with a small number of local fishing boats plying their trade from the harbour. With Sennen having a great pub, a top class restaurant, a café, fish and chip shop as well as a village shop you will have all the ingredients for a great holiday whatever time of year.

The property

This first floor apartment beautifully overlooks Porth Sennan on the Penwith Heritage Coast.

With many of South Cornwall's fine features close at hand, use The Lookout as a romantic base for a break with your other half.

Enter this bright and airy apartment; the sitting room is a wonderful spot to let your hair down, boasting comfortable seating and the choice of watching your favourite shows on the TV or the crashing waves on the beach below.

The fresh, light kitchen is compact yet well-equipped so you can serve up those tasty home-cooked meals throughout your stay.

Get your rest in the splendid double bedroom which is decorated in soothing, neutral colours to provide a peaceful spot.

Enjoy the cool sea breeze from the comfort of your very own balcony, a fine spot to sit with a glass of wine and admire the far-reaching vistas.

The village of Sennen is a short journey away, this charming place provides a tranquil holiday location whilst offering a pub and a modest choice of shops.

The world-renowned Land's End comes nearby and is most certainly worth a look.

From here, you can also pay a visit to some incredible coastal spots including St Just and Penzance both within easy touring distance.

A fabulously located cottage, perfect for a couple's getaway.

About the location

SENNEN

Land’s End 1 mile; St Just 5 miles; Penzance 9 miles.

The most westerly village in mainland Britain, Sennen has a lovely mile-long beach of pure white sand and is a very popular holiday destination. With excellent surfing conditions, the village has its own surf school – overlooked by a super-cool beach bar/restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows which make the most of the wonderful views. Once a hub of smuggling activity, Sennen still retains many secret passages – one of which is said to lead to the covered well in the Old Success Inn. Largely unchanged over time, this lovely village has a timeless appeal and is home to a gallery, a medieval church, an Iron Age fort and a small selection of shops where you can buy beachware, gifts and souvenirs, and a range of groceries. There is also a weekly Farmers’ Market in the village Community Centre each Tuesday morning. During the summer, the beach bar becomes a hub of activity and entertainment, with live music, weekly barbecues and popular surfing competitions.
