“Amazing property in prime location x”

Had a brilliant stay and just 2 minor points Couldn’t find the clothes airer Main doors a bit stiff Other than that a super property with outstanding views

Dawn “On checking out yesterday I noticed blood stains on one of the pillow covers as I was taking off the bedding.”
I found this to be disgustingly unacceptable given that it should have been noticed when the cleaners were making it. Could the owners please provide larger towels the current ones are too small and starting to smell. The outside area upon arrival was very sandy maybe this can be hosed down for the next guests, as we were walking sand into the cottage. On a positive note excellent location and property had everything you could need for your stay. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch on arrival and the flowers made it feel homely. Came home after a week very rested and chilled thank you.

Susan “The Old Beach store is in an amazing location.”
The design and layout is great, our only request would be for more storage space and a mirror in the bedroom please. Lovely amenities in Sennen Cove, great pub and food on the doorstep. The private parking space is invaluable as the car park gets very busy during the day. We will return.
- Susan, May 2025 -
Frank “Beautiful property in a superb location”
- Frank, May 2025 -
Anna “This is an amazing property and place for holidays!”
We love it!!! Everything you need is there incl. coffee machine, hairdryer etc. Mattress is very firm so you may think about a topper to take with you. Other than that it’s perfect!
- Anna, April 2025 -
Len “Fabulous location with fantastic sea views.”
Clean, fresh property. Onsite parking was perfect, allowing easy unload and packing. The under floor heating was fabulous, with no need to use the log burner. Kitchen facilities were plentiful, easily possible to cook a full meal. Loved the Nespresso machine which made lovely coffees. Nice to have the additional bedroom tv, albeit a little clunky to operate.
- Len, February 2025 -
Ronald “Very nice place to stay right by the beach all you need is there and a lot of places to go”
- Ronald, November 2024 -
Amanda “Wonderful place to stay had everything we needed for a great holiday.”
- Amanda, November 2024 -
Tim “What a lovely and beautifully situated cottage Old Beach Store is.”
With those views you could have a fantastic week here without leaving the living room and kitchen. We could have much better used a washing machine...more relevant to two people than a dishwasher. And a table and two chairs would be more useful than that window counter and stools. People over 60 rarely chamber on to stools. But allinall, best summer hols letting I've stayed in in 50 years coming to Cornwall.
- Tim, September 2024 -
Aidan “Perfect holiday stay.”
Unbeatable location.
- Aidan, July 2024 -

- Philip, June 2024 -
Susan “We informed you in 2023 when we stayed that the fridge was not cold enough.”
In 2024 disappointed to see our items in fridge go off . Fridge still not cold enough.
- Susan, June 2024 -
Michael “Wonderful property,great location outstanding views.”
Cant fault the old beach store.perfectly located virtually on the beach,well equipped with everything you need & more.loved our week staying here,but for us 1 week was not enough so looking to book for two weeks next year.
- Michael, May 2024 -
Andrew “What can I say the old beach store was absolutely fantastic everything what was advertised and more views amazing couldn't get any closer to the beach.”
Booking very easy no problems with anything great job to all. Will definitely go back.
- Andrew, March 2024 -
Tracy “FABULOUS the view is fantastic whatever the weather (we are in uk) the property is so lovely and comfortable and the parking place is a real bonus.”
- Tracy, March 2024 -

Victoria “Our 4th winter stay at old beachstore and by no means our last, it’s a yearly sanctuary we couldn’t do without .”
- Victoria, November 2023 -
Darren “An absolutely A1 experience from start to finish.”
This is a hidden gem and we are so glad we booked it! Our first impressions when we opened the door to the property met every expectation - everything was spotlessly clean, and cleverly designed. The warm floors were a lovely welcome every time we came back, and the electric Velux window allowed us the best ventilation at night, we enjoyed the lapping of the waves and fresh sea air and slept like babies! Sennen Cove was also a real surprise, pulling us down to the beach each day. We had a hiccup on departure, we forgot some stuff!!! But even this wasn't an issue and the same A1 5* experience continued, and our parcel turned up at home with everything that we thought was lost forever. So all in all, 100% recommend to anyone reading our review, and whilst we wish the owner all the success, we hope a week or two will remain so we can come back another time!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful week away and being attentive right to the end, All the best Darren & Kath
- Darren, September 2023 -
Aidan “The perfect holiday.”
Can't praise it high enough. Would love to repeat the experience in the future.
- Aidan, July 2023 -
Jo “We stayed here last July, loved it but there were a few issues back then.”
A lack of cutlery and crockery and were pleased to see it is now much more stocked and the Kitchen Bi-fold was broken, it was much better being able to open it this year. We love this place, very high end spec with all the comforts. We will be booking again, yes it is expensive but worth it. A wonderful position too. The cleaners were great, it must be said. We had a 2 week stay and they arranged with us to change the Towels and Linen after 1 week, they also cleaned and swept through, which we weren't expecting to be done. A big improvement on last year, when we were asked to strip the Bed ourselves and leave the linen and Towels outside. A new Bag was then left and we then had to remake the bed ourselves, as they said it's not their practice to enter on a 2 week stay. These new ladies were shocked when I offered to do the Bed! We were offered 2 time slots for our convenience, very friendly and helpful.

Glynda “Absolutely loved this place and we have already rebooked.”

Thank you for the Prosecco and cream tea.
- Catherine, May 2023 -
Andrea “Wow what a stunning place this is, location is perfect.”
Had a fab time & we will definitely be back next year!!
- Andrea, April 2023 -
Ronald “Lovely place to stay great views Thanks”
- Ronald, April 2023 -
Andrew “We have just came back from our stay at the beach store sennen cove Cornwall, what a beautiful place it was.”
The beach store was absolutely perfect views from the sea in every room felt like you was on the beach. Everything exactly what it says on the booking and more. Perfect place to stay, we will definitely go back. As always booking with sykes is easy and you get everything that is advertised on the booking site, everything was perfect couldn't get any better. Amazing.
- Andrew, April 2023 -
Michael “Absolutely fantastic holiday!”
Stunning views and location, which made our 30th wedding anniversary so special.
- Michael, April 2023 -
Rosalind “Beautiful little place with stunning views.”
We love Sennen Cove and this tiny house is the perfect warm and comfortable place to stay and visit during winter.
- Rosalind, February 2023 -
Tony “Fantastic view but cleaning was poor”
- Tony, December 2022 -
Becky “Our second visit; we love this place so (so so) much.”
We still love it in winter, but this time a few things were broken that weren’t an issue on our first visit… detailed below: Four things: wine cooler was completely broken, fridge was temperamental (freezer defrosted despite fridge being on high) shower backed up (just needs drain-o), under-floor heating was very hard to set up in the main room. Managed eventually but I think the previous guests had put it to ‘holiday’, ie off for a long time… We love this gorgeous property (the Sonos is just excellent, as is the log-burner and of course the amazing location) and we’ll still return because we can swim, surf, paint, and go on early beach walks so easily. Thank you for reading!
- Becky, October 2022 -
Scott “Fantastic property, lovely views and a pub on your doorstep!”
What more could you ask for!!
- Scott, September 2022 -
Catherine “The bed was super comfy.”
I absolutely loved the views from all windows. The location is great - it's busy with lots of people walking / driving past on their way to the beach but it's a nice buzz. Soundproofing in the house is v good. Facilities are very good and the house was very clean. It was a lovely place for a holiday house. A welcome cream tea and a bottle of prosecco was so kind. Thank you.
- Catherine, August 2022 -
Jo “This is a most Beautiful place to stay.”
Reserved parking immediately out front and views to die for. Lovely welcome package. Hand wash, hand cream etc. Very impressed indeed. It's a shame that the Bifold door in the kitchen, and the Kitchen window are both broken. Only the door can be used. I had to phone about this as a note hadn't been left, and was told they were aware but it can't be repaired until after the Summer bookings. However, it didn't spoil our stay, you have the Bi-folds in the Living Room to open so plenty of fresh Air. No small windows to leave open overnight, so can get a bit stuffy, only the Velux in the Bathroom, which shuts automatically if Rain is detected. Also, I did see other comments on the lack of crockery and that hasn't changed much. Set of 4 for Dinner service and only set of 4 for cutlery? Does have enough pans. Not a major issue but the spec of this property is so high, then they are stingy on that? Still, a wonderful stay was had and we shall return!
- Jo, July 2022 -
John “For a self catering property this was very poorly equipped.”
We were left with a bottle of sparkling wine, which was appreciated but there was only one champagne flute. There was a small selection of glasses which were very poor indeed. There was no chopping board other than for bread, which was the the top of the bread bin. There was no bread knife. There was no cheese knife.The mugs we mismatched and of poor quality. One of the plates had a large chip on the edge. There were just three cereal bowls and there were just three desert spoons. This a great shame as the property is in an enviable position overlooking the beach and the sea. We stayed here in 2019 and it was much better equipped on that visit. Lastly the cleaning could have been better, there were huge cobwebs hanging from the living room ceiling and while we appreciate that it does have a high ceiling the cleaner should be provided with something to clean these away. We took up all these issues at the start of our stay with Sykes but nothing was done to correct any of the issues. We also called the cleaner and a message but we did not get the courtesy of a reply.
- John, March 2022Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback, this is really appreciated. We have spoken to the owner of The Old Beach Store and he has confirmed that he has asked his housekeeper to ensure all damaged items are replaced and that more equipment is provided. Property Owner

Annette “We had an amazing time , what a gem , location is just the best.”
Just hope its kept to the standard its in now, had trouble using the Sonos some instructions would have been helpful but we didn’t bother in the end, but that’s being picky. Very jealous of the owners its fantastic and thanks for letting us share
- Annette, March 2022 -
Chris “Very comfortable and well designed property, but the incredible location is the real star attraction, being able to see the beach from every window and only be 30m walk from being on the sand - just incredible!”
- Chris, January 2022 -
Tessa “The property was fantastic.”
It was very much a last minute booking and I am so pleased I found it. Ideally located, Sennen Cove was beautiful. The property was perfect, just what we wanted. It was clean and there were some 'treats' left for us. We will certainly be back. A little bit of other feedback - the sink in the bathroom took ages to drain and the shower over flowed! Not sure if the drains need a clear out. We could not use the Sonos as it need to be updated.
- Tessa, December 2021Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are pleased to hear that you had a fantastic holiday. As soon as the cleaners were aware of the issue you mentioned with the sink and shower they have taken action to resolve this. Property Owner

Jody “We had an amazing stay.”
The accommodation is the perfect size for 2 people. It has everything you need and more. The views are quite simply breathtaking. The only down side was, you had to wait for the hot water to heat up again for a second person to have a shower. We will definitely book to stay here again ❤️
- Jody, December 2021 -
Emma “Absolutely superb location and facilities.”
We loved everything about the Old Beach store , the views are spectacular and the accommodations was comfortable with everything we needed . The local pub , fish and chip shop and general store were excellent and so convenient you can get everything you need without needing to travel . The walks from the door step in either direction are incredible. I would recommend everything about the cottage and the location . Thank you
- Emma, September 2021 -
Gillian “Excellent holiday property ,wonderful location,all that was needed for a relaxing holiday”
- Gillian, August 2021 -
Martin “A fantastic location right on the front , you could do with making it clearer where the parking space is , it was very busy when we arrived on the saturday and the sign was obscured by people standing in front of it.”
A table outside would be good as nowhere to sit and eat. Expensive but hopefully rates will be more realistic once the world settles down again
- Martin, July 2021 -
Andrea “The parking opposite the property was fantastic as it’s a busy carpark.”
The house itself though small has everything you could possibly need, super comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. I really couldn’t fault it.
- Andrea, July 2021 -
Ann “The beach never fails to amaze and the location to enjoy the views is perfect.”
Very cosy and beautifully decorated accommodation/ comfy bed also. Parking right in front of property is excellent as accessible and no extra fees. Would love to return but too expensive looking at next year, very sad about this.
- Ann, June 2021 -
Wyn “The cottage position to the beach and coastal path,fantastic.”
- Wyn, June 2021 -
Melanie “Small but perfectly formed, this holiday home is perfect for a couple wanting a getaway as close to the sea as possible without being in it!”
Location is amazing with sea views that you can stare at for hours. Even in a brief storm and windy autumnal weather the scenery is breathtaking. The flat is immaculately clean and well appointed. Bed is comfy, shower room superb. Everything you need.
- Melanie, October 2020 -
Yvonne “A great holiday location with a superb place to stay.”
The Old Beach Store was well equiped, clean and the extra touches helped to make us feel very welcome. The COVID 19 posters helped to reassure us that care had been taken to ensure both our safety and that of the housekeepers. A lovely, well needed holiday.
- Yvonne, October 2020 -
Julie “Fabulous place, with amazing views.”
Definitely recommend.
- Julie, October 2020 -
Peter “Superb place with a stunning viewS from every window.”
- Peter, October 2020 -
Ann “The Old beach Store was beyond all expectations, a really lovely, spotlessly clean & comfortable place.”
The owner should be justly proud of what he has provided for visitors to Sennen Cove.
- Ann, September 2020 -
Nicola “We needed to contact the housekeeper because we couldn’t find various items (parking permit, black bin bags, linen bags) but the telephone number given was unobtainable.”
- Nicola, August 2020 -
Helen “The accommodation was superb, very clean, lovely welcome pack, fantastic view of the sea and surrounding area, so easy to book all so straight forward.”

Within the kitchen area, pale grey units hold a host of appliances including a slim dishwasher, with a breakfast bar which sits beneath the window, you can wake up to gorgeous coastal views everyday as you sip a morning coffee.
The sitting room is flooded with light from the bi-fold doors which allow you to let the outside in on sunny warm days, you can enjoy the Atlantic breeze, or for the colder months, admire the scenery from the comfort of the leather sofa as the underfloor heating warms you up after a brisk beach walk.
The enclosed patio is perfect for your dog to stretch their legs in the morning, while you sit at the outdoor furniture and enjoy the sounds of the ocean.
When you need some well-earned rest for another exciting day, head to the bedroom area, where a double bed is uniquely placed behind a cabinet to section it off from the rest, it creates a sweet little corner for you to rest in.
Freshen up in the fully tiled shower room with excellent fitting including a rainfall shower head, great for washing the sea and sand off after a beach day.
Spend your time in summer on the beach in Sennen Cove, where several pubs and cafés sit nearby so you can stop in there for lunch before returning to your spot.
