Overlooking Whitesands bay and only a couple of minutes walk from Sennen Cove harbour, Top Cottage is an ideal holiday base for four people.

Completed in 2010, it was newly built on the site of an existing cottage and has all the advantages of modern building technology, combined with a spectacular location. Tucked into the hillside, it takes advantage of both the North facing sea view and the sun to the South, the rear terrace being sheltered by the house from the prevailing winds. A perfect sun trap!

The cottage has a lovely, calm, light filled atmosphere during the day but is warm and cosy at night, with a wood burning stove to keep off the Atlantic chill in the winter. The living roof insulates the house in cold weather and cools it in the height of summer, as well as providing (at times!) a flower filled visual extension of the garden. It is planted with a selection of local wild flowers & grasses which constantly change according to the seasons and weather.

The solar panels provide plenty of hot water, backed up with a more traditional immersion heater on cloudy days.

We welcome well behaved dogs!
