Little Gwenver is a spacious two-bedroom granite cottage full of character and style with the living areas flowing out to the lawned private garden. There is private parking and the living room is centered around a stunning inglenook fireplace with wood burner. It’s a bright space with two squidgy sofas, a dining area and French doors leading out to the garden. After days out surfing or long winter walks, there’s no place better to snuggle up with a glass of wine and a good book by the fire. Through to the modern kitchen it’s a cook’s delight with all you need to rustle up a feast. Upstairs the two lovely bedrooms are calm, neutral spaces where you are sure to get a good night’s rest. One is a king sized and the other a twin that can be made up as a super king, you choose. They both have views down to the sea in the distance. Heading outside, the spacious garden has a dining table for Al fresco eating out. It’s a great place for lazing about and after sunset, you can do some serious stargazing across Cornwall’s famed dark skies. For a trip to the beach there is a beautiful lane (that the locals call The Fairy Lane), which runs from the hamlet out to Escalls Cliff, the headland dividing Sennen and Gwenver beaches. This lovely 10-minute walk ends in a great vantage point from where to decide which of these two beautiful beaches to go to today, particularly if you are a surfer. And from the headland it’s a short steepish walk down to Gwenver and the coastal path to Sennen. LOCATION West Cornwall is loved for its wild untamed beauty. The crashing waves of the Atlantic, stunning beaches and quaint villages unaffected by the pace of modern life. You’re in the heart of the far west of Cornwall at Little Gwenver and things are different here. We're surrounded on three sides by the sea, and it has a strong influence on our lives. We are spoilt for beaches. Gwenver less well known than its bigger sister Sennen has to be one of West Cornwall’s finest with powder soft sand and fantastic surf. It’s a steep 10 to 15 mins walk down from the cottage so you’re in a beach lovers paradise! Sennen is accessible from Gwenver at low tide or along the coastal path and although a little further has lots to offer. Often known as The Bay Where the Dolphins Play, Sennen Cove has a beautiful Blue Flag beach, two surf schools, a restaurant, an ancient pub, fish and chips and café too. The coastal walking from here offers both gentle and more challenging options with Lands’ End and Cape Cornwall within easy reach. You’re not restricted to Sennen though. There are five other sandy beaches within ten miles. And yes – you may well see dolphins in the bay. If we can pull you away, West Cornwall has plenty else to see with Marazion overlooking St Michaels Mount and Porthcurno with the iconic Minack theatre built into the cliffs both within easy reach. The working fishing harbour of Newlyn and bustling town of Penzance are 15 minutes’ drive away. Slightly further is St Ives, home to the Tate gallery, the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, several fantastic beaches and plenty of shops and restaurants. It’s well worth a visit and we recommend taking the little train from St Erth, which travels along the coast right into the town. It’s breath-taking. LIVING Through the front door you enter the living room, which centres around the Inglenook fireplace and wood burner (In season we will leave you enough logs to get you going for a night or two) and has a two-seater and a three-seater sofa and a Smart TV, perfect for movie nights in with the fire blazing. A dining area with comfortable space for four leads out through French doors to the garden. Stairs lead up to the bedrooms and an open doorway flows through to the kitchen. COOKING & EATING The kitchen at Little Gwenver is equipped with all you need to cook up a feast. It's modern and bright with windows either end. There is an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and a microwave. SLEEPING The bedrooms are both on the first floor. The main bedroom has a king size bed and the second bedroom a twin that can be made up as a super king, you choose. Both have built in hanging and storage space. BATHING The modern bathroom has a bath with overhead electric shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail. We’ll supply fluffy bath towels, just remember to bring your own beach towels. OUTSIDE You walk up to Little Gwenver from the private parking space and enter the cottage through the covered porch. There is boot storage and side access to the lawned private garden.
