About this property

A Cornish Gem, Amazing Sea Views, Private Path to Sennen Beach, 5 star reviews


Trewollas Beach Cottage has unrivaled sea views, nestled high in the sand dunes, it has a perfect south-west aspect, enjoying the sun all day long through to fabulous sunsets over the Atlantic. It is a detached property and is private. The living room and bedrooms offer wide sweeping views of the valley, Sennen Cove village and of course the fabulous beach and sea views. On a clear day you can even see all the way to the Scilly Isles!

Just 2 or 3 minutes’ walk via the private footpath from the garden will take you down to the South West Coastal Path and the vast sandy beach of Whitesand Bay.

The living area is open plan, taking advantage of the amazing views through large double-glazed windows and a patio door opening onto the terrace. A few steps lead down from the kitchen and dining area to the sitting room. The two levels provide separate yet companionable spaces.

The main bedroom has a king sized bed and with an en-suite shower room. The front bedroom situated across the other side of the living area from the main bedroom has zip and link beds, so can either be made as a twin or if preferred a super king-sized bed. This bedroom has use of the main bathroom, which has a luxury free standing bath and a rainfall shower.

The cottage is equipped to a high standard thougout and has WIFI, Freesat TV, a DVD player, a washer / dryer and a dishwasher. Trewollas is warm and cosy making it ideal for a winter break.

There is a sheltered sun terrace, a “window” in the hedge frames the view over Sennen Cove beautifully. A barbeque area and outdoor tables and chairs make the garden a great place for al fresco dining.

The local area has many attractions to visit, including St. Michael's Mount at Penzance, just 10 minutes’s drive from Trewollas and the picturesque port of St. Ives only 15 minutes away. Land’s End is a walk of less than an hour from Trewollas along stunning coastal paths.

Whitesand Bay is a beautiful crescent of golden sand stretching for over one mile between granite headlands. Backed by high sand dunes and with little development, it has a very natural and relaxed atmosphere. The large tidal range produces an extensive beach of firm, fine sand at low tide, wonderful for sand castles and play, walking and relaxing. The clear Atlantic waters have consistently met or exceeded the higher quality standard for bathing water in the Environment Agency’s annual tests.

A rocky outcrop divides Whitesand Bay into Sennen Beach and to the north, Gwenver Beach. At low tide, the vast sands of the beaches join; when the tide is in, a short section of the South West Coastal Path links the beaches.

At the southern end of Sennen Beach, cafes, restaurants, the pub, galleries and shops gathered along the seafront provide everything needed for a great day at the beach.

There is a lifeguard service on both beaches from May to September and, on Sennen Beach, over the Easter weekend as well. Sennen Beach provides safe bathing within the flagged zones and the Atlantic swells provide excellent surfing.

There is a surf and beach hire shop below the Restaurant on the beach where you can hire beginner surfboards, intermediate surfboards, wetsuits, body boards and fins. For those of you not wanting to go into the water there are deck chairs, sun loungers and windbreaks. The conditions vary according to time and tide but waves can be found for all abilities whether novice, intermediate or expert.

Children have an absolute ball in the surf and the local surf schools offer great coaching to get them up and riding the rollers though of course just frolicking in the waves and body boarding will be excitement enough for some.If you’ve already got the surfing bug then this is the perfect place for you. If you’ve yet to try surfing then, in our opinion, there’s no better place to start…surfing.

One well-behaved dog is welcome at Trewollas for an extra charge of £30. We are sorry but we do not allow puppies or dogs under 2 years old. Dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms or on any of the furniture. and if you would like to bring your canine friend on holiday please adhere to our dog houserules.

Please be aware that our driveway is steep and there are several steep steps down to the cottage, so Trewollas may not be suitable for anyone with mobility difficulties.

What a wonderful stay
The week we spent at Trewollas went by far too fast, we enjoyed every moment there. The stunning views from every room, the beautiful and very comfortable interior of the seaside cottage and the warm welcome made our stay a very special and relaxing one. The kitchen was extraordinarily well equipped, the beds very comfortable and the place was very clean. Actually we didn’t miss anything, on the contrary, we have never had such a thoughtfully furnished holiday cottage before! The way down to the beach seemed to be a bit challenging at first but it turned about to be okay even if you are not that fit. We went down the paths with our dog every day and enjoyed the trip und the thrilling views in spite of very unsteady weather conditions (rain, sunshine, hale and wind). Heather, thanks for this wonderful time we could have at your Trewollas! If we will come back to Sennen we will definitely try to stay there again!

Fantastic views
Really lovely property with spectacular views. Well appointed for self catering - ample cooking utensils etc…fabulous showers and bath, amazing views all round. Lovely walk down to beach and good hike back up so you can also improve cardiovascular fitness if you choose to take the steep path down and back up (there is a more gradual route) . If you have mobility issues, however, think carefully as the steps down to the property and thus back up to your vehicle (also parked on slope) may be an issue…especially with heavy bags/luggage. If you have a large vehicle as we did (fiat decato - mobile painting studio) negotiating the entrance/exit to and from driveway might be a challenge too…unless you’re a competent driver. Luckily we were just about ok but it was very tight.. Super communication with property owner and agent was quick to let us know of a glitch with the outside lighting on day of our arrival. Nice touch on arrival too, with goodies left in basket. Thank you Heather.

It was advertised as luxury but i wouldn't agree, it was very comfortable, beautiful towels and bedding, equipped very well but i feel it needed lots of TLC to call it luxury. Paintwork, flooring, windows, outside rail all need looking at.

Private little cottage tucked into a hillside
We've been staying in and around Penzance for the last 15 years. We adore Sennen and like to visit as often as we can... Trewollace is just perfect, it's a proper peice of Cornwall tucked into the side of a hillside. I fell in love with the place as soon as I took the winding steps leading down to the cottage. The views are out of this world and can been seen from every room, even the shower! I'm really going to miss watching the sea come in and out, it's so relaxing! We saw sunshine and amazing sunsets, to winds and rain! There's a little area at the end of the garden that shelters you if there's a westerly wind which was golden! And if it's an easterly, then you don't feel the wind on the terrace directly outside the sliding doors, it's a sun trap! The split level living/kitchen I really liked too, you can potter, cook or just sit and chill whilst being with everyone... The path down to the beach is perfect too, steep, but that's the price you pay for such amazing views... I timed myself and it takes exactly 7 minutes until you're strolling on the the sand collecting sea glass, which I found a lot, remember to look down... My favourite surrounding places are St Just... Head there for local veg shops and butchers... The cafe in Sennen does really good food, and the beach cafe is great to just sit and relax with a glass of wine, I love it there... check out the apple tree cafe near lands end 👌

Hello
We are Heather and Rob and we were lucky enough to purchase Trewollas in December 2015. We have always loved visiting Cornwall and in particular Sennen Cove and when Trewollas came on the market we knew it was perfect. During the first few months of 2016 Trewollas has been completely refurbished, we have put in a new bathroom, kitchen, new furniture and new wooden flooring. The cottage has been successfully rented out as a holiday home for the last 12 years and we are delighted to say that many previous renters have re booked and are already enjoying staying at Trewollas. We look forward to welcoming everyone to enjoy Cornwall's Hidden Gem! We hope you will love it as much as we do.
