About this property
Thatched farmhouse with large garden a few minutes' walk from a stunning beach
Esther's Field is a stunning 17th-century granite house with thatched roof set into the hillside above the beautiful white sands of Sennen Cove with fantastic views of the beach and sea from almost every window.
Recently completely refurbished, it has 4 bedrooms (all with large beds and white bedlinen : two superking size beds, two singles and one bunk comprising two singles), 4 bathrooms (3 shower rooms and one with both bath and shower), two sitting rooms (both with wood-burning stoves and TV and DVD) and a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen with Rayburn as well as an induction hob and electric oven. The house feels spacious and relaxing - you will enjoy complete peace and seclusion, while still being within walking distance of everything. The house sits in an acre of private garden with a large central lawn, a gated wildflower meadow, an upper garden, a hidden garden and many little paths and areas to explore. You will find many exotic plants and a summer house full of garden furniture: tables, chairs, benches and steamer chairs so you can relax in every part of the garden. You can walk down to the beautiful white sands of the cove (lovely little shops and restaurants) in about 8 minutes: fabulous for swimmers and surfers too. The house also sits a minute from the coastal path so you can walk straight out of the house onto the breathtaking coastal paths and enjoy the wonderful coastal walks around Land's End and its many coves and beaches and spot some amazing birds, plants and animals. Esther's Field is beautiful in the spring and summer, and a cosy getaway in the winter months too with wood-fires and books to enjoy.
Land's End: The famous Land's End, the most westerly point of Great Britain, is under a mile away. You can see the well-known Longships Lighthouse and the last few outcrops of rock that stretch out in the sea towards the Scilly Isles from the beach in Sennen Cove. A walk along the coastal path from Sennen takes you to Land's End, and to many other beautiful little beaches around this headland.
Nearby towns: St Just, a charming little town with several pubs and shops, is a few miles away. The larger town of Penzance, with its rail link to London, is 8 miles away. Penzance has many fine old buildings, lots of antique shops and art galleries and a whole host of shops. From here you can also take the boat or helicopter to the Scilly Isles. About 40 minutes away by car is St Ives with its famous Tate Art Gallery.

We love how Esther's Field is becoming a family tradition for you...so happy you had another lovely holiday and had fun and tranquility in the Far West.
We love this house and return year after year. The host is lovely - very communicative and helpful. The house is well equipped, comfortable and full of character set in a beautiful vantage point to look down on Sennen Cove and also to watch the sunset. The garden is large and rambling and the kids love it. Highly recommend.
Esther’s Field is the perfect cottage to enjoy the south Cornwall coast. The cottage is really well equipped with comfortable beds, cosy rooms and the most amazing views. We spent a really happy week here and would love to come back

wonderful family holiday
Esthers field was immaculately clean, had beautiful character and situated in a stunning location. The house and gardens have a lovely welcoming feel about them and the 3 children all loved exploring and making themselves at home. Very special place with so much to do in the nearby area.

Thank you for your lovely review Deanie - so glad you enjoyed your stay ( and slept well in our comfy beds!). Those views are pretty jaw-dropping, aren't they? Do hope we can welcome you back again soon.
This would be a wonderful cottage anywhere, it well maintained, comfortable and welcoming with a lovely garden. But add the spectacular view over one of the best beaches in the UK next to amazing cliff top walks and what more do you need?

A lovely warm family house in a fantastic setting looking down over the beach
Plenty of living space, a well organised kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, lots of hot water and lovely quiet spots around the property in gardens on a number of levels. The view down to the beach and out to Cape Cornwall in the distance is fantastic. This is the second time we’ve stayed here and hope to come back again in the near future.

I'm so glad you had a great fortnight at Esther's Field - thank you for your review. Lovely to hear that you felt at home and want to come back!
Fantastic from start to finish. All rooms gorgeous. Comfy beds & all with a private bathroom! Gardens beautiful, breakfast everyday overlooking the beach! Wine last thing at night. Local pubs great & within easy reach. Tip: if there’s going to be a good sunset walk along Maria’s Lane towards lands end thru an iron gate & watch the sunset from the stones. WOW

About the host
Hosted by Jules Glasspool
I grew up in the West Indies, went to university to study Modern Languages in St Andrews, Scotland, and trained as a journalist, working as Features Editor for Country Living Magazine in London. I'm married to David and have 3 children. I love travelling, and think the best beaches in the world are in the Far West of Cornwall!
Why they chose this property
Esther's Field has a special atmosphere. I think this is partly due to its great age and significance (it is Grade II Listed as a historical building of interest) and its architectural charm. It is also because of its amazing position tucked into the hillside above Sennen Cove, affording vast, all-round views of sea, sky and coastline: truly breathtaking.
What makes this property unique
At Esther's Field, you will find peace and seclusion, but the glorious Cornish countryside, the beach, the sea and the amenities of Sennen itself are all just a few minutes from the house on foot. You will have the best of both worlds!
