Quiet, clean and comfortable bunglaow.

Sandylands is a lovely bungalow, spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable and it had everything we needed. The large garden is great as well, I loved watching the bats at sunset! Very convenient location, a short walk to Sennen Cove. We also really appreciated the generous welcome pack. It makes a great base for exploring West Cornwall.

Perfect in every way!

Sandylands is in a beautiful location and is very well equipped for a beach holiday. Perfectly decorated in a seaside theme with a cosy homely feel. The welcome pack and thoughtful touches throughout the property went beyond what you would expect. Would defiantly return, just perfect!

Great time at Sandylands

We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful cottage. Lovingly furnished and equipped with everything you need for a successful family holiday (and much more!). The location is unbeatable and the way down to the romantic bay idyllic and well feasible in 10 minutes on foot. We have never had such great hosts. For us it was the first but certainly not the last time in Cornwall (Sennen Cove)!

Perfect place to stay in West Cornwall.

The accomodation was beautifully presented with all the facilities we needed and the welcome pack far exceeded expectation. Very rare to find a 2 bedroom place with 2 double beds. The walk from the accomodation to Lands End, via Sennen Cove, and back, too just over 1.5 hours. A true gem.

Lovely house for a great vacation

We had a really great time at Sandylands. Unfortunately, the two weeks went by far too quickly. The house is really lovingly furnished, surrounded by a large and very well-kept garden. We had everything we needed in the house for such a holiday. Everything was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. When we arrived, a whole basket of typical Cornish treats was already waiting for us, which made us extremely happy. Malcolm was very helpful and provided some great recommendations for sightseeing and eating out. We highly recommend Sandylands!

Loved the little touches

Fantastic, accommodation was clear, very well presented and perfect of your kids. The extra touches and lovely welcome packs were a wonderful surprise and so very appreciated. It really was such a special touch and the best we’ve seen from the holiday cottages that we’ve stayed in over the years. The drive down wasn’t easy but coming in to everything looking perfectly clean and the small surprises, was just such a treat. Cooper, our dog loves the garden (as did we all) and it’s a very special place. Thank you

Homely Retreat

Stayed for just over a week. We were lucky we had the nice week. Spent many lazy days in the private extensive garden. The property had just about everything you could need. Bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. Lounge had two very comfy sofas. Sun room was great for breakfast.we were looked after during our stay by Malcolm. Popped in to say hello and check we were ok.He gave us his contact details in case of any problems.We didn't have any. The Owners were very helpful and accommodated our request to stay for an extra couple of days.Would certainly return. Thanks for a lovely break.

A fabulous find!

It was our first time to Cornwall, and we could not be more delighted with our choice in Sandylands. The care taken to make everything as comfortable as possible was immediately noticed. We loved the welcome basket and cleaning kit left for us, as well as pods for the Nespresso machine! We had a small hick-up with no hot water but the agent responded within minutes and it was all sorted in less than an hour. The garden and play gym was a massive win with young kids! The walk down & back to Sennen Cove Beach is beautiful, albeit challenging and slow with small kids. Sandlylands is a great base to explore the breathtaking scenery West Cornwall has to offer!

Very high quality property and location

Very high quality cottage that you would be very happy to stay in for a long period. From arriving and seeing a very pretty outside and then a lovely atmosphere inside to a wonderful welcome package from the owners, out through to a wonderful and safe garden to the sea view the place just kept giving. There was also lovely surprise of beautiful garden lights as it got dark. There is a very nice walk down the Lane and onwards down to the beach at Sennen Cove and a nice walk over to Gwynver beach and also across the top to Lands End if feeling energetic. We would be very happy to stay at this property again and is quite possibly the best cottage all around that we have stayed in.

Wonderful week!

What a lovely time we had! We were welcomed with the most incredible goodies, as was our spaniel - above and beyond our expectations 🥰 We felt immediately at home, with everything you could need and more being thought of. We loved being a short walk from the beach and the weather was glorious, dare I say it - too hot! With such a lovely garden, we were happy to spend days relaxing with the dog and then visiting the beach in the evenings for a cooling dip in the ocean. Thank you Sandylands, we cannot recommend you highly enough! 5*+++
