Only a 250 yard walk from the beautiful sandy beach of Whitesand Bay, this charming little row of three delightful and comfortably furnished holiday cottages commands magnificent views over the bay and Sennen Cove. On a quiet lane leading only to the cliffs, they have been very tastefully converted from a spacious Victorian house and are stunningly set in several acres of shared natural grounds; home to a wonderful variety of wildlife which can easily be seen from the steep beach path and the cottages themselves.
The beach at Whitesand is magnificent; a splendid mile of sand which has been awarded Blue Flag status and is excellent for surfing . Sennen Cove, ½ mile, is a picturesque little fishing village looking out over the bay. It offers shops, pub, restaurants, even a lifeboat station, all within walking distance. There are some beautiful walks along the coast towards Cape Cornwall in one direction, and beyond Land’s End in the other.
The famous outdoor Minack Theatre is only 3 miles away and Penzance, 7 miles, boasts a mainline station, shops, inns, swimming-pool, sailing and tennis. There is a golf course at St Just, 4 miles, and facilities for squash and badminton are available locally. Picturesque St Ives is 15 miles away along the spectacular north coast. The Carn Towan cottages are perfectly positioned for enjoying a Cornish holiday – and are cosily heated throughout, with double glazing, making them ideal for all-year-round breaks. Shops ½ mile.
The properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 11 guests.
Absolutely perfect place. Love coming here cant wait for next year
Fantastic location, stunning scenery! Lovely comfortable cottage that was very clean. It has everything you need, WiFi, dishwasher, washing machine. 10/10 the owners always welcoming and caring.
We have stayed at Bishops Rock, Longships and Sevens Seas in very recent years and it's time the cottages were revamped. Longships this time was not very clean and felt the furnishing and kitchen were very tired.
Beautiful views of sand and sea from the cottage. However, the layout of the upstairs bedroom meant that making your way to the bathroom was quite tricky (narrow gap between bedside table and top of stairs). The communal garden - as far as we could make out - was a small strip in front of the patio door, and there was a tricky step to access it.
Longships is in a stunning location with a fantastic view.
We had the most lovely break! The cottage was just perfect for us, it had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable! We certainly hope to return and have already recommended to people.
Loved our stay at Longships, lots of walking and fantastic views. Will definitely be back .
Our stay December, 2019
Cosy cottage with amazing views !!
