There’s a magical “edge of the world” feel to this beautiful part of west Cornwall, particularly in winter, when you have the sandy beaches practically to yourselves. A few yards from the water’s edge is this traditional fisherman’s cottage, where slate floors, exposed stonework and a huge fireplace are complemented by a modern blue-and-white kitchen with coir mat flooring. There are two double bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, and a twin, plus a bathroom with a roll-top bath. Head out along the South West Coast Path before tucking into fresh fish and other delights at Ben Tunnicliffe’s renowned Sennen Cove restaurant, open on winter weekends.
