  We appreciated this reasonably-priced, no-frills, first floor accommodation for our short stay while visiting relatives in the area.

  Due to family commitments we were almost exclusively at Trevarthian Farm Annexe in the dark and/or in a hurry, but the glimpses of farmland views from the (low) windows in the mornings were lovely. We had open access to the lane outside, and there was a grassy area directly opposite the property useful for our elderly dog to 'go' on, although we did have to always accompany her (we missed advantages of an enclosed garden more than we had expected, but that's on us). I was looking forward to enjoying countryside and woodland walks through the farmland as per description but in fact due to family commitments we were not on site enough: the only time I tried was late at night and our way through the gate was barred by two large goats! For the benefit of other guests: The flat was reached by a flight of stairs but otherwise on one level. There was a dehumidifier inside the ground floor entrance (to deal with condensation I think) and a slight damp smell in the flat on arrival (which wore off over our stay) but in fact the flat was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean, with no signs of damp. The beds and sofas were comfortable, and the small kitchen well-equipped. We appreciated the cream tea ingredients, the pint of milk in the fridge, and the books and games. The owners who live in the adjoining farmhouse got a good balance between checking on us a couple of times (& answering messages sent via the app) but otherwise being unobtrusive and not hovering. If I had to suggest an improvement it would be for a slightly larger well-lit mirror in the master bedroom with a shelf or dressing table so getting ready in the morning would be easier. It would be also useful to have a direct mobile number for the owners in case of needing to reach them quickly. No complaints from our adult sons who shared the second bedroom. We were grateful to find that the owner had kindly made the zip linked double bed up as separate twins for them. We had been somewhat stressed that this request which I had had made via Sykes by phone on the day of booking (and which the call handler had confirmed by email at my request) had not got through to the owners - Liz had to contact me on the day of travel to check our preference. The written directions for reaching the farm need proofreading (the NT property is Trerice not Terrace) and improving. It might be worth warning guests about the No Entry road sign you have to pass (and ignore). Then the "first" door you reach on the lane to the farm is not the first: there's another property/building on the same side of the lane which you pass first. The door is indeed a good marker for the property from the road but it's *not* the actual entrance to the flat as described. An outside light (perhaps motion sensor) outside the farmhouse/parking area would be helpful for guests arriving and unloading in the dark and also when taking their dog outside. All in all, though, we were satisfied with our stay, pleased with our choice of property and in similar circumstances would choose it again (although possibly not with an elderly dog who gets up several times a night).

  The property is well located for Sennen Cove, but the name “sea the view” is a bit misleading as it doesn’t really have sea views.

  The rooms are very nice quality and design and a lot of thought has gone into it. The photos on the listing showed comfy outdoor furniture but this had been replaced with less lounge furniture (which is obviously easier for them to maintain). So there was nowhere we could all sit and lounge outside (the comfy corner sofa chairs were not there, the swing chairs had been taken down etc). So it wasn’t quite as expected. The bed linen was lovely quality but the pillows were awful - I get this is very personal but I had to go out and buy some as they were that poor and the main bed had a super firm mattress. We had problems with the main patio door not working which meant there was a gap when they were closed and as it is quite an exposed garden the draft and noise of the wind was quite annoying. In addition we had a day of driving rain which lead to a large leak flooding the floor under the picture window. Eating in all the basics crockery was there but for example there was no salad bowl or serving plates, so if you were wanting to do a nice meal in it was a bit basic. The addition of an electric charger was very helpful. It was lovely but overall for the high price I don’t think it quite delivered.

  Beautiful home, we felt bad when we left as we wanted to leave a few comments in the guest book but no one had a pen!

  Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!! We actually stayed in one of these last year (sea scape) and as we love it in sennen so much we wanted to come back. Sea the View didn’t disappoint, the bedrooms are beautiful and the bathroom and showers fantastic. The views are amazing too. Downstairs is lovely and the kitchen has everything you need. Couple of ideas for the new owners, it would be great to have a little bistro set to sit at outside, the big day bed and table isn’t great for anything other than lazing back! Which we did lots of course! And maybe pop a little cafetière in the cupboard - we’ve always had one in all the places we’ve stayed (even when there is a coffee machine) so it was unusual not to have one. The garden could do with a tidy up - I’m not a huge gardener but little things like pulling out the dead leaves really make it so pretty when you’re sat outside. These are just little things tho, we had a wonderful time and will DEFINITELY be back!! Thank you!!!

  Recycling options IN the flat would be preferable.

  The heating was an issue. As in, we couldn’t turn it off completely and the flat was BOILING when we arrived. And never were able to turn it off to zero during our stay in July. On the up side, we loved the complimentary beer,popcorn and shower gels/soaps. The flat was tidy and fairly clean. Duvets were too much given the central heating options.. so sheets would be good too. No views whatsoever out of the windows, which were filthy but clearly difficult to access and so clean. (Seagull and Pidgeon poo) Advice on how steep the staircase is would be a good heads up too. I have cancer and the stairs were a struggle. Super Steeper than the norm.. but I managed ish. Thank you for the teas and coffee sachets.. All in all in served it’s purpose. And for that we are thankful. TVs in each room was a blessing too. Thank you

  We can honestly say this cottage is beyond incredible.

  Location is outstanding. We have been to Cornwall a number of times but never this far South. We will definitely be back. Places to see and visit as a must are - * The last and first Inn down the road, great food and drink. Staff are lovely and dog friendly. * Porthleven. A little harbour village 30 minutes away. Absolutely stunning location with wonderful beach walks, restuarants, shops, little market and pubs on harbour front. * Sennen Cove is the best beach ever. The restuarant is fantastic the walk from Sennen to Landsend is a must. The views again are fantastic. Don't forget to look for the shipwreck! * Lands End was again brilliant lots to do. Don't forget to get your photo by the point. Great place as a couple, or with children and again dog friendly. Thank you again. We can't wait to come back! 10/10.
