About this property
Sennen Cove 2 miles. In one of the finest cliff top locations in Cornwall stands Carn Eve, a wonderfully spacious detached seven bedroom holiday home set over 3 floors with private beach access to the beautiful Gwenver Beach which adjoins the iconic Sennen Cove. Situated eight miles from Penzance and four miles along the coast from Lands End this magnificent house offers a family holiday that will never be forgotten. From the moment you arrive along the private lane to the house you will be mesmerised with the amazing uninterrupted sea views where on a clear day even the Isles of Scilly are visible. Entering the house you pass the games room which will prove a hit with the children before coming to the magnificent sitting room. Here the huge windows on three sides give breathtaking views whatever the time of year and whatever the weather. From watching the storms in the winter in front of a roaring log fire to watching the dolphins playing in the bay on long summer days, this really is a superb room. From here a wraparound decked area provides the perfect setting for private sunbathing or alfresco dining. There are seven bedrooms here with various sleeping combinations to suit all and five bathrooms. With a choice of beaches along this world-famous coastline to select from you will be spoilt for choice. Gwenver Beach, reached by a private footpath right below the house is certain to become a favourite, offering some of the best surfing conditions in Cornwall and being difficult for the general public to reach rarely becomes too crowded. A special house in a stunning location to be enjoyed all year round.

We had heavy rain and there was a significant leak in the downstairs games room. The mattresses are very old and lumpy to sleep on. It would also be good if there was a key safe as one key for 9 people isn't ideal if we aren't all doing everything together. The house however doe have everything you need in terms of catering there is everything you need and in large quantities too.

The owners need to invest some money into restoring the actual building and updating the facilities.

the downfall is that the property is tired it could do with all new windows and doors we had two nights of wind and rain and the rain came in at the bedroom balcony door and the wind was Howling through all the gaps in the doors and windows Which kept us awake for a couple of nights Jason the caretaker did put a temporary seal on the doors and windows Which did help. we also had a leak in the downstairs conservatory the water was coming in from the roof by the window. luckily we noticed in time as the water was splashing on our laptop. we also had a leak from one of the toilets. This I temporary repair and notify Jason. the house has a lot of damp issues with rotting wood Window sills in the ground floor bathroom damp patches on the walls in the bedroom and damp plaster with flaking paint at the lower part of the windows. The house just needs a bit of tender loving care and some money spent on it. This would then be a lovely house and we would consider booking again. regards phil.
