    The only downside are the very steep steps to access the property and which could be very difficult for some people, although these are well flagged on the listing.

    The flat was perfect and being creative practitioners, we loved the decor and atmosphere. A home from home. The cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch too...although it did set a precedence, cant even begin to calculate how many more we devoured during our stay! :D That view must be one of the best in Sennen and we spent many a happy hour sat in the bay window. Thanks for everything - It's a 10/10 from us xx
