Kitticarn, a charming accommodation located on the cliff top above Gwenver Beach and adjacent to Sennen Cove beach, offers a perfect retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in the stunning Cornish coastline and countryside. Situated just 8 miles from Penzance, this location is ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views that extend to the Isles of Scilly on clear days, as well as captivating sunsets that fill the sky with vibrant colors. At night, the absence of light pollution allows for spectacular stargazing, with the Milky Way shining brightly and distant ship lights adding a touch of intrigue to the serene landscape.
Upon arrival at Kitticarn, visitors are greeted by a peaceful drive down a quiet lane that sets the tone for a relaxing holiday. The property features a cozy open-plan living area that includes a kitchen, seating, and dining space, making it a comfortable home away from home. Accommodating up to four guests, Kitticarn has two bedrooms—one double and a bunk room suitable only for children—along with a compact shower room. Outside, guests can enjoy a tiered paved and graveled area with a picnic bench, leading to a large natural grassy space that invites relaxation and offers stunning ocean views.
The location also provides direct access to coastal paths, allowing guests to embark on scenic cliff walks in either direction. Heading south towards Land's End, which is just under three miles away, or north towards Cape Cornwall, where seals can often be spotted basking on the rocky shores, makes for memorable outdoor adventures. A 20-minute walk down steep steps leads to Gwenver Beach, known for its surf-friendly waters and seclusion, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing on warm days. Alternatively, Sennen Cove offers a more accessible beach experience with its expansive sandy stretch, perfect for families with young children.
Sennen Cove, a quaint fishing village and harbor, retains much of its historical charm and features a variety of local amenities, including shops, cafes, and a pub. Visitors can savor fresh seafood at the renowned Ben Tunnicliffe Restaurant at Surf Beach Bar, where dishes often include fish caught directly from Sennen Cove. Kitticarn serves as a cozy base for exploring both the great outdoors and the rich local attractions, providing guests with an unforgettable Cornish getaway.
