Guests say
Carn Eve boasts stunning sea views and spacious accommodation, ideal for large families or groups. Its proximity to beaches and coastal paths makes it a prime location for nature lovers. While some guests noted the property could benefit from updates and maintenance, the overall experience is one of comfort and enjoyment, with many expressing a desire to return.
The property generally received positive remarks on cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and comfortable. However, there were isolated mentions of areas needing attention, such as evidence of dogs in the grass and a few instances of dust and cobwebs, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views, proximity to the coast path, beaches, and local attractions. The uninterrupted sea views and the ability to observe wildlife such as dolphins contribute to an exceptional location rating.
Guests found the property to be spacious and generally comfortable, with a warm and homely feel. However, some guests noted that the beds and furniture could be updated for enhanced comfort, and issues with draughts from windows were mentioned.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there are several reports of maintenance issues such as leaks, draughty windows, and a need for TLC. These issues suggest that while the facilities are adequate, there is room for improvement.
While some guests mentioned a welcome basket and the caretaker's helpfulness, there is insufficient information to determine a consistent level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches for guests, thus the score is set to null.
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 Land’s 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.
Sennen Cove is a small fishing village situated close to Land's End. The village has a lifeboat station, church, a couple of shops and a café.

However, the only communal shower didn't work. The caretaker came to have a look but he surmised it required an electrician - one that didn't appear during our stay.

Rugs curling up, tripped over twice,. Swarms of flies, up to 40 at one time in our bedroom. Had to buy fly spray to try to control them. Cheek by jowel with 4 other properties which in part overlook carn eve. I don't recall any mention of neighbours in your ads. On plus side. Superb views, small but very well equipped kitchen

We had to deploy a bucket. The ground floor bedroom also had a ceiling leak. Personal items were made wet so we had to learn where not to put items. In the first floor room with a double bed: the toilet had a faulty pipe which leaked. The top floor en suite had water coming in, possibly a fault in the shower plumbing. It is disappointing, and reflects badly on Sykes and on the owner, that these, or similar, faults had been complained about by previous tenants in the visitorsâ book and in your online reviews, but have not been seen to. With a rental of over £3,000 pw coming in, surely repairs should have been made.
