The Lookout

The Lookout is a 1-bedroom apartment on Escalls Cliff near Sennen, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. It sits on the far western tip of Cornwall, about 2 miles from Land's End, with the South West Coast Path running directly past the property.

Inside, the apartment has Wi-Fi, a washing machine, and a garden. No dishwasher is provided - worth noting for self-catering for 4. Parking is included, and Saturday changeover. No dogs are accepted. The accommodation is positioned to take advantage of its clifftop location, with easy coast-path access in both directions.

Gwynver Beach is about 0.25 miles away - a wide sandy beach that's typically less crowded than its neighbour and rated by local surfers for its consistent break. Sennen Cove with its working harbour and the Old Success Inn is about 1.4 miles south. From the coast path, Maen Castle - an Iron Age cliff fort dating to around 250 BC and the most westerly hillfort on mainland Britain - sits within walking distance. On clear days the cliffs here give views toward the Isles of Scilly, 28 miles offshore.

Best for: couples or small groups wanting direct cliff-path access in far west Cornwall with one of the county's least-visited beaches on the doorstep. Less good for: families expecting a full kitchen kit or guests wanting a beach-facing window outlook - sea views are not confirmed for this apartment.
