The Stables At Brea Farm

The Stables at Brea Farm is a two-bedroom cottage with a Sennen Cove address near St Just, the most westerly town in mainland England and the nearest with shops. A king-size room sleeps two privately, while a second room with a double and single bed holds three - worth knowing if the group wants even privacy. Two bathrooms support the five-person layout.

A wood burner effect gas fire sits inside, with a garden and BBQ outside for warmer evenings. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, and one dog can stay. The barn is reverse-level, with both bedrooms downstairs, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and the open-plan living space on the first floor opening onto a balcony. The garden has a pet shower for rinsing dogs.

Gwynver Beach is 1.1 miles away, part of the same open sweep of sand as Sennen Cove, 2.1 miles off, where the RNLI runs a lifeboat station and summer lifeguard cover. Priest's Cove, a rocky cove for swimming at the foot of Cape Cornwall, is 2.8 miles away. St Just's Cape Cornwall and the clifftop Crowns engine houses at Botallack are also within easy reach.

**Best for:** five guests wanting two bathrooms, a gas wood burner-effect fire and quick access to Sennen's surf beach and Cape Cornwall's mining heritage. **Less good for:** guests who want evenly split bedrooms or step-free access.
