“Lovely property in a gorgeous position.”

Great for family gatherings. I would come again. This is useful feedback for owners I hope: One of the single beds is horribly uncomfortable and not fit for purpose, the springs dig into you etc. This needs replacing urgently. Wooden floors are great but noise travelled a lot if someone wanted an early night. Maybe a few thick rugs in the living room? One started toilet roll per toilet just felt a bit mean. No hand towels in upstairs toilet. All that said, it is a unique and interesting house ...

- Jenny, October 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback following your stay. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the property and its location—it really is a special place for family gatherings, and we’re so pleased you’d consider returning. We really appreciate your comments about the single bed, and we’re happy to let you know that a new mattress has now been purchased to ensure future guests are more comfortable. Your suggestions regarding the wooden floors and noise levels are very useful—we’ll look into adding some thick rugs in the living room to help soften sound. We’ve also taken note of your comments about the toilet roll provision and the missing hand towels upstairs, and will make sure these are addressed. It’s lovely to hear you noticed the thoughtful touches like the games and dishwasher tablets. We always aim to make our guests feel welcome and at home, so your feedback means a lot. Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner

“We really enjoyed our stay at the property for 2-weeks!”

It has ample space and the views are amazing. We can't wait to come back! The only points are that it could do with a little refresh and the courtyard area could do with some maintenance. We ended up deweeding it ourselves and it made such a difference and changed the whole look of it. These are only minor things however, and we loved staying in the property.

Rob August 2025

“We had a lovely week at Tregiffian Vean and the location of the house is unbeatable - the access to Gwnever beach is brilliant and much gentler than the usual cliff path down to the beach.”

As other reviews state, the house itself is a bit tired and needs updating, but this didn't really detract from the week we spent there.

- Rob, August 2025
Katherine August 2025

“We really enjoyed our stay here as an extended family of 9 (raging in age from 5-74).”

The location is brilliant if you like being a bit more remote, and the path to the beach was well used by our family. We enjoyed the various living spaces in the property, and apart from one of the single beds found the beds comfortable. The house was a little tied round the edges, but this didn’t impact our stay. (Things like an outdoor washing line would have made a difference.) However we would happily revisit.

“We love Tregiffian and stayed here before.”

It is clean and well equipped . The conservatory was a little dusty and draughty due to windows that had no handles to close them. The only thing missing for us was something to sit on to enjoy the lovely courtyard. The picnic bench was inadequate for 5 adults and 4 children.

- Margaret, May 2025

I am so glad that you love Tregiffian , and very much appreciate your feedback . I apologise for the issues with the windows and outside seating . I can confirm that we now have new handles on the windows and extra seating in the courtyard. We very much hope you will be returning to Tregiffian . Property Owner
Zena August 2024

“The kitchen is very poorly equipped - there is a salad spinner missing the inside bowl (that was there last year - it has not been replaced) - so not usable.”

There are no serving dishes only two Pyrex oven dishes so we had to use the fruit bowl (and there was only one of those !). No serving spoons either. The bottom front panel of the washing machine was loose and kept on falling off (looked like it had been like that for a while). The shower head in the bathroom straight ahead as you enter the property - was not working fully (and again had been like that last year). Why not a line somewhere for hanging out wet towels/swimsuits etc or at least another airier that could be used for this purpose - had to drape everything over the picnic table and chairs - so then where do you sit ?

“The house is large and spacious and is ideal for a large family but is in need of a touch up, with a little improvement it would be ideal.”

To put my remarks in context I would go again.

“This was our second time in the house.”

The location is perfect and it's ideal for 10 people. There is lots of space and so everyone feels they have room.

Megan August 2023

“The location of this property is Fantastic!”

The views are excellent and close to lovely beaches, we really enjoyed our holiday but the house itself unfortunately could do with abit of TLC, it's rather run down and you have 4 large bedrooms yet only 2 double beds rather than king size beds (plenty of room for an upgrade!) Cleanliness wasn't too bad but could be improved, and the electric kept tripping. All that aside we really did enjoy our holiday and the views make it all worthwhile!

“Third time visit to this house - loads of room and fantastic views.”

Great accommodation to be able to spread out.

- Ian, October 2022

So lovely to hear that you’re enjoying your stays so much that you are returning to us. We hope that this continues, and we keep seeing you here at Tregiffian Vean. Property Owner
Robin August 2022

“Amazing location, wonderful countryside and views and large spacious accommodation, with a well-equipped kitchen.”

The property could do with some attention being paid to the bathrooms, in particular. There was a shattered window and one of the ground floor windows would not shut. Jason, the caretaker, was easy to reach and helpful.

- Robin, August 2022

Thank you for getting back to us – we really appreciate all feedback, and we are sorry to hear about the issues with the windows. Glad to see Jason was there to rectify but we will work to see no issues like this arise again in the future. Property Owner

“Very nice house, we like it too much, the see is beautiful, and close to house.”

But sad thing there is no shops nearly. But anyway its so good.

Ben June 2022

“The listing is fantastic for families or people with dogs.”

we requested an extra dog which was accepted fine. the rooms were clean and tidy. kitchen lovely although we were not familiar with oven so took a few attempts. sun room has amazing views. courtyard great to contain dogs/kids and back garden area good. only criticism is we could not find outside tap and hose. needed the hose for washing off dogs after beach!. walk to beach is a bit steep in places - would not be good for elderly or disabled or if you need buggies for kids. our recycling didn't get collected on the proposed day - have fed that back to vendor. but at the end of the day as a party of 8 adults and 3 dogs this place was great. suited our needs perfectly. 5 star listing!

- Ben, June 2022
Margaret June 2022

“Excellent. Lovely holiday home for our family and far enough away from others for 4 noisy children to enjoy themselves too.”

Well equipped and airy. Great access to the beach. Will hopefully return soon.

- Margaret, June 2022
Larry May 2022

“While we loved the spot and space in the house there were a few issues.”

Main one being we could not make the house secure as a window could not be shut. We’re told by the caretaker he was expecting someone that week to fix it. No one turned up. Cooker needs attention , need somewhere to hang wet suits , swimmers etc. Views are however spectacular and for a family or families the space and separate sitting areas brilliant. Attention to detail would really bring this property to another level.

- Larry, May 2022
Judith May 2022

“Super location and great size.”

The property grows on you . Initially the unkept garden and quite a lot of old stained furniture as well as very drab dark bathrooms felt really quite depressing . The window in less depressing bathroom doesn’t open and no fan. However as we settled in to our holiday , more important was the space and location. A few touches missing would have been nice for this number of “star” property E.g some logs for the fire, welcome pack, even the flowers in vases published in advert. Really though, you need to at least replace dining room chairs and tidy up the garden as these things impact someone’s holiday. It’s a really super place, wouldn’t take much to feel you’d made an effort for guests on their much needed holiday. Thank you very much.

“Key hand over was seamless.”

The location excellent. The property itself is large and spacious.

- Glyn, May 2022
Judith April 2022

“Comfortable and clean accommodation but would benefit from an update,especially with regards to attention to detail.”

Comprehensive instructions for the dishwasher and washing machine would have been helpful, and a plug for one of the two baths! Fabulous views from the conservatory and a lovely walk down to the beach.Caretaker Jason was very helpful.

- Judith, April 2022
Samantha April 2022

“The property is absolutely beautiful.”

We had a lovely stay, its a shame we only had a weeks stay. We can't complain about much due to it being so close to perfection, but if we had to comment on anything it would be the rugs aren't very pleasant due to extracts, the bins were full from the previous occupies and the mattresses could do with updating. Everything else was perfect. The layout was outstanding, the views were amazing and the caretaker was very helpful so we couldn't of asked for a better property. It's beautiful, stunning in fact. We would love to own a house like this one. Just beautiful

“Overall house good but some areas lack comfort, also hob needed attention.”

- Royston, March 2022
Clare October 2021

“This was a great place to stay for two families with young children, the photos don't really do it justice but the layout was perfect for us with a double, twin and bathroom for each family.”

Fantastic views, especially watching the rainstorms :-) Lots of space for the kids to play inside, and they loved exploring the gardens. Great being able to walk down to the beach at Gwynver, the kids loved engineering the stream and playing in the rockpools. Jason the caretaker was very friendly and helpful when we accidentally tripped the electrics by making too much toast. Only thing missing was a dustpan and brush, it was hard to keep on top of the sand invading the porch! Thanks for a lovely stay :-)

- Clare, October 2021
Liane September 2021

“This is a lovely spacious house in a great location with amazing views.”

The house is a bit dated in places but was very clean and well equipped for 8 adults. We did however find the beds very uncomfortable - which was a shame seeing as the bedrooms are very large and could easily accommodate king size divan beds rather than the creaky wooden framed ones provided which have very basic mattresses. Despite this though, it was a great base for this part of Cornwall and overall we were pleasantly surprised - especially in view of the price. The listing doesn't mention that there is a dishwasher in the kitchen - so that was a real bonus and the caretaker, Jason, was very helpful both before and during our stay.

We loved it.

Fiona August 2021

“We read a recent review on Tripadvisor, after we had booked but before we arrived and were concerned about cleanliness plus other comments.”

We spoke to Sykes who were helpful and responsive. When we arrived the house itself was clean, however incredibly tatty and worn. Key comments: Damp and mold in bedroom cupboard is not acceptable Some of the furniture was worn out and needed to go Kitchen was home made and rickety Bathroom was bodged together with different tiles, presumably as an when fixes have been put in The outside space could be very nice however it was overgrown (albeit a gardener did arrive mid week and addressed the parking area)....too late for us. Only a tired outside pub bench to sit on and a rusty BBQ that is beyond use, was provided. I dont think we should pay this much for a house of this quality and upkeep. I can send photos as needed Look forwards to hearing from you? Oliver

“1. The location of this place is fantastic.”

Private path down to a sandy dog friendly surfing beach. It is steep though, so you have to be reasonably fit. However, if you don't want to walk and surf and lie on a beach (which we did), there isn't so much in the near vicinity - you will have to drive somewhere. Sennen is all about surfing. 2. Larger property than we thought. Detached and isolated. All good. It exceeded our expectations by a long way. 3. So so fixtures and fittings and a bit dated. But if it was a show home we could never have afforded it. Some day someone will spend a lot of money doing it up and it will go for a sky high sum of money. 4. Sykes very very iffy on Covid guarantees. Promised things in writing on booking which were never delivered. Couldn't get a straight answer. Fortunately didn't have to cancel. 5. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Loved the place.

Very central for everything we wanted to do.

Mary September 2020

“We enjoyed our stay at Tregiffian Vean, thankyou.”

The location was ideal, quiet surroundings, but easy walking to Sennen Cove, and central for a visit to the Minack (although we chose a very wet evening to go!). However, the property is in need of a little TLC (particularly outside) and a bit of "attention to detail" inside, ie missing light bulbs, lack of full-length mirror, instructions for the washer/dryer, rugs beside the beds in the twin room - cold floor for your feet! Jason the manager was very helpful and quickly responded when we had issues which needed dealing with. We were surprised at the lack of an outside line to dry washing (at least we couldn't find one!), particularly as the house sleeps up to 8 - putting everything in the washer/dryer for a large family is not very practical. The shower was not very powerful in the bathroom on the right as you enter the property. The heating was very efficient though, as the evenings were quite chilly. The garden area could do with a good tidy-up, and the contents of the wooden shed left a lot to be desired. However, these things did not detract from a very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable break for us five "60 something" ladies from Devon!

Vanessa May 2019

“Lovely, spacious house with amazing views.”

The house itself is quite run down in places and needs some TLC. There were a few things that were broken and in general needs some love! There were also a few key things missing e.g. An iron, bin bags, logs for fire (which said would be provided). For the last 1.5 days the hot water stopped working too. However, lots and lots of space and rooms to sit in and the views made it all worth it!

“Tregiffian Vean is an ideal cottage with a stunning view of the Cornish coast.”

Ample room for a group of 8. Highly recommend this property.

Alison June 2018

“The house was in an excellent position with a lovely walk down to the beach.”

There was plenty of room and the views were wonderful. The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. However a lot of the windows would not open and this would be a problem in hot weather, particularly in the conservatory. The bathroom needs either a window that will open or an extractor fan as there is nowhere for the steam to escape and the bedrooms feel damp. Some of the webbing under the seats in the conservatory has collapsed which means some of the seats cannot be used which was disappointing. It would have been nice if the garden had been tidied up and the grass cut so that we could have used it. Apart from these issues we very much enjoyed our stay and the welcome pack was a nice touch which meant we could have a cup of tea and a biscuit when we arrived.

The property

Approach this grand, spacious coastal retreat along a sweeping private drive, with jaw-dropping ocean views unfolding to your left.

Set in extensive grounds, Tregiffian Vean offers an authentic taste of Cornwall’s rugged beauty and is perfectly positioned for those who love the sea.

Step into a large entrance hall, complete with a cosy seating area that opens onto a sheltered, walled courtyard – a suntrap ideal for alfresco dining and offering a good degree of privacy.

Inside, the house boasts four generous bedrooms, including a master double with French doors leading to the courtyard, a ground-floor twin, and two further bedrooms accessed via just three steps.

The interiors are light-filled and spacious, with multiple living areas designed for relaxation.

A first-floor informal sitting room frames panoramic views of the garden and the Atlantic, while another welcoming lounge invites you to unwind after a day exploring.

The ground-floor dining room and a delightful conservatory, with windows on all sides, make the most of the spectacular scenery – an ideal spot for storm watching in winter or sunset drinks in summer.

A well-equipped kitchen and two bathrooms, each with a bath and separate shower, complete the accommodation, ensuring comfort and convenience for families and groups.

Outside, the magic continues: private access to Gwenver Beach, adjoining the iconic Sennen Cove, means the walk down is a joy in itself, offering dramatic cliffside views and moments on the South West Coast Path, which is just steps away.

This is a paradise for beach lovers, surfers, water sports enthusiasts, and walkers.

After a day on the waves or trails, head to the Old Success Inn or First & Last Inn, both within walking distance, for hearty food and a local pint.

A village shop nearby adds to the convenience.

Pet-friendly and perfect year-round, Tregiffian Vean is more than a holiday home – it’s an experience.

Whether you’re soaking up summer sunshine in the courtyard or watching Atlantic storms roll in from the conservatory, this property offers a front-row seat to Cornwall’s most spectacular coastline.

Note: This property is 100 yards from Refs 932663, 932664, and 932665; together they sleep 22 – ideal for larger gatherings.

Gwenver Beach Collection

Sennen Cove 1.7 miles. Perfect for beach and coastal holidays and short breaks, these properties are set in a stunning location with private access to Gwenver beach close to Sennen Cove, 5 miles from Lands’ End and 9 miles from the ancient market town of Penzance. As soon as you arrive down the private drive you feel immediately relaxed with amazing sea views all the way. The properties are well-equipped and two have a balcony where you can sit out with your morning cup of tea and enjoy your surroundings. The nearby beach is sandy and around 150 yards long and with some of the best surfing conditions in Cornwall it is surprising that it never gets too crowded. For those who want to relax and watch the surfing action the beach is a real suntrap located at the base of steep granite cliffs. With superb coastal walks in either direction right from the door walkers will also be in their element here. Adjoining is Sennen Cove with Whitesands beach, one of the cleanest in Europe and named in the top 20 secret beaches in the British Isles. Sennen Cove still retains much of the atmosphere of an old fishing village, with a small number of local fishing boats plying their trade from the harbour. With Sennen having a great pub, a top class restaurant, a café, fish and chip shop as well as a village shop you will have all the ingredients for a great holiday whatever time of year.
