Sennen cove, at the very furthest tip of the Cornish Peninsular is a fabulous location for a holiday. It has a broad sweeping sandy beach, perfect for sun seekers, surfers, and anglers. It has all the ingredients too, for the little ones, with white sand, pools and streams for endless play. During the warmer summer months dolphins, seals and basking sharks are regularly seen. The small village stretched along the level seafront has a very good Inn, restaurant, cafés, galleries and shop. Linked to the coastal path the cliff walks in both directions allow access to some of the most beautiful coastal scenery anywhere.

Holidaying in Treen offers a real taste of rural life. The village is situated in an ideal setting for accessing the celebrated Lands End coastal path and the fabulous sandy beaches of the West Penwith area. With seven of these beaches being within just a few minutes drive from Treen, and the village boasting a highly popular country pub, the location is an ideal one for all ages and interests.
