  We had a great stay at Senafe.

  The property is very comfortable and the location is excellent, just a few minutes from the amazing dog friendly beach. Our two dogs enjoyed chasing their ball around the safe, enclosed garden and also paddling in the sea. Most of the local shops are dog friendly too which was a bonus. The weather was pretty extreme, due to the storms, but we managed to visit nearby Tintagel and Boscastle as well as Bude. The bad weather meant we had to stay home more that usual and whilst we made use of the great facility to sign in to Netflix etc. we were disappointed that there was nothing else in the property that we usually like to find, such as books or games ( despite being mentioned in the house guide pack). There were quite a number of other items listed which were not there also, such as dog blankets;first aid kit; dvds and no guest book to pass comments back. We appreciate that this might be something related to Covid, but if so, it could be mentioned in the house guide so that people can pack these things. We had a lovely holiday (sadly cut short by the red weather alert) and would definitely return to Senafe and this lovely area of Cornwall.

  Green Smithy Cottage is beautiful!

  It had everything needed for our stay and more. The location is fantastic....although you definitely need a car to get to places if you are not keen cyclists. The beauty of the countryside around is idyllic. Fields, moorland, rivers, hills, woodland ... just awesome! Delightful places to visit nearby. We enjoyed Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and Ribblehead Viaduct. The three peaks are at hand for keen walkers, and for not so keen walkers there are lots of villages nearby to explore. Here we were able to do as much outdoors as we liked and then chill at the cottage. Eating out at local eateries on days we didn't fancy cooking ... although check places are open as Mondays and Tuesdays seemed to be closure days for some. Personally I wouldn't want to come in wintertime but purely because of driving in snow or icey conditions is not something I'd relish!! Highly recommend. Many thanks to the owners Mr and Mrs Hingley for making this such a delightful place to retreat to and recharge.

  The cottage is lovely and the owners couldn’t have been more welcoming.

  They met us on arrival and showed us everything we needed to know, and left us welcome gifts. The cottage is spacious and finished to an extremely high standard. I have read on other reviews that the gate is narrow, but we managed to fit a large 4x4 on the drive and it offered peace of mind that we could park our car safely and that our dog and small children would not stray from the grounds without us opening the gate. The cottage contained everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It is in a quiet location but still only a short drive to Bentham. For anyone thinking of walking to Bentham though, be aware that it is about a 25 minute walk - fine for adults but those with small children may prefer to drive. We found parking in Bentham no problem though so this wasn’t an issue. We felt the cottage was terrific value for money and would consider staying again.

  Lovely, spacious, well equipped property.

  Great location for the beach. Great for my elderly, not very mobile mum and a very dog friendly property. Brilliant garden. Very peaceful. The owners appear to have thought of everything. Considering this is a dog friendly cottage, there was no trace of any dog hairs anywhere. The only thing that let it down was the cobwebs around the ceilings, this problem was particularly bad in the main bedroom and the storage area for the bed was full of dust and dirt. We hoovered these away. Remainder of the property was very clean, bedding and towels also very clean. Fabulous property and holiday and we would definitely book again and recommend to friends. Selection of tea, coffee, biscuits and lovely scones, jam and cream and milk had been left for us, which was a nice surprise. Good communication from Sykes throughout.

  Senafe is a great holiday home.

  I booked it for its appealing colourful modern interior and close location to beaches. Usually I go for remote country cottages so this was a novelty for us. We had a great week despite mostly wet weather. The only slight disappointment was the lack of heart or soul to the living room. The little wood burner will create a cosier feel but we didn't feel the need for it. The house is lovely and warm. Comfortable and spacious. Easy to see the attraction to new visitors and why so many either return or plan to. We won't be going back but will recommend Senafe to larger groups of family and friends. Plenty of space for a big group with the two really good bathrooms.
