The Sennen house is an old villa from the 19th century, now run as a private B&B with a british charme. Michelle, our host was very friendly, reliable and helpful. The rooms and kitchen are fully equipped, comfy and clean. The breakfast was really good. Whenever we will be back in Picton, we will definitely book the Sennen House again.

In many respects this should get a 5***** review, as the attention to detail and all the little extras are just superb. But it was all a little too much for me. And please, the gravel drive doesn’t work with heavy wheeled suitcases.

Disappointing

Very disappointing and not what we had hoped for. It was described as a “luxury” B&B and it was seriously lacking. A do it yourself breakfast set up to poach your own eggs and a coffee make that didn’t work.
