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.

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts. Our room was very nice and the bed extremely comfortable. The hosts provided milk, eggs, bread, yogurt, cheese and spreads as well as Nespresso. We enjoyed a wine tour in lovely Picton. I’d highly recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second stay after being here 6 years ago. It was just as beautiful as before, and if anything it was even better. The house is simply charming and our room was immaculate and very comfortable. The owners greeted us and helped us get settled. It is an easy walk to town, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return here if we travel here again.
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
