Accolades for Sennen Cove

Its been a week or two of well deserved accolades for Sennen Cove.

Fresh brewed cafetiere and Coast Magazine,
a fine morning combination.

Beginning with the July issue of Coast arriving on the doorstep, always a good read (actually an excellent issue this month, great feature on one of our favorite things vintage camper vans - love the '64 Bedford Dormobile on page 19) and a subscription we take so that a copy is kept in The Little Beach House, it was a delight to turn the page and discover that the opening double page 'Picture This' shot was a fantastic atmospheric photo of the Cove by Cornish photographer Greg Martin.

A couple of days later our local paper The Cornishman then reported that Sennen Cove had been awarded the highest possible grading by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) in respect of 'excellent water quality' in their 2011 Good Beach Guide.

Then this week, again in The Cornishman, world renowned travel magazine Conde Naste has featured Sennen Cove in its round up very best beaches to visit in the UK.

In fact the only thing we're missing this year is a 2011 Blue Flag Award, but do not worry, its not that the Cove has failed the inspection its just that Cornwall Council have refused to pay the £560 required for said accreditation. But of course when you are spending £18M on refurbishing your offices and have spent £9M on corporate credit card expenses (highest in the UK) you've got to save money somewhere!
