Spring and Early Summer Owner Direct Bookings
Our little beach house in Sennen Cove is once again rapidly filling up for the coming summer months, but we still have a couple of opportunities remaining for anyone looking to grab a great late deal seaside holiday here in West Cornwall, and we have a fabulous free Traditional Surfing Co bellyboard offer.
For our facebook, beachhouse blog followers and twitter friends we've decided to offer some very special discounted rates for anyone wishing to book with us, the owners, directly, and we can probably do a little more if you are not fussed about a cream tea and wish to bring your own linen.
And to really sweeten the deal, how about a free bellyboard from our friends at the Traditional Surfing Co. These boards are the very finest traditional wooden boards you can buy and are hand made here in West Cornwall. If you hav'nt tried a wooden board you do not know what you are missing as they offer a far more involved and invigorating surfing experience than a foam bodyboard.
For more information, double check availability or to make a booking, be quick mind, please email us at: info@littlebeachhouse.co.uk
Current Availability & Price
Friday 13th April - 20th April: £403.20

Friday 27th April - 4th May: £403.20

Christmastime in the Cove...
...is magical!
In the far west we really celebrate the winter solstice, Christmas and the new year. The towns are lit up, Christmas markets abound, on solstice eve its seems the whole of West Penwith converges on Penzance for the torch lit Montol festival, Mousehole is resplendent in her coat of lights... and if thats not enough, come Christmas day morn we assemble on the beach en-masse for the annual swim (wetsuits are barred), and after that you truly deserve your Christmas Turkey!
For more info on the best of the West's lights... http://www.intocornwall.com/special/clights.asp

The Christmas Please and Thankyou
A week or so ago a package arrived at our house, and when we opened it up the most delightful children's book popped out of the envelope.
The book was written and illustrated by Bernadette who stayed in The Little Beach House with her family during August, and what makes the book special is that she worked on and emailed the final approvals to complete the book whilst there.
Bernadette asked if we would place a copy in the house, and of course we are delighted to do so... but not before our kids had given it a thorough 'test read' and take it from me they gave it a big thumbs up.
We think the book would make a lovely Christmas Eve present for that special night's bedtime story, and copies can be bought quite easily from Amazon; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Christmas-Please-Thank-You/dp/1908447826/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
So thank you Bernadette for thinking of us, and next time you are down we'll make sure there's a few fresh eggs from our chickens for your little ones boiled eggs!

We Love Bellyboards...
Traditional wooden bellyboards are the hot ticket West Cornwall way this summer, but its amazing how many people have yet to cotton on to the fact that they are way more fun that foam boards, are faster, surf better, definitely more environmentally friendly than the sponges and heck, just downright cool!
We've been big fans of them for years, both our kids shunned foam boards in preference for wood a while ago now, and we always have a stash in the camper to bring out for instant fun and big smiles.
Although we ride modern bellyboards by Sennen's Traditional Surfing Co, the only people in Cornwall still making boards in the old fashioned hand made way, we have a real soft spot for vintage boards and have a small but cherished collection that we oil up and display.
Two of our favorites pictured above, a Lightweight Sealion model and a Charles Pearce Surfrider, you will find in the Little Beach House on the wall. And soon maybe a third as the wife spotted a gem in the local curio shop last week.
I've long admired the Wavemaster logo bellyboards so was utterly thrilled to finally find one, especially in such lovely used condition, and now can't wait to give it a fresh oil and shine.

Thanks Coast!
The letterbox is largely joyless since the advent of email, twitter, facebook, txt'ing et al with which we now choose to share our thoughts and experiences. Its a shame no-one uses the post any longer as we're left with a doormat full of letters from people you do not know wanting money or people wanting you to spend money on something you do not need or want. Unless of course, you subscribe to Coast...
So once again the boredom of bills has been broken by our subscription to Coast, and once again a lovely Cornish heavy issue made even better as its all down this way.
From the opening spread of Pedn Vounder (a few miles around the coast from The Little Beach House) to a feature on Penzance Coast has done us proud. I especially like the way that they recognized that Penzance lacks the somewhat falsified glitz (I mean, who needs another branded pasty shop re-selling generic factory made items at ridiculous prices) of some other local coastal towns and retains and indeed embraces its local and somewhat Bohemian feel.
Anyway, you've read Coast, taken the open top bus from the Cove to Penzance for the day, what next?
Needless to say Coast has the answer, a stunning circular walk taking in some of the finest coastal scenery in the Country before meandering back through the quiet paths just inland and guess what, you can pick up the route from just outside the house.
We've still got a few weeks free in September and October if you would like to see and experience all that Coast praises, and even though I'm biased as I live here, believe me its definitely worth it!
