Land’s End and the neighbouring village of Sennen Cove offer two distinct experiences. You can stay right on the cliff top at the famous landmark itself, or retreat slightly to the shelter of the cove where whitewashed cottages and pubs sit just yards from the surf. It is a perfect base for walkers, storm-watchers, and anyone wanting to escape the crowds of the main towns.
From the most westerly hotel in England to hidden valleys filled with self-catering cottages, here is our curated guide to sleeping at Land’s End.
Our Top Picks
These three properties offer the best location, character, and comfort in the area.
1. The Land’s End Hotel (Best for Landmarks)
You cannot get closer to the edge than this. The Land’s End Hotel stands alone on the granite cliffs, offering an experience that is atmospheric in all weathers.
- The Vibe: Traditional Victorian charm mixed with dramatic scenery. The communal areas are designed to frame the view of the lighthouse and the Isles of Scilly.
- The Stay: For a special occasion, book one of the “Penwith Studios.” These are luxury, modern suites adjacent to the hotel that offer more space and high-end finishes.
2. The Old Success Inn (Best for Beach Lovers)
Located down the hill in Sennen Cove, The Old Success Inn is a stunning 17th-century pub that sits directly opposite the beach.
- The Vibe: A proper Cornish inn. It is lively, friendly, and smells of salt air and fish and chips. The terrace is the ultimate spot for a sunset pint.
- The Stay: The rooms are modern and bright, with many offering sweeping views of Whitesands Bay. It feels much more connected to the village life than the main Land’s End complex.
3. Saddle & Stable Rooms (Best for Independence)
Situated just a mile inland at the First & Last Inn, Saddle & Stable Rooms offer a quieter, more private option.
- The Vibe: Rustic luxury. These are converted farm buildings that combine the freedom of self-catering with hotel-standard comfort.
- The Stay: Ideal for couples or families who want their own space. You are next door to the historic First & Last Inn for dinner, but have a peaceful courtyard to retreat to.
Camping & Budget
- Trevedra Farm: Widely regarded as one of the best campsites in West Cornwall. Trevedra Farm overlooks Gwynver Beach and offers pitches with uninterrupted sea views. It has excellent facilities and a popular on-site cafe.
- Land’s End Hostel: For those walking the coast path on a budget, Land’s End Accommodation (Trevescan) offers a high-quality hostel experience. It is clean, modern, and friendly—a far cry from the hostels of old.
Parking & Logistics
- The Cliff Factor: If you stay at The Land’s End Hotel, you get free parking in the main site (which usually charges day visitors). Just make sure you register your car at reception.
- Sennen Cove Access: If staying at The Old Success, be aware that the road down to the cove is steep and narrow. Parking in the cove can be tricky in the height of summer, but the inn has permits for the council car park.
