Stephanie and Don (and the two dogs) were very welcoming. The room was large and very comfortable. The spread for breakfast was great. Stephanie and Don went out of their way to look after us. Highly recommended

Arriving at this lovely home tells you that it is well cared for and that you will also be well cared for by the host/owners. Our room (I think it was the John Banks Room - or similar) was spacious and spotless. Everything you need is provided, even down to a ride in Don's car into the town for dinner so that you can enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner.
Stephanie and Don are great hosts and Sennen House can only go from strength to strength under their stewardship. Obviously it is almost impossible to be 100% perfect to suit everyone and there were two downsides for us. There is several steps to climb to the rooms, so if your legs are bad (like mine) it can be difficult. Secondly, we are people who like to sit down at a breakfast table when on holiday and be served bacon and eggs, etc. - with emphasis on the "be served" bit!! Stephanie sets out a very nice continental breakfast in your room to eat at your leisure which will please many. The fruit basket is always full of a variety of fresh fruit. The township is only a short drive away and we found the Oxley Hotel restaurant on the waterfront very good. This is a Guest House to which we would happily return and recommend. Finally, thank you Steph and Don for the very nice bottle of wine that you so kindly had waiting for us on our arrival to help us celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary.

Room tip: The few rooms are all equally comfortable and spotless.

Thank you so much. This is high praise indeed from two people that used to run the best B&B from their beautiful chateau on the South Island. You were both so kind, friendly and helpful and it was such a pleasure to meet you.

Luckily as you said most people love to wake up at their leisure and help themselves to the continental breakfast provisions, but if you do come back to stay with us I will try to bribe Don in cooking you bacon and eggs as he is much better at that than me. (Unfortunately we can't do anything about the stairs).
We both wish you all the best in your future adventures.

We can't say enough about how special this stay was for us. We fell in love with Picton and The Sennen House. It is a beautiful historic home with lovely large guest rooms and amazing hosts. Stephanie and Don did everything imaginable to make the accomodations perfect. Our room was beautifully appointed with incredible attention to detail. The breakfasts were interesting, different each day, and absolutely delicious. Our gracious hosts made bookings for us and even drove us into town when they were available. That said, the walk to town was easy and pleasant. Picton is darling, with lovely water-side restaurants and amazing food. There is great hiking and sailing. We enjoyed a day trip to the wineries in Marlborough with door-to-door service to the Sennen House. We didn't want to leave and we truly hope to return again someday.

This place has a historic background but the current owners are making new history themselves. From the moment we arrived they delivered a first class service and really couldn't have been more helpful. All the facilities you could hope for were provided (and some !!) and the rooms were both comfortable and functional. I really can't praise Stephanie and Don enough and have no hesitation in recommending this place
