'Capricorn' is an absolutely wonderful place to stay! It offers a beautiful location right next to some of the best beaches in Cornwall and easy access to the Minack Theatre and the South West Coastal Path. The flat itself is so comfortable, the kitchen had everything you would need, the living area and balcony was very cosy at night. The bed was vRead moreery comfortable and the bath was an added bonus! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Porthcurno, thank you again! Hide
