The apartment is in a great location and in very very good condition with everything you need for a very comfortable holiday. We felt at home within a couple of hours of arriving. There were only two in our party but the apartment would also be great for a family of four as there is lots of space and a good twin bedroom as well.. In particular if lRead moreike us you intend to cook quite a lot the kitchen utensils and pans etc are top class and very easy to clean. We would definitely stay there again. The location close to a wonderful beach is great. Hide

The flat was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. It provided us with everything we needed to enjoy time in it. If the weather had been better we would have enjoyed using the balcony too. A lot of thought had clearly been put into furnishing and equipping the property and it was of a high standard.

Comfortable, clean and really conveniently situated. The bus stops right outside so its easy to go anywhere between Penzance and Helston. Great for walks as we could walk one way and get the bus back. Porthleven , Perranuthnoe, St Ives are all close by. Some lovely places to eat.

Our second visit to this lovely property . Very comfortable and well situated.We were unable to get the TV to work and on contacting the owners the problem was dealt with very quickly. Thank you. The property is excellently situated for exploring and for relaxing . We made good use of the buses in both directions to enable coastal walks back . E.gRead more bus to Porthleven and walk back along the coastal path . Likewise in the opposite direction. We hope to return again in the not too distant future. Hide

The apartment was very clean on arrival and the welcome gifts were a lovely treat / surprise! I cant fault the location. It literally took us three minutes to walk to the beach! Praa Sands beach was beautiful. The children loved it so much they didnt want to come home. Fantastic location for seeing the sights of West Cornwall.
