We had a lovely week at Cove View. The flat was very clean and comfortable and perfectly equipped - we had everything we needed to cook, without the cupboards being cluttered. The welcome cream tea was a lovely surprise. The beach is a very short walk from the flat and gave us access to beautiful surf and long stretches of unspoilt coast path.

This was our second stay at this property and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. The property is clean and comfortable.and we were made very welcome on our arrival with Prosecco and homemade scones! The location is ideal, being a few minutes walk from the beach and, if feeling a little more energetic, a beautiful clifftop walk to Chapel PorthRead more and St Agnes. Truro, Newquay and Perranporth are all within an easy drive, with a particularly enjoyable drive to St Ives via the coastal roads. Hide

Immaculately presented apartment which is just a short walk from the cafes, pubs, gift shops and the beautifully clean beach in Porthtowan. The apartment is finished to a very high standard but also feels like a home from home. Also a great base to explore nearby towns of St Agnes, Perranporth and St Ives.
