We had a gorgeous stay at this cottage. The beds were super comfy, there were two lovely bathrooms, the sofas were huge and comfy and the kitchen was fully equipped. Thank you . The location is also great - with easy access to several lovely beaches in the area. We enjoyed a sauna and cold bath at the nearby eco campsite as well as an afternoon of Read moresurfing in Perranporth. There is a gorgeous cafe in the center of Porthtowan too which we enjoyed.

The apartment was great. Comfortable, quiet and with everything you need supplied. Loved the large shower. Perfect location and brilliant for my dog with access through the patio. Really lovely of the owners to leave 2 bottles of wine, crisps and chocolates for us. Our first time away for Christmas and I'd recommend it!

Great apartment, in a lovely spot for exploring north and south coasts. Being on one level was great and having two walk-in showers a real bonus for those of us less agile than we used to be! Hosts provided lots of useful information about the apartment and the area. Good times :)

Absolutely fabulous well equipped accommodation lovely quality furniture you literally want for nothing. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into the fixtures and fittings. The apartment is in a very quiet location and a very short walk from the fabulous Porthtowan beach. We had a lovely holiday here and were sad to leave.
