Property code: 92786

Set up high in an elevated position above the village of Downderry, this quality coastal apartment offers South Cornwall adventures with a beach just 500 metres away. Situated on the first floor, you can enjoy far-reaching views out over the village and glimpses of the sea from the pretty terrace space that this property has to offer. Made for couples or small families, the two-bedroom property sleeps a total of four guests and is dog-friendly, too. Whether you want to stick to walking or drive out to local attractions, you’ll find so much to do in this Cornwall beauty spot. Visit Looe (6 miles), explore Bodmin Moor (13.5 miles) or cross over into Devon where the Tamar Valley AONB (15 miles) offers endless opportunities for walking.

Compact and cosy, this natural, light-filled apartment offers enough space for four to comfortably stay. Pass the cute terrace as you head inside, making yourselves at home in the lounge/kitchen/diner. The dining table has been pleasantly positioned by French doors, allowing you to make the most of the views even whilst dining indoors. After dinner, retire to the sofa and choose a favourite film or board game. Two bedrooms sit beside a family bathroom just off the lounge space. Whilst a double bedroom is made for couples, a bunk bedroom invites younger guests to sleep in peace.

You’ll pass coffee shops, pubs and restaurants on your way to Downderry Beach (500 metres), a sheltered, shingle beach with the prettiest views and space to sunbathe. At low tide, you can walk along the shoreline to the neighbouring Seaton Beach (1 mile), another seaside destination that’s pet and family-friendly. For further days out, visit Porfell Wildlife Park and Sanctuary (17.5 miles), the thrilling Adrenalin Quarry (7.5 miles), the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (3 miles) or the incredible Eden Project (26 miles).

Perfect little home away from home. The sliding patio doors were a god send in the warm weather and being able to open them and enjoy the sea breezes was lovely. The beach being at the bottom of the hill was a huge plus for our child. The tapas restaurant served delicious food and came recommended by the cottage owner. We had towels and bedding on Read morearrival, there's even a filter coffee machine! 10/10 recommend here as its local enough to reach other places but is equally lovely to stay in all day Hide

Just returned from our stay at Bumblefish. It did not disappoint. We love peaceful surroundings and this is exactly what we got. Two adults and two dogs minutes from the beach. Seaton beach and country park were a short distance. Lovely woodland trek to the Copley Arms. The Smugglers Inn is fantastic for dogs!! Even has its very own dog menu.

We just got back from a lovely stay at Bumbledish! The apartment was exactly as advertised, with location better than expected! Two lovely restaurants/pubs and a charming cafe all within 5 minutes walking distance. And the beach was easy to get to and perfect for our two young children and dogs! Would be happy to book again for next summer!

Good place, excellent balcony. Quiet. A lot of steps if not physically mobile - but you then have excellent view

A lovely location, very peaceful. The accommodation is very well equipped & clean. It is ideal for two adults & two dogs or smaller children The road between Seaton & Downderry can be challenging if large vehicles are trying to pass

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a very quiet area which was lovely. Beautiful location with a great balcony where you can see the sea. When the sun was out we felt like we were abroad.

A nice apartment overall and good value for money. The stairs up to the front door, although ok for us, might be a problem for those with mobility issues. A great position, however, with restaurant/pub/beach all within walking distance (albeit having to navigate a steep hill).
