Very nice holiday apartment (with parking!) in a good and quiet location. Short walk to the beach, you can hear the sound of the sea when the window is open! Very clean and well equipped.

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.
