Property code: 89885

Grab your swimming costumes, wet suits and buckets and spades, and get ready to make special memories in this quiet part of South East Cornwall. This boutique apartment is just right for a couple or small family plus a four-legged friend.

Your cosy apartment is a welcoming space in which to relax after a day on the beach or out exploring. Compact and convenient, it has an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with comfortable seating around a Smart TV and a dining table with views of the terrace. The kitchen has been cleverly designed to fit everything you’ll need, whether you’re preparing a picnic for a day trip or a leisurely evening meal. On the same level there are two pretty bedrooms, and double and a bunk-bed room, as well as a family bathroom. The decked terrace that leads off the living space has storage for beach gear as well as outside furniture for al fresco meals – the perfect place for a drink as the sun goes down.

With a shingle and sand beach, a bar, cafe and restaurant all within 500 metres, the apartment is handily located for a fun seaside break. This is a fascinating and relatively undiscovered part of Cornwall, and if you want to get out and about, all kinds of treasures are in store. Try the picturesque town of Looe, 6 miles west, or drive east and around the Rame Peninsula, Cornwall’s ‘forgotten corner’, with the pretty villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, and Rame Head, 10 miles, where there’s a Medieval chapel and gorgeous views of Whitsand Bay (whose beaches are never crowded). Inland, Golitha Falls, 13.5 miles, is a series of small waterfalls in a lovely woodland which is perfect for a walk, rounded off with lunch at Inkie’s Smokehouse BBQ in the car park.

This property was well equipped and cosy. We were greeted with a box of cupcakes and a bottle of wine which was a lovely welcome gift. On arrival the property was clean, windows were open as requested to air the property out. The property had everything we needed. The owners had made sure that the property was equipped for a family with kids books Read moreand board games which were a big hit with our boys. The kitchen was fairly small and had limited work surface space but was manageable. Good location. Hide
