The Tower is beautifully situated overlooking St Michaels Mount with access to cliff paths and coves. It is fully equipped with plenty of good quality white goods and kitchen eqipment, to make it an home from home. The only drawback is the third 'bathroom' which is down a flight of stairs and is a sanilave type system with an A4 poster declaring Read more- "No 1's only". The washbasin is for hand washing only with a ferocious tap that wets your feet each time. So, to have access to a bathroom the third couple have to wait for access through one of the other two bedrooms. The accomodation is great for two couples having equal facilities. Hide

Location, location, location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Tower, Acton Castle. It's a beautiful, spacious, well-equipped apartment with spectacular views over Mount's Bay from all of the bedrooms, the main living area and, of course, the roof top terrace! With the windows open, we enjoyed nodding off to the sound of the waves and waking tRead moreo the sound of the swallows, buzzards etc. It's a serene spot, with stunning Cornish coves to discover within easy reach (and in both directions) along the SW Coast Path, which can be joined easily in just a few steps from the property.
