This beautiful apartment, perched directly above Porthtowan's sandy, dune-backed beach, is ideal for couples and families seeking a seaside escape close to local amenities and Cornwall's north coast attractions. Boasting uninterrupted views across the bay, you can plan for a coastal holiday enjoying surfing, beach days, and cliff-top walking. Porthtowan sits at the foot of high cliffs on this stretch of the Cornish coast, and surf hire and lessons are available in the village. A handful of cafes, pubs, and restaurants give the village a sociable heart without the bustle of larger Cornish resorts. Nearby St Agnes (6 miles) is a must-visit destination famous for its dramatic coastal scenery and mining heritage.

Unwind on the comfortable seats in the spacious living area, ideal for chatting or watching a movie on the Smart TV.

The kitchen has all the appliances you need to make meal preparation a breeze, then enjoy unhurried feasts at the dining table. A handy breakfast bar divides the living and kitchen areas.

Upon arrival, we found a printed notice asking guests not to run or jump in the apartment so as not to disturb the occupants below. However, throughout almost our entire stay, the guests in the apartment above repeatedly ran, jumped, banged on the walls and moved furniture. When I reported the disturbance to the manager by email, the response waRead mores simply: We do not manage the property above yours. This was particularly frustrating, as we were expected to follow strict noise rules for the benefit of other guests, yet no meaningful assistance was offered when we ourselves were subjected to persistent noise from the apartment above.
