Beach and Beyond.
Loved the position, we enjoyed our meals on the balcony, listening to the surf, watching the board riders, generally enjoying the view. During the day we either walked the beach (be mindful of the tides, nearly caught one day!) or chose the well worn path over the hill, where, thanks to the locals we discovered the coffee stop en route to the next village! The coffee shop soon became our destination rather than our waypoint!! The local store was a gem, there appeared to be nothing they could not supply-we often took their sandwiches out for lunch, it was an absolute gem, lovely staff as well! Super holiday Trevor and.

Beach was really wild and beautiful. Lovely coastal walks. Although the weather wasn’t brilliant we really enjoyed listening to the roar of the waves crashing on the rocks from the balcony. I would definitely recommend.

This is a lovely place to stay. Wonderful location, just a few minutes walk to the beach and a great view of the sea. At this time of year it was very relaxing as there weren’t many people around, just what I wanted. Highly recommended.

MY LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
First time my family and I have stayed in this part of Cornwall, but wont be our last. The property is in an ideal location, 1 min stroll to the beach.. if that. The views are stunning from the little balcony, with views of the beach, sea and adjacent cliffs. The property was one of the few that allowed dogs to stay and this was amazing for us to bring our 2 very small fur babies. We as a family cant wait to stay here again - the atmosphere of the place is amazing, families on the beach watching the sunset go down having bbq's and no mess left behind. The only criticism I had was that the property decor is dated (a little lick of paint and filler)and that the sink is cracked in bathroom which could be a potential hygiene issue. Another improvement would def be an outside tap to wash off the sand before entering the property.. however these are small issues and has not in the slightest deterred me and my family from returning to this lovely place.

Great place to stay and you get mesmerised by the view surfing from 5.30 am till 10pm at night . Lovely feel to the apartment really homely with all you would need for your stay , bed upstairs really comfortable and good ventilation if it was to get really hot. Kitchen well equipped and shower over bath great when you get back from body boarding. All In we had a fantastic week and would return to this stunning location thanks Barry and marita

Fabulous location
We had one of our best ever Cornish holidays here. The location is perfect with a first floor balcony looking out over the beach, giving a grandstand view of the crashing waves, surfers and sunsets. The property itself is full of character and comfortable, providing for all of our needs, as well as nice touches such as a pair of binoculars, books and games and even a few little surf boards, which we didn't use. It's right on the coast path with exhilarating walks in both directions. There is even a chic bar beneath serving terrific food. You do need to keep a bag of £1 coins handy for the electricity meter and I have docked a couple of stars from the cleaning rating after finding an alarming build up of old chocolate wrappers, crumbs and even mouldy food, as well as the inevitable sand, under the sofa, spotted while doing my morning exercises, probably because the sofa itself is quite hard to move (pictures available). This did nothing to spoil our holiday (it took only a few minutes to clean up) and overall the appartment has a lovely, homely feel. We were very sad to leave it.
