    “Lovely apartment, didn’t manage to use the balcony as the weather wasn’t in our favour, we would definitely recommend staying here, ensure you check the car parking space measurements, big cars will not fit, especially if they are long.”

    The only thing we found missing was in the double room upstairs no suitable mirror.

With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort. The surrounding area has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous coastal walks, top quality surfing and the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula are all within easy reach. A superb destination!
