Right by the beach

Location very good...beach in two minutes. Could have been cleaner and TV a bit high for comfort. Had to use a chair for bedside table. Everything we needed was there, including wet suits and buckets and spades. Sunsets were superb from the dinner table!

Good

Good... accommodation met everyone's needs and requirements. The living area and rooms are all of a good standard. The location and ease of access is good with the village having all you need 2 pubs/bars coffee/cafe ice cream and tourist beach wares shop....there is a Tesco about 15 minutes away for bigger shops. The Beach is magnificent at low tide huge stretches of sand and surf. The blue bar is worth a visit to watch the sun go down with a chilled beverage..full of locals and visitors all chilling in a relaxed atmosphere....oh and the WiFi was quick enough for a 14 year old and his Xbox while the 12 year old was calling friends online....so we got peace and quiet on the master bedrooms little veranda....again with a chilled beverage or 3. A visit to St. Agnes was nice ...if you are lucky the local seals might say hello.

Fabulous family apartment

This apartment is in a perfect location for a family holiday. Easy walk to the beach. Everything you may need for your stay is provided and welcome hamper on arrival a lovely surprise. Our family had a wonderful week here and hopefully we’ll visit again. Emma was always available to contact and kept us informed prior to the holiday. Shame it was only a week

Summer stay in Porthtowan

Fantastically located lovely apartment with plenty of space for parents and three teens. Fully equipped with everything we needed and the welcome pack was a really thoughtful addition. Communication with Emma was brilliant and we would highly recommend the apartment -especially for its location to the beach!! We’ve been coming to Porthtowan since the children were small and it’s a testimony to the fact that at 19,18 and 15 they’ve ask to come back year 7 years in a row. Officially our happy place!!!

Wir hatten einen perfekten Aufenthalt in dieser Wohnung, die super Lage in Porthtowan, tolle, ausreichend vorhandene und superbequeme Betten dazu eine kleine Terrasse, um den abendlichen Sonnenuntergang zu genießen. Dazu viele Ausflugstipps und diverse Strandspielsachen für Groß und Klein zur freien Nutzung. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

The Property is located in the perfect spot to visit both north and South Cornwall and also has many local attractions (walks, beaches, surfing). The property itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay, it is vey well equipped and spacious. Communicating with Emma is very easy, she replies within the hour.

Excellent accommodation with nearby beach and coastal walks

The apartment was very well laid out and maintained, with all facilities well explained. As a family group we found it invaluable being able to easily split our time between being on the beach/in the sea, going on coastal walks and having meals & drinks in local bars/restaurants - all within a few minutes walk of the apartment. It was also very handy being within easy driving distance of many of Cornwall's top tourist sites. We strongly recommend the apartment as a holiday destination.

Amazing!

The property is just up the hill from the beach. It's a perfect location for a beach holiday, giving everything you need for a great stay. We were very comfortable. Emma is just fantastic - seriously so. Our child damaged one of her chairs and she was just so understanding about it. She provided such a nice welcome package of food as well, we were totally blown away. She also let us watch one of the movies she had downloaded from Disney Plus. Really, really wonderful, which makes your stay that much better! Re wetsuits - Emma has a hose so you can rinse them outside - a must if you're surfers/body boarders like us and come up from the beach covered in sand and salt water. I can't rate this place more highly.

Ideal location

Perfect location only 3 minutes walk to the beach. Stunning sunset views from patio area and lounge. Very spacious, photos do not do this apartment justice! Kitchen very well equipped with large fridge freezer enabling easy full self catering, but the fish and chip shop is fantastic if you want a take away. Owner Emma is very good at communicating. The only thing missing is a tumble dryer for that typical damp Cornish atmosphere! Overall a fabulous apartment in a lovely setting, perfect beach holiday for young children.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Porthtowan after coming here on holiday, with our two children, for the last few years.
