Wonderfully located in Porthleven on the Cornish coast, this bright and cheerful apartment is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller seeking a serene seaside getaway. Inside, vaulted beamed ceilings and original stone wall details give the living room plenty of character, with large windows proffering views over the town’s rooftops. We love how sociable the open-plan layout here is, with a comfortable sectional sofa inviting cosy mornings curled up with a good book and relaxing evenings watching your favourite shows. The private patio is equipped with a bistro-style table and chairs, so greet the morning with an alfresco breakfast or enjoy stargazing over a glass of wine. With a shared outdoor shower, too, for rinsing off after a day at the beach, you’re all set to get the most out of a coastal break. Speaking of sands, you’re just a twelve-minute walk from Porthleven Beach, while a twenty-minute drive will take you to the historic tidal island of St Michael's Mount.
