  • "Apartment was very cosy and clean."

    Only complaint I had was the sink in bathroom was cracked but thankfully didn't leak and the blind near the TV had broken on the pulls

    Thank you for your feedback and comments which will be looked at and checked. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Loved our time here, the apartment had everything we could possibly need and was cosy and homely."

    Thought we would eat out most nights but we went food shopping instead and spent our evenings at the apartment as it was just so relaxing. Lovely location, just perfect really!

    Thanks for your lovely review, it's very much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed your stay in our apartment in Porthcurno. Property Owner

  • "Perfect location for me and property was ideal for a single person."

    Description was a little optimistic and I think "sleeps 2" is definitely a stretch of the imagination, I would not want to stay with a second person as only a small 2 seater sofa and bed mattress has clearly seen better days with the noises the springs were making! Also, description said there was a DVD player and there wasn't one. Shower was blocked with sand, so maybe this should be checked after every guest has left. Other than this I would definitely stay again, but solo only.

    Thank you for your feedback. We have not received any previous comments regarding the property not being suitable for two people. Thank you for your comments regarding the DVD and the shower, these will both be checked. Property Owner

    I had to leave news paper on the floors in both the dinning area and bedroom it was placed against the walls .it spoilt my xmas some what,its a shame,but I will not be looking to go back next xmas..and as you can see by your records i,ve been going down to porthcurno for a few years.

    We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to all positive reviews we’ve received for the property, none of which were flagged to us during your stay. As you’ll see to date, comments on Seascape have been complimentary throughout and yours is the first which isn’t so. We’ve spoken to the owners who disputes your statement on a leaking door seal, damp and mould and feel these comments are unfair and unjustified. It was noted on your departure that the heating had been turned up full and windows left closed for the duration of your stay. During what was an extremely wet week with continuous and relentless rain the drying of your hiking equipment caused extreme condensation, which in turn caused mould like spores to appear on the walls. The owners have checked and confirmed that the door seal is in perfect condition and there have been no reports of any 'leaks' since. The owners take their letting of Seascape very seriously and they pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences – this is reflected in the feedback we have received, and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.

    Clean and tidy, light and airy. TV posed somewhat of a challenge as did the WIFI. But didn't not deter from, what was, a fabulous break.

  • "The apartment had everything that we needed and was very clean on arrival."

    We read that the bed was a little hard, however we found it really comfy. We would of liked a more comfortable sofa, as it was hard. The washer/ dryer and dishwasher were a real treat as there items not normally supplied. I would absolutely recommend the apartment.. The position is a very short walk from the beach and some amazing costal walks, can get a little noisy in the morning with the traffic, but not an issue.

    Really clean, not a spek of dust even on skirting boards! Everything we could have needed was avaliable at the apartment. Only downside was that the mattress was a bit hard but that is up to personal preference. Would defenitely be looking to stay here again!

    Perhaps clearer signage would help? The property was perfect and the facilities amazing but we found the bed quite uncomfortable.

    Everything was lovely but it would have been nice to have a bigger shower and a tumble dryer as we washed our towels and the provided towels but as there was no where to dry them while we were out they went horrid smelling as they drip dried on the floor.

  • "It was a real shame that there were two things that partly spoilt the holiday."

    Firstly even though previous customers had mentioned online the softness of the mattress on the bed, the owners had failed to do anything about it, be warned. To say it was uncomfortable was an understatement and led to seven very uncomfortable nights. Secondly the tv in the bedroom doesn't work as no signal can be achieved, again as previously mentioned online on your website and the one in the lounge you need a degree to configure the set-up. I know a tv isn't everything on a holiday but when it's advertised it should already be set up and working. The apartment is well equipped although there was a feeling of end of season about the place and a little maintenance wouldn't go astray, given the six hours between the property being vacated and new clients being allowed to gain access. I'm afraid to rate it as a 4 star holiday accommodation is far of the mark, perhaps a two would be better? Apart from that Porthcurno is a lovely place and it's a shame the edge was taken off our holiday. Hopefully these comments will be passed to the owners for some sort of action!

  • "Was a lovely stay."

    Tv in bedroom didn’t work and the lack of WiFi was frustrating in an area with no phone signal. But in relation to our comfort and enjoyment of the property we were very happy.

  • "It is a well equipped and very clean apartment."

    It was lovely to see fresh flowers a packet of biscuits and 2 pints of milk waiting for us when we arrived, such a kind thought. Just a couple of negative points - the sofa is more of a large armchair and so cannot seat 2 people comfortably which means that a couple cannot sit together. The bed seemed comfy but the mattress was soft and I did not have a comfortable night's sleep and ended up with a bad back. But that is just personal to me, but thought it may be worth a mention in case any prospective traveller has back issues. It may also be worth mentioning that there is no mobile phone signal at the cottage or in the surrounding area. There is however wifi at the Cable Inn just up from the cottage. It is a lovely, fresh apartment and a great base for exploring the West of Cornwall.

The property

Within a few minutes walk of the sandy beach at Porthcurno, this cute ground floor apartment is nestled in a valley setting.

The apartment is within a detached building of three properties with a shared garden which forms part of a former hotel and has all the ingredients to make a superb holiday bolt-hole for couples.

Light and bright with double aspect windows, pale porcelain tiled floor and an all white décor, the contemporary styled accommodation incorporates a living room with a dining area and smart kitchen.

The bedroom has a comfortable, relaxing ambiance with a tastefully appointed en-suite shower room - perfect for washing sandy toes after a sunshine filled day by the sea.

There is pretty garden which is shared with the other apartments.

Potter down to the beach and spend the day lazing by the sea or discover the cliff paths and stunning coastal views in either direction from the cove.

Porthcurno is home to the incredible Minack Theatre, carved from the granite cliff-face with dramatic backdrop of sea and sky - a magical site to visit or watch an evening performance.

Porthcurno also has a little café and ice cream shop but for eating out we recommend heading to Sennen Cove, Mousehole or Newlyn.

Land's End is just over three miles away with its majestic ruggedly natural landscape to be enjoyed in all weathers and cliff paths encompassing the Atlantic Ocean.

This property can be booked alongside property references 985427 and 963609 to sleep in total a maximum of 8 people.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
