“We had a lovely holiday, location of the apartment was great for the beaches.”

A beautiful veiw from the apartment, which made up for the inside of the apartment. Although comfortable it was a little tired and in need of a bit of updating.

“Excellent location, well equipped apartment, only negative is the apartment smells slightly damp and there is mould on the bathroom ceiling, this definitely needs an extractor fan in it.”

Thank you for your feedback, this is much appreciated. I am pleased to confirm that an extractor fan has now been installed in the bathroom, the mould was treated and the bathroom ceiling repainted. Sykes owner relations

“Lovely spacious apartment that is well-suited for families and in a great location.”

The towels and bed linen were all very clean. However, the level of mould on the walls and ceilings throughout the apartment was unacceptable, especially in the bathroom.

Thank you for your feedback. As soon as I received your feedback I checked the property, and the bathroom ceiling, where some mould had developed over the summer due to the property being constantly booked out. This has been treated and re-painted. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Sykes owner relations

“The appointment was as described.”

Clean and tidy, with good views and beaches on the doorstep, if a bit dated in places. Superb views and sunsets and lovely walks on the doorstep. It's a shame that there is not a shop selling essentials in easy walking distance. The local pub was not to our taste, but the Tapas bar is excellent. It's also only a 30 min walk or a short drive along the coast to Watergate Bay, with more good dining options. And Newquay with all that is there is in the other direction. Although the weather was superb and really sunny, the down side of the big picture window is that the sun streams in all day. The curtains are not thick enough to shield the sun and thus keep the room cool when you are out for the day, even when fully drawn. So it would be good to have either thicker curtains or a blind as well.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. There hasn’t previously been any comment that the apartment can be too hot, but 2018 was an exceptionally hot summer for Cornwall, maybe as warm as fabled 1976. I have now added a ‘blackout’ blind to the front bedroom, and am still exploring options for the living room window, which is so important as the views are the most appealing attribute of the property. Hopefully something will be in place by summer 2019 just in case we have another warm summer. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Sykes owner relations

The property

Perfectly located for beach holidays and coastal walking this first floor flat with stunning far reaching sea views is set in the village of Porth on the coast road linking Newquay and Watergate Bay.

You park at the rear of the flat before entering via a set of stairs into the hallway taking you through to the open plan living room with kitchen, dining and sitting areas.

The view from here is spectacular and many hours could be spent in a cosy chair simply gazing out to sea.

There are two bedrooms with the double enjoying the amazing views which are just wonderful to wake up to.

Directly opposite the flat is the coastal path which will take you to a whole host of splendid beaches.

Porth beach which is 5 minutes walk away is very popular with families and has a vast expanse of flat golden sand offering safe bathing.

Whipsiderry beach is even closer but only accessed by ascending many steps but you are rewarded by a splendid much quieter beach.

Also a must visit and again only a few minutes walk away is the historic Porth island, an impressive ancient cliff fort and settlement accessed by a narrow footbridge.

For an unforgettable walk simply take the exhillarating coastal path from the flat to Watergate bay where lunch or refreshments can be enjoyed in the excellent beach cafe or for that special occasion Jamie Oliver's number 15 restaurant before returning, if the tide allows along the beach all the way to Porth.

With all Newquay has to offer and Padstow an easy and beautiful coastal drive away a stay here offers comfortable accommodation in an ideal location all year round

About the location

PORTH

Newquay 1.3 miles; Truro 15 miles.

Porth is a small seaside village on the outskirts of Newquay. The village offers a shop, cafes, restaurants and a pub on the sandy beach, plus nearby is the South West Coast Path, which boasts spectacular scenery. Watergate Bay, with its rolling waves, surf schools, cafe and pubs, is a short walk away, and the popular resort of Newquay with its beaches, watersports, pubs, restaurants, zoo and aquarium is well worth a visit. Fistral Beach and surf centre are three miles west of Porth, whilst the surf training school at Lusty Glaze Beach is actually within the village. The charming fishing village of Padstow, along with Bodmin Moor, the city of Truro, Falmouth and the world-famous Eden Project are all within easy reach, making Porth an ideal base for a Cornish getaway.
