Beach and Beyond.

Loved the position, we enjoyed our meals on the balcony, listening to the surf, watching the board riders, generally enjoying the view. During the day we either walked the beach (be mindful of the tides, nearly caught one day!) or chose the well worn path over the hill, where, thanks to the locals we discovered the coffee stop en route to the next village! The coffee shop soon became our destination rather than our waypoint!! The local store was a gem, there appeared to be nothing they could not supply-we often took their sandwiches out for lunch, it was an absolute gem, lovely staff as well! Super holiday Trevor and. Margaret from Australia.

Our stay was very nice, well equipped apartment got everything in it for the stay except a washing machine, close to the beech, pub and breakfast cafe - only downside was had to put 3 pound in electric meter along with owner left 2 pound - no big deal really but price paid would of expected that to be included - we loved it and previous year 2022 stayed 2 doors away.

total relaxation

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your property, our stay was all about relaxing and that's exactly what we got and we were lucky to have perfect weather too, the local beaches with their crystal clear waters and stunning sunsets where couples and families gather every evening to see were perfect. Waking up and sitting on the balcony for breakfast and ending the evening with a glass of wine with the sound of the waves lapping and the view of the sunset made it special. Every little thing to make this comfortable for us had been thought of . The local shop is well stocked and very reasonable and the cafe serves great breakfasts. The property was clean comfortable and cosy, with lots of nice beachy touches .

MY LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN

First time my family and I have stayed in this part of Cornwall, but wont be our last. The property is in an ideal location, 1 min stroll to the beach.. if that. The views are stunning from the little balcony, with views of the beach, sea and adjacent cliffs. The property was one of the few that allowed dogs to stay and this was amazing for us to bring our 2 very small fur babies. We as a family cant wait to stay here again - the atmosphere of the place is amazing, families on the beach watching the sunset go down having bbq's and no mess left behind. The only criticism I had was that the property decor is dated (a little lick of paint and filler)and that the sink is cracked in bathroom which could be a potential hygiene issue. Another improvement would def be an outside tap to wash off the sand before entering the property.. however these are small issues and has not in the slightest deterred me and my family from returning to this lovely place.

Cornwall Retreat

We came down for a wedding at the EcoCentre in Sept2014. The Bride wanted us to have a real Cornish Experience in Porthtowan a gathering of family and friends many staying over for a week in local accommodation near the beach. We got to go into several of the Seaspray apartments and number 11 was the best. Compact but so homely, well laid out and equipped. Close to the beach, superb views/sunsets, walks, great breakfasts at café below, lively pub with good food, local shop (owner miserable) for essentials, suff shop below, welcome tea/coffee/milk and biscuits, fridge, whirlpool bath, artistically decorated, comfy beds, double bed upstairs in mezzanine, 2 single beds on ground floor, loads of storage space, well soundproofed, car parking space, wifi, books, balcony, portable heaters if needed, cooking facilities and equipment. It’s beach accommodation with sand so don’t expect 5 star but for a great, relaxing, comfortable holiday or break its absolutely ideal. I recommend it wholeheartedly and I’m real fussy. Café held a private lunch for the wedding party on Sunday afternoon and was able to supply us with equipment and food for a BBQ on the beach in the evening. All in all a great week. Gilly & Bob have a great place I bet even in winter months it would be lovely. Could only tick 5 "recommended for" below but this accommodation would be suitable for most people young and older (we are fit 50s). The accommodation is compact and the surroundings are sandy and a bit hilly so this may present some issues for those with severe disabilities.

Beach was really wild and beautiful. Lovely coastal walks. Although the weather wasn’t brilliant we really enjoyed listening to the roar of the waves crashing on the rocks from the balcony. I would definitely recommend.
