About this property
There are dazzling ocean views from the gorgeous spacious wraparound entrance conservatory and sun deck. With stylish coastal interior and a Caribbean-like beach practically on the door step, Porthcurno Bay View has it all! Part of the historic former Porthcurno Hotel, it is perfect for a romantic break, a laid-back jaunt with friends or for a traditional seaside family holiday. The whole place oozes comfort, luxury and style. A fabulous sociable dining room also affords fantastic coastal views; a sitting room, again with views, furnished with big comfy sofas beside a gas fired faux contemporary style wood burner and an enviably equipped spacious kitchen fitted with a Smeg fridge and a Range are also on this level. Upstairs a master bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a third bedroom which can be presented as a double or a twin. This beachside bolthole is located in Porthcurno, described by many as a paradise. The picturesque village nestles in the fold of a valley on Cornwall's south coast just west of Penzance, and boasts sapphire skies, azure seas, powder white sand and an unhurried vibe. In warm weather set off with a picnic or a book to a quiet corner of the gardens or relax with a barbecue in the enclosed rear courtyard. Walkers will feel the lure of the scenic coastal footpath, or visit The Minack, the outdoor theatre carved into the granite cliff face with stage set against the glorious panoramic backdrop of sea and sky. Famed as one of Cornwall's premiere holiday destinations and an officially designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this holiday haven delivers recreation and relaxation in spades!
The small village of Porthcurno is situated four miles from Land’s End on the south coast of West Cornwall. The village has a sandy beach, a café, a restaurant that’s open during the summer season and cliff-top and coastal walks. To the west of Porthcurno is the famous Minack Theatre, which is a superb open air venue with 750 seats and boasts views across Porthcurno Bay to The Lizard.

The welcome pack was unexpected but was a really good touch. Lots of info available and peoples feedback on various places in a book. All bags, wash pods washing up liquid were provided. Beds nice and comfy. This gave us a quiet break and walking distance to Minnack Theatre! Little gem!

And appreciated the welcome bottle of bubbles. The owner responded quickly to queries. We were disappointed that there appeared to be no way to recycle the usual items. We took these items home with us for appropriate disposal. As others have noted, there was a bit of movement noise from the apartment above.
