Fabulous view from the living room, main bedroom and balcony. Well equipped and beautifully presented. Graham the owner was welcoming and very helpful. Position at the top of the headland made walking to town or the seafront a bit of a steep trek but more than made up for by the view. We chose to go twice to the sandy beach at Burgh Island, an hour away, but it was always great to come back to the apartment and sit having dinner on the balcony.

Stunning view topped off by swinging chair on the balcony! Comfortable sofas and beds. The best fluffy towels. Very clean. Has everything you need for your holiday including washing machine and dishwasher. Could do with an airer for longer stay there may have been one but I spent so much time on the swing chair I may not have noticed it! It was so good to have a parking space too! Quiet and peaceful location. There's a few steps down to apartment but that is on the ad. Just to be mindful if you have any mobility issues couple of steps inside flat too. My only gripes and they are minimal was the toaster button didnt always stay down and not enough mugs. Wifi a bit hit and miss with signal. Ceiling fan when turned on sounded loose. Check in was 5pm whereas a lot of places is 3pm. Town few minutes drive or if you like a hilly walk maybe 20 mins down over the bridge and a lovely promenade walk you could be mistaken in the sunshine for being abroad! I would definitely book again!
