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.
