Couples Clifftop Escape

This contemporary apartment is perched high on the cliffs above Porthtowan Beach on Cornwall’s north coast, with panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean. Ideal for couples and surf enthusiasts, the apartment has a private footpath from its balcony leading directly onto the coast path and the golden sand below. Porthtowan sits at the foot of high cliffs on a rugged stretch of north Cornwall’s coastline, with a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere all of its own. Surf hire and lessons are available on the beach, and the sand is backed by dramatic cliff faces on either side. The South West Coast Path passes right through the village, connecting a string of neighbouring beaches and coves and rewarding walkers with striking views in both directions. St Agnes, with its range of places to eat and drink, is accessible via the coast path or by car.

The apartment opens into a sleek, open-plan living area with a sofa, armchair, coffee table, side tables, and Smart TV. A door from the living area opens out to the balcony, where views stretch across the bay and out to the Atlantic. The dining space sits alongside, with a round table and two chairs set beside the kitchen area, which has a breakfast bar and two stools for more casual meals. A utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer. The bedroom has a double bed and Smart TV, flanked by two floor-to-ceiling windows that frame uninterrupted sea views and a door also opening out to the balcony. The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower, WC, and heated towel rail. An iron, ironing board, and hairdryer are provided. The apartment is reached from the car park via 63 steps down the cliffside, so this is worth considering when packing for the stay.

The private balcony has a table and two chairs with views over Porthtowan Beach and the bay beyond. A secure surf store is provided for boards and beach equipment. Access from the car park to the apartment involves descending 63 external steps down the cliffside. Allocated parking for one car is available in the car park.
