Set on the beachfront of Porthmeor, you'll be in the perfect spot for sunset. Just moments from galleries and restaurants it is arguably one of the most interesting properties in the town. Enter through the front door (which is a piece of history in itself) and you'll be greeted by a feeling of warmth and the space that opens out within... Old Saltings is a wonderfully spacious apartment on one floor, sleeping upto 6 guests. As you enter you'll be greeted by a large entrance hall with space for outdoor gear. Head on in and the wood panelled hallway leads you to the bedrooms, bathrooms and the living space ahead. The master bedroom has courtyard views, king bed and an ensuite shower room with mirrored ceiling. There is a further king bedroom with slipway views. The bunk room is a really fun layout consisting of two single beds going toe to toe. The master bathroom is just down the hall... Step into the living area and you'll be amazed by the space whilst being drawn to the window seat to gaze at the sea views. It's a very sociable set up in here, with a dining table for 8, comfortable L shaped sofa, the window seat (our favourite perch) and a writing desk if needed. The kitchen is very well equipped with high quality appliances and stainless steel work tops. The pantry has some basic ingredients and items such as a food processor. Off the living area, is a glass panelled studio space, ideal for digital nomads or getting creative with the arts materials. Travellers are welcome to use the space and to treat it as home. We have some locked cupboards in the hallway and one in the living/kitchen area. Saltings is managed by Sam and Lizzy along with their wonderful housekeeping team.
