Loved the position, we enjoyed our meals on the balcony, listening to the surf, watching the board riders, generally enjoying the view. During the day we either walked the beach (be mindful of the tides, nearly caught one day!) or chose the well worn path over the hill, where, thanks to the locals we discovered the coffee stop en route to the next village! The coffee shop soon became our destination rather than our waypoint!! The local store was a gem, there appeared to be nothing they could not supply-we often took their sandwiches out for lunch, it was an absolute gem, lovely staff as well! Super holiday Trevor and.

Waking up and sitting on the balcony for breakfast and ending the evening with a glass of wine with the sound of the waves lapping and the view of the sunset made it special. Every little thing to make this comfortable for us had been thought of . The local shop is well stocked and very reasonable and the cafe serves great breakfasts. The property was clean comfortable and cosy, with lots of nice beachy touches . ##### heather c. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael B. 8 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### MY LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN First time my family and I have stayed in this part of Cornwall, but wont be our last. The property is in an ideal location, 1 min stroll to the beach.. if that. The views are stunning from the little balcony, with views of the beach, sea and adjacent cliffs. The property was one of the few that allowed dogs to stay and this was amazing for us to bring our 2 very small fur babies. We as a family cant wait to stay here again - the atmosphere of the place is amazing, families on the beach watching the sunset go down having bbq's and no mess left behind. The only criticism I had was that the property decor is dated (a little lick of paint and filler)and that the sink is cracked in bathroom which could be a potential hygiene issue. Another improvement would def be an outside tap to wash off the sand before entering the property.. however these are small issues and has not in the slightest deterred me and my family from returning to this lovely place. ##### Rachael B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay 18 Nov 2013 #### Porthtowan As a last minute break, we hired the cottage in mid October and had a lovely week in Cornwall which was very quiet and easy to get around. The cottage is a little dated and worn but quite adequate for 2 adults. It would be small for 4 adults or even with 2 children as the kitchen/lounge is small and the dining facilities would be cramped. However in summer, the patio doors being open would help. There is no dishwasher and currently no washing machine, so beware if this is important. The only mobile phone signal is from the beach and internet is only available from the café beneath which made a good excuse to go for coffee/drink every evening. It is a great location for exploring that south Cornwall area and there are lots of places to walk and to visit but I am sure the roads would be very busy in summer and parking would be a nightmare. Great location for surfers! Remote car park would be more of a problem in summer or with small children. Car is almost essential in this location. Steep hills down to the village. We cycled, walked along the cliffs, played golf, swam in the public pool and visited National Trust properties and towns locally.

The Bride wanted us to have a real Cornish Experience in Porthtowan a gathering of family and friends many staying over for a week in local accommodation near the beach. We got to go into several of the Seaspray apartments and number 11 was the best. Compact but so homely, well laid out and equipped. Close to the beach, superb views/sunsets, walks, great breakfasts at café below, lively pub with good food, local shop (owner miserable) for essentials, suff shop below, welcome tea/coffee/milk and biscuits, fridge, whirlpool bath, artistically decorated, comfy beds, double bed upstairs in mezzanine, 2 single beds on ground floor, loads of storage space, well soundproofed, car parking space, wifi, books, balcony, portable heaters if needed, cooking facilities and equipment. It’s beach accommodation with sand so don’t expect 5 star but for a great, relaxing, comfortable holiday or break its absolutely ideal. I recommend it wholeheartedly and I’m real fussy. Café held a private lunch for the wedding party on Sunday afternoon and was able to supply us with equipment and food for a BBQ on the beach in the evening. All in all a great week. Gilly & Bob have a great place I bet even in winter months it would be lovely. Could only tick 5 "recommended for" below but this accommodation would be suitable for most people young and older (we are fit 50s). The accommodation is compact and the surroundings are sandy and a bit hilly so this may present some issues for those with severe disabilities. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melina N. 24 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Den Ausblick auf das Meer und den kurzen Weg zum Wasser haben wir am meisten genossen :) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a1777a19-407d-41d8-ae10-1834b70db1d2-1761304166817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melina N.
