Walking into the apartment was so lovely having spent years camping this was luxury. They really have thought of everything and the little touches of cooking equipment and games made the week so much easier. It is so well decorated and relaxing we loved it

A beautifully furnished and comfortable apartment. The kitchen was very well equipped which means if you like cooking everything is available and it feels like a real home from home. The owner has thought of everything down to a rainy day box. I can recommend this to anyone.

The property was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Felt warm and inviting & safe with an allocated car park space, in a beautiful location approx 5 minutes walk from the beach. Just made for two (and a little one in a travel cot!!). Easy commuting by car to other places such as Newquay, St.Ives & the Eden project. Also near the beach is a bar/restaurant, cafe, shop and an ice cream parlour, what more can you ask for.......oh yes sunshine please!

Make up of party:  Couples or as we had a young baby also.

Stunning little apartment in a cute little surf town with a gorgeous beach - oh to still be there! V. clean and modern apartment with nice touches, such as balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper etc in the cupboard and a rainy day box. Perfect base for touring round Cornwall - we went to Falmouth, Mevagissey, Fowey, St Ives, Padstow, Port Isaac, Minack Theatre, St Agnes, the Lizard peninsula, so pretty much everywhere. We would definitely stay again.

I just had to write a review about the fantastic week my husband and I spent at the cove apartment. The weather was glorious and because the apartment is only a stones throw from the beach we really felt like we were living the cornish dream. We surfed every day and had sundowners at the blue bar and witnessed the most amazing sunsets. The apartment was beautifully presented and fully equipped for all our needs and it is remarkably well situated for everywhere we wanted to go. I really cant recommend this holiday enough, we will be back next year.
