Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, is the setting for Winston Graham's Poldark novels. Perranporth has traditional pubs, shops, and a bucket-and-spade beach with craggy rocks and a coastal path. The community, once known for its tin, still has abandoned pump houses, mine shafts, and workers' cottages. Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum can help you learn about the area's history. Crantock and Holywell Bay have miles of sandy beaches and National Trust-owned coastal walks. A perfect Cornwall holiday base with plenty to do.

Jane
The situation was spectacular, it was comfortable (the beds especially), it was well equipped, warm and a lovely space which we shared with our family (ages ranging from 73 down to 12). As surfers and body boarders the outside "shower off " was brilliant. This was our first time in this property and entering it for the first time we were greeted by a clean, well maintained and clearly loved home as was evident by all the sea themed touches. We really hope to return. Thank you. Jane

Very clean and tidy. Everything you would need to make the stay great. Wonderful views of the surrounding area on the balcony.

Everything was great, but we couldn't find oven gloves anywhere - we had to use the tea towels, which isn't particularly safe when getting things in and out of the oven.
