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.

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.

The only thing we would suggest is that there is a pot big enough to cook pasta for 5 or 6 people (we used the large frying pan for a small amount of pasta) and perhaps provide salt, pepper and cooking oil, because no one wants to travel with those things.
