Dr Lister
Great location and views of sunrise over Carbis Bay. We saw seals on several days from the apartment window. Handy for the bus station and train station but the walk to/from town might be a problem with limited mobility - either steep road or a couple of flights of steps to Carrack Widden. Good parking slot for this flat.

The position of this property with its dedicated parking place and outstanding views over Porthminster beach and the bay beyond, make this property very desirable. Having the beds made up for your stay and towels provided is also welcome after a long journey.
