Just a stroll from the beach, perched in the picturesque village of Porthcurno, on the south west coast of Cornwall, lies this lovely two-storey apartment, Longships. With the spectacular cove of soft white sand and clear azure seas just a short stroll away, this is the ideal choice for the family seaside holiday. Conveniently, leave your vehicle in the off-road parking space as you move your luggage inside the stylish abode with ease. Step inside to discover the well-presented open plan living area, flooded in natural light and decorated in light tones for a relaxed feel. There is a a fully equipped kitchen ready to prepare your favourite meal and why not take it outside and enjoy some al fresco dining? Alternatively, settle down at the dining table to enjoy a heart-warming meal and toast to your coastal escape. Afterwards, unwind on the plush sofa, with an electric fire to keep the space toasty on cooler evenings and a TV with FreeSat and DVDs to enjoy. Venture up to the first floor to find the family bathroom to indulge in a soak amongst the bubbles in the tub or relish a rinse in the overhead shower. The first floor also hosts two pretty bedrooms; throw open the French doors in the master bedroom and let the fresh sea air stream in as you take your morning coffee onto the decking area. Porthcurno lies just below the unforgettable Minack Theatre, carved out of natural rock on the cliff edge, with the sea as a magnificent backdrop. Just outside the village lies the Museum of Submarine Telegraphy which is housed in a secret wartime communications centre, whilst a short walk along the coastal path will bring you to Logan Rock or Rocking Stone, which is part of an Iron Age Cliff Castle. This is a beautiful coastal area with cliff top walks and pretty beaches and the surrounding countryside is equally lovely, where you will find tiny villages and traditional pubs. A trip to Land's End, the most westerly point in England, is a great day out or visit the stunning St Ives with its beaches, the fantastic Tate St Ives and winding lanes with plenty of gift shops. Longships is a great apartment for a holiday in a beautiful area of Cornwall.
Porthcurno is a small village on the south coast of West Cornwall, four miles from Land's End. A sandy beach, a café, a restaurant open during the summer season, and cliff-top and coastal treks are all available in the settlement.
