Lovely flat perfectly located for exploring the eastern end of Cornwall. All amenities close at hand, perfect place to relax after a hard day's enjoying ourselves. The flat is spacious, light and airy, well heated (we went in October) and very well equipped. We had a great stay, 6 stars out of 5!

Great location within walking distance of a number of attractions and driving distance to the Eden Project. Charlestown is delightful and even better in the evenings when the majority of day trippers have gone.

We found the apartment very clean and tidy and well equipped. It is ideal base for touring the local coastal villages etc. There is a bus stop right outside which serves all the places in St Austall bay. We had an issue with the boiler which was efficiently sorted out by the representative. All in all a good place to stay

It was a lovely apartment, and easy to get everywhere we needed whilst in Cornwall. The apartment was warm and it was very helpful to have some dishwashing equipment and the pint of milk . My only criticism was with the Wi-fi signal which was not good even for basic requirements.

Very comfortable stay. an alarm did go off in the building, but this may have been triggered by a short local power cut.
