About this property

This two bedroom apartment is located in The Old Hotel in The Valley at Porthcurno, only a five minute stroll from the beach, coastal path and Minack. Equally perfect for couples or a small family, The Watch is a beautiful place to stay, refreshing and inviting, with quirky features to compliment your holiday experience. Enter into the hallway where you will discover an open-plan sitting room graced with sea views, and a small balcony, which brings you closer to the enticing surroundings. Inside, neutral colours create a soothing place to unwind, with slanted ceilings above, and an electric fire to bring warmth on those cooler evenings. The cream sofas offer the perfect chance to relax, with a table for six situated by the kitchen, ideal for breakfast time or meals after the sun goes down. The bedrooms match the light and neutral theme of the cottage wholeheartedly, each laced in whites and blues for an almost ocean feel, elevated by natural light from the window which welcomes the inspiring outside in. Ample storage is available, and the bathroom benefits from both a bath and a shower for a quality finish. Penzance, 9 miles, with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must, as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Scilly Isles. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs. A special retreat in a magnificent part of Cornwall.

The town of Penzance has winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and a harbour, from where you can enjoy day trips to the Scilly Isles. The South West Coast Path passes through Penzance on its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End, and the National Trust owned St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens is well worth visiting.

    Literally couldn’t fault a thing! Really clean, spacious, we all loved staying in The Watch. Already talking about when we are going to book to go back!

  • Erika

    We found the freezer to be very noisy, so needed to turn up the TV when we were watching it. WiFi didn't work very well in the lounge so if you need it, you may have to use it in the bedrooms. But apart from these relatively minor issues, we found the apartment to be very comfortable, light and much bigger than the photos give the impression of. Ideally situated for the Minack, beach and lots of walking. There were actually 2 parking spaces, not just the one as per description. Oh, and the pub has now closed down.

    Really convenient location for the Minack Theatre, beach and costal path. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!
