Set amidst the vibrant, Cornish town of Perranporth Alma House is a newly renovated beach retreat, a stones throw from Perranporths famous golden sands. Set just off of the Beach Road with your own parking space, Alma House is tucked away but centrally located to shops, eateries and of course the beach, with a coastal breeze drifting in from the beach, is this wonderfully presented mid-terrace cottage awaiting your arrival. This luxurious, cottage exudes a sleek quality finish. The helpful kitchen comprises opulent units and worktops, tied together with ultra modern fixtures to aide your stay comfortably. A lovely sitting area centres on an electric imitation woodburner adding character to the room, together with nautical themed house-hold accessories.
Step up to the first floor which is elevated by a rejuvenating, neutral colour scheme and comprises the king size room and children's bunks, alongside the family bathroom. A set of steep stairs take you up to the second floor and nesting in the eaves of the roof is a double bed accompanied by a stylish en-suite shower room. Filled with light by the Velux window, this is a lovely, extra space to get ready for the day ahead in peace. Another Velux window compliments the bedroom along with a feature brick wall. Outside of the property you can enjoy the enclosed tiered garden, hosting a variety of plants and flourishing wildlife.
Take the time to explore this coastal town boasting traditional pubs and shops aplenty with a classic beach overlooking a beautiful coastal path. Alma House 2 benefits from being only a stones throw from the gorgeous Perranporth Beach, with 3 miles of beautiful sandy beach. A short distance away is the St. Agnes Heritage Coast marinated in stunning, unspoilt scenery where lovers of the outdoors can make use of the walking, cycling and surfing opportunities. Enjoy the natural surroundings from this idyllic Cornish retreat.
Perranporth, a Cornish coastal town offering plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the history of this coastal area. Further afield are the beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust.

Some of the white goods and outdoor furniture in need of replacement. Very surprised to discover that your expected to put out the previous guests rubbish for bin collection on Monday morning which clearly had not been done for some time. Owners reacted extremely quickly when contacted but should have been dealt with before our arrival

The house is well equipped and had everything we needed. On arrival the house was clean and tidy, the beds are really comfortable! Lovely suntrap in front garden with a table and chairs to enjoy the evening sun. This was our 1st stay at Alma House and we loved it. Looking forward to returning in August.

The only thing I would say its not suitable for more than 2 older people , because the stairs to the top floor bedroom is very steep. I think a double bed should be in the place where bunk beds are, but if you are a fit older person , then go for it. Thanks for a great holiday
