Guests say

This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Offshore is a well-received apartment in Porthtowan, praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches like welcome gifts. Its proximity to the beach and local pubs, particularly the Unicorn, is highly appreciated, although some guests noted issues with privacy and noise. Despite minor concerns, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests eager to return.

Cleanliness

Guests consistently noted the apartment was clean and welcoming upon arrival, with several reviews highlighting its immaculate condition. One mention of a mold issue, however, slightly impacts the otherwise stellar feedback.

Location

The location is frequently praised for its proximity to the beach, local amenities, and the RNLI-patrolled Porthtowan beach. The convenience to Cornwall's attractions is also a plus, though privacy concerns due to foot traffic were mentioned.

Comfort

The apartment is generally described as comfortable and well-appointed, with a home-from-home feel. Some guests mentioned issues with the main oven and water pressure, but these were minor compared to the overall comfort experienced.

Facilities

Facilities are well-regarded, with guests appreciating the well-equipped apartment and outside decking area. However, reports of a non-functioning main oven, difficulty with the shower head, and noise from the upstairs apartment suggest some room for improvement.

Thoughtfulness

Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches, such as dog blankets, toys, and welcome gifts like cream teas. While these gestures are warmly received, it is important to note that such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

About this property

Situated within the coastal village of Porthtowan this ground floor apartment is just paces from the award winning beach popular for swimming, surfing and sandcastles. Offshore forms part of a small development on a no-through road that leads to the beach. The accommodation is on one level with nine steps down to the front door. Open plan living area and dining area with well equipped kitchen and 34" TV. There is a double bedroom and another bedroom with a 4ft bed and a single upper bunk. Both rooms have wall mounted TV's. The family shower room has a walk in shower, basin and WC. There is a sun deck, leading from the double doors in the sitting area, which is perfect for relaxation. Porthtowan is a lively community which has a deli, a small supermarket and pubs for all your refreshment needs. The children's playground at the head of the beach will keep the little ones entertained too. Enjoy lunch in the seaward facing Blue Bar, the much favoured après-surf café. Spectacular sunset views across the ocean make a rewarding reason to linger with a nibble or tipple. At low tide, you can walk to the equally superb Chapel Porth Beach or venture along the clifftop footpath, eastbound to St Agnes or westwards to Portreath. Further up the north Atlantic coastline are Trevaunance Cove, Newquay and Watergate Bay. Breathtaking Land's End is a worthy destination. Stop off at picturesque St Ives and browse the quirky boutiques, gift shops and art galleries. Falmouth is a 30 minute drive away, with Maritime Museum and historic Pendennis Castle ready for exploration. Offshore is light and airy with coastal inspired décor, a must stay for families, friends, surfers and couples after a relaxing or active holiday

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. A renowned surfing beach, patrolled by lifeguards during the summer season, the beach is also ideal for families with children. Surf hire and tuition is available on the beach and there pubs cafes, a beach shop in the town. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, cliff top walks along the South West Coastal path feature some spectacular scenery and lead east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The city of Truro is 10 miles brimming with fine restaurants, cafes and shops. Whilst the vibrant maritime town of Falmouth is a little over 30 minutes drive and well worth a visit for its Maritime museum and varied selection of galleries and gift shops. There are days out for families and children at Flambards theme park in Helston and the Seal Sanctuary in Gweek. A great base for couples or families alike.
