First and Last Cottages - Cara, Cyan - self catering apartment, Porthcurno, Cornwall

"Cara", Cornish for "love" is a first floor 2-bedroomed apartment perched high above Porthcurno beach with breathtaking views of Porthcurno and Pedn Vounder beaches and the Logan Rock. On a clear day you can see the Lizard point in the distance. Cara has the largest balcony of all the apartments, ideal for enjoying an al fresco meal or a morning coffee whilst taking in the magnificent views. The apartment has been designed and equipped with style and flair and neutral colours, top notch kitchen fittings and appliances add to the contemporary decor. It's situated approx 500 yards from one of the most spectacular beaches in the country as shown below and about 50 yards from the entrance to the famous Minack Theatre. Land's End and the sandy "Blue Flag" beach of Sennen Cove are just 3 miles away. The valley has a local pub, two tennis courts, and a beach cafe which serves delicious cream teas and crab sandwiches. The Logan Rock Inn at Treen is a five minute drive or a 20 minute cliff walk away.

Everyone who has stayed so far has been reluctant to leave, particularly the week when there were eight basking sharks in the bay to watch, just yards from the shore!
