Self catering apartment, Porthcurno, dogs welcome

"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 using 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, surfing beach at 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!

Directions

When you reach Penzance stay on the A30 and follow the signs for Land's End. Approximately 3 miles outside Penzance take the left turn signposted to the Minack. Drive through St. Buryan and continue (watching out for the hairpin bend!) until you see a left turn signposted to Porthcurno. Drive down into the valley and up the steep hill. The car park is on the left, on the hairpin bend - the two spaces for Cara are clearly marked as number 6. It's possible to stop outside the building itself for loading and unloading but please don't stay here long otherwise you will upset the residents who live along this road. To find Cara go to the communal door and up to the first floor.
