"Shellseekers" named after the book by Rosamunde Pilcher, is a 2-bedroomed apartment in an attractive building, once part of the Cable & Wireless training school. It's situated in the picturesque valley of Porthcurno approx 400 yards from one of the most spectacular beaches in the country as shown here. It's just ¼ mile from the famous Minack Theatre. Land's End and the sandy "Blue Flag" beach of Sennen Cove are just 3 miles away. Porthcurno beach cafe, Cable Station Inn and Porthcurno Stores all within walking distance.

Reviews

Perfect location for the Minack Theatre and great walks along the cliffs.

The apartment was everything we hoped for, especially the broadband!  The best bit was seeing 2 basking sharks, 3 dolphins and a seal.

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 - Zodiac House is the white building on the righthandside, opposite the tennis courts. There is a gate across the entrance - for loading and unloading purposes only it is possible to drive through this gate. To find Shellseekers go through the gate at the side of the property and the entrance to the central block is in the back left corner. The car park is opposite the apartments and the allocated parking space is to the left of the post marked "9".
