Capricorn

Description

Capricorn is a brilliant bolthole for exploring the local area. This modern, first floor apartment offers an open plan kitchen and lounge leading to the balcony with sea views. Just a few minutes' walk away from the South West Coastal Path and the perfect base for exploring the spectacular coastal scenery. The open-air Minack Theatre, carved out of the natural rock on the cliff edge, is close by where you can watch a performance with the sea as a magnificent backdrop. The apartment offers free use of the tennis courts in the valley and the village pub is convenient for those days when cooking is just too much effort! The Porthcurno beach cafe is 3 minutes' walk, ideal for morning coffee or a cream tea. The Porthcurno Telegraph Museum is also located in the valley and well worth a visit. The perfect accommodation for couples and a furry friend seeking a retreat away from everyday life.

Local Area

The spectacular coastline spanning the southern edge of West Cornwall is home to some truly idyllic, picturesque villages and hamlets. From Mousehole in the east (where one of the county’s most impressive Christmas lights display can be found), along the coast to Porthcurno, where the world-famous Minack Theatre is located, right round to Sennen Cove and Land’s End; the county and country’s most south-westerly point.

The approach to Sennen is along a winding lane through beautiful moorland and as you start the descent into the village you can’t help but spot the white-crested waves heading onto shore making Sennen Cove Cornwall’s popular surf hotspot. With a mile of soft white sand and a picturesque harbour, the village combines a working fishing port with an easy-going surf style.

The area’s beaches are a draw for holidaymakers and locals alike and offer great surfing and safe bathing within flagged areas. A range of local independent shops, galleries, cafés and eateries are all within an easy walk along the seafront.

The striking cliffs and mighty ocean are contrasted by the peaceful countryside; enjoy both extremes or, for a totally different experience, explore the area’s mining heritage or take the short drive to Penzance and sample the shops, pubs and restaurants of the town. St Ives, with its art galleries, beaches and foodie culture, is just over half an hour’s drive.
