About this property
Seascape is perfectly placed within easy reach of Porthcurno’s golden sands and crystal‑clear waters, backed by dramatic granite cliffs that define one of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches. Set in a tranquil valley, it’s an ideal base for relaxing by the sea, walking the cliff‑top coastal paths, and enjoying sweeping ocean views.
Just a short walk away, the famous Minack Theatre is carved into the cliffs, offering unforgettable scenes of sea and sky. Land’s End is just over three miles from Seascape, with its spectacular viewpoints and exhilarating Atlantic coastline walks.
A brief drive leads to Mousehole, a charming fishing village with a tiny harbour, pretty lanes, and plenty of galleries, restaurants, and traditional inns serving fresh seafood. Nearby Newlyn buzzes with colourful fishing boats and pleasure trips, while Penzance stretches along Mount’s Bay with shops, cafés, bakeries, pubs, and lovely waterside walks.
Following the bay brings you to Marazion and its sandy beach overlooking iconic St Michael’s Mount. From this superb coastal location, access to the beach, South West Coast Path, tennis courts, and museum is wonderfully easy.
Seascape is a light, contemporary ground floor apartment within a beautifully converted former hotel, now a detached building containing three stylish properties with a shared garden. Its double aspect windows, pale porcelain flooring, and crisp white décor create a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the open plan living space, which includes a smart kitchen and dining area. The calming bedroom features a comfortable ambience and a tastefully designed en suite shower room, perfect for refreshing after sunny days on Porthcurno Beach.
For larger groups wishing to stay close together, this apartment can be booked alongside references 985427 and 1178345, accommodating up to eight guests in total.
The small village of Porthcurno is situated four miles from Land’s End on the south coast of West Cornwall. The village has a sandy beach, a café, a restaurant that’s open during the summer season and cliff-top and coastal walks.

Seascape is clean and comfortable with easy access car parking but it is the little things that let it down. Every property I have ever stayed in over the years provides the bear essentials but we were very disappointed to find just half a toilet roll, a quarter of a bottle of Carex soap in the bathroom, just ONE bin liner in the cupboard, very basic tea and coffee sachets and no salt/pepper. I think for the price paid it wouldn't have been too much to expect a couple of loo rolls and perhaps a nice little wrapped bar of soap? A few biscuits in the welcome pack? The milk in the fridge was appreciated but considering the nearest large supermarket is a 20 mile round trip, I feel a little more effort could have been made. It felt like we were being told: "Here, don't expect any more than THAT!" I certainly never think to pack salt and pepper and also there was no cork screw so, when we sat down to relax with a glass of wine the first evening, we couldn't uncork it! The apartment is in a lovely position, the bed was comfortable but larger people would struggle with the tiny shower. Also we would have liked a lamp in the living room because you either sit in the dark watching television, or in bright light! We actually moved a small lamp from the bedroom to make it cosier. So overall the property is very clean and comfortable but no effort was made with the little things that, to me personally, mean a lot!

Perfect for the 2 of us to relax for a couple of days and walk or take the bus to travel about.
