Puffin

Couples and families of up to four will find Puffin works well for a coastal break in south Cornwall. The apartment sits on the ground floor of a beachside building in Portscatho, a working fishing village with a post office, galleries, and several pubs within easy reach. The South West Coast Path runs past nearby, and Tatums Beach is steps away; Porthcurnick Beach takes about 10 minutes on foot.

The layout gives you a living and dining space with patio doors opening onto a balcony where you can take in views across Gerrans Bay. One bedroom has a double bed, the other a single. Two bathrooms—an ensuite off the main bedroom and a separate shower room—mean mornings run smoothly. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering, with an electric oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher and washing machine. Wifi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. The property is non-smoking throughout.
