Plot your coastal escape to this stylish apartment in the seaside village of Porthtowan. Within a short walk of one of the UK's top surfing spots at Porthtowan beach, guests can don their wetsuits and head for the waves during the day and spend cosy evenings enjoying each other's company in warm surroundings, perhaps with a marshmallow laden hot chocolate and a good film.

Contemporary and open-plan, the interiors are a welcome haven after a day in the fresh sea air. The two sumptuous bedrooms are dotted with nautical details to reflect the surroundings and offer soft linens to sink into and truly unwind as the day draws to an end. Then, when the sun begins to rise, throw open the patio doors and enjoy breakfast alfresco with the sound of the gulls in the distance.

While exploring the rock pools and following the South West Coastal Path, look out for the occasional dolphin, seal and basking shark that call these swirling waters home. If you fancy venturing further, some of Cornwall's most popular attractions are nearby including The Eden Project (32 miles) and Land's End (30 miles), as well as the renowned seafood eateries in Padstow (31 miles) and St. Ives (20 miles).
