Still Simply Stunning

Carrie and Peter   Leicester.
Date Submitted: June 03, 2009   Date of Stay: April 2009
For the second year running we have spent a wonderful, relaxing week in this beautiful apartment - and we have already booked up for next year. If this isn’t recommendation enough I would simply add that the accommodation is superb, the location is stunning, the village of Coverack is delightfully unspoiled and that, whether you wish to explore the beauty of Cornwall or simply have a totally relaxing time pottering between the apartment, the gardens and the village, you couldn’t find a better spot to stay. <br/>I strongly recommend anyone thinking of booking to go ahead and do so – before some other lucky couple beats you to it!

Fantastic Holiday

Jenny and Mike   Walsall, West Midlands.
Date Submitted: April 19, 2009   Date of Stay: April 2009
We have just returned from a week at the Coverack Headland apartment. We had a fantastic time. The apartment was clean and modern with amazing views. Coverack itself was a lovely little place and the walks around the coastal paths were stunning. The apartment was also a good base for visiting other great places on the Lizard Peninsular. We loved Kynance Cove, Mullion Cove and Kennack Sands. We welcomed the information provided by the owners and enjoyed a few of their recommended eating places, in particular The Ship Inn and The Wave. I can't imagine a better spot for a holiday and we have already decided to book again, even though we hardly ever go back to the same place twice.

Breathtaking Cornwall

Rekuda   London.
Date Submitted: March 08, 2009   Date of Stay: March 2009
This is the ideal place if you want to get away from it all; the apartment is situated in a large house that is on the cliff, so you have the bonus of unspoilt sea views from the lounge. My visit was at the beginning of March and the weather was wonderful, chilly but I was welcomed by brilliant sunshine for the majority of each day. <br/> <br/>I was left a complimentary bottle of wine by the owners, which is a really nice welcoming touch. All mod cons are included including a dishwasher. I cooked every day and found the cooker and hob really easy to use and plenty of utensils, cutlery & crockery are available. <br/> <br/>My favourite part of the day was being woken by sunrise and having breakfast on the balcony (wrapped up I might add), watching the day start and the feeling really close to nature. <br/> <br/>I have returned from my short trip completely rejuvenated and refreshed. It is the perfect winter getaway from the city. warm and cosy inside if the weather gets a little... British... but situated in close proximity to many beautiful parts of Cornwall if you can tear yourself away from the view! <br/> <br/>I'd recommend anyone going to the Roskilly Organic Farm for icecream to visit Inlight skincare - an organic skincare company that has a shop (and labratory) for its truly wonderful products. Follow the signs for 'herbal shop' before the ice cream parlour. Also, Lizard Point is a breathtaking experience. <br/> <br/>For those coming from a distance or alone and don't want to drive the full distance, I travelled to Exeter by train and then hired a car from abbeyford car hire. Excellent service & delivered my car to the station on a Sunday. Abbeyfordcarhire.co.uk <br/> <br/>I can not recommend this apartment highly enough. I urge to you take a trip to one of the most beautiful places on earth, you'll not regret it.

A delightful apartment

Sudo   Norfolk.
Date Submitted: November 15, 2008   Date of Stay: October 2008
This flat lives up to everything you see on the internet. It is well presented, clean and with all equipment you would need for a holiday. <br/>The view is to die for and anyone who loves the ocean would be happy to sit in the window and never move.

Great property - as good as advertised. Glorious outlook, very comfy, though needing a sofa as well as individual chairs. <br/>Village really nice and very accessible. Great breakfast venue - The Wave. Good restaurant - Bay Hotel. <br/>Best restaurant the New Yard (I think) near Mawgan. <br/>Recommended.

better than the best

Julia and Miklos   Budapest, Hungary.
Date Submitted: September 04, 2008   Date of Stay: July 2008
The apartment is spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, superbly equipped and has stunning views, simply the best accommodation we have ever had. We've had several email exchanges with the owner who was always friendly and very helpful. We'd certainly highly recommend this place to a friend or anybody who'd like to have an exceptionally good and peaceful time in a beautiful place. Even the rainy days were fun! Coverack is a lovely village with a good pub and the walks around the village are truly beautiful.

Coverack Apartment

Jane & James   Somerset.
Date Submitted: August 30, 2008   Date of Stay: August 2008
This is a beautiful place to stay. The apartment is lovely. The views are incredible. It is finished to a very high standard and all the equipment is of good quality. <br/>The directions and paperwork that was sent by the owners was most helpful. The recommendations that they made for local restaurants were very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. <br/>We would definitely return for another break and have told some of our friends about it too.

What a Great View

ELF   Columbia, Virginia, USA.
Date Submitted: August 21, 2008   Date of Stay: June 2008
There is truth in advertising--this rental matches the pictures on the website perfectly. The views from the apartment are just as the pictures show, the decor is lovely, and the amenities are all we needed to have a great stay. <br/>We had a splendid holiday in the Coverack area--a picture-perfect village in an amazing setting. The location is great for seeing and walking all of the Cornish area. We could take great hikes right from the apartment building as well. And sitting or dining on the deck or within the apartment both presented the most spectacular scenery. There is a great restaurant on the waterfront in town as well as a cafe that has wireless internet available along with good food. The other shops in the village have great items as well as a small green grocer and a baker on the main road. <br/>We highly recommend this rental property.

Unique destintation

Southampton22   Southampton.

We spent a week here at the end of May 08. <br/>We had a wonderful time, here are the advantages: <br/>Beautiful views of headland <br/>Excellently equipt and furnished flat <br/>Within easy walking distance of the lovely village of Coverack <br/>Lots of attractions within driving range <br/>Disadvantages are that you really need a car both to get there and to get to the attractions nearby. <br/> <br/>We would particulalry recommend the open air theatre at Minack.

Modern apartment with lovely sea views

RGR   Henley on Thames, Oxon, England.
Date Submitted: May 27, 2008   Date of Stay: May 2008
A very attractive, quiet and modern apartment on the first floor of a restored Edwardian hotel overlooking the sea. Nearby Coverack is a 20 minute stroll and Helston about 20 minutes by car. Well situated for reaching Penzance, St Ives and the many tropical gardens in the area. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone seeking a quiet retreat beside the sea with all the comforts of home.

Simply stunning

Peter and Carrie   Leicester.
Date Submitted: May 15, 2008   Date of Stay: April 2008
We have just spent the most wonderful week in this wonderful apartment. Everything completely lives up to (and probably exceeds) the impression given on the website and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. <br/> <br/>The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated and appointed - everything that we needed was there. The setting is magnificent and the views of the headland and Coverack village are beautiful. We would breakfast on the balcony and watch the fishermen retrieving their overnight catch from the bay below - delightful. <br/> <br/>Coverack itself is charming and unspoiled and the walk from the apartment to the village along the coastal path is beautiful. If like us, however, you dine at the local pub and then return home by this route remember to take a torch! <br/> <br/>The location provides easy access by car to some of Cornwall's most stunning scenery - we were particularly impressed by Kynance Cove and Lizard Point. A little further afield is the Eden Project which is a 'must see' and our return journey from the latter also provided us with an opportunity for a delicious meal at The Norway Inn (recommended by the owners of the apartment). <br/> <br/>But, despite all our sightseeing trips, it is the apartment - both the accommodation and the setting - which is the abiding memory of our stay. We walked to the end of the headland one day and looked back at the grand old building in which we were living. Perched on the rugged hill top it looked remote and romantic and we could almost imagine that we had been taken back to a gentler and more civilized age - and, in a way, we had. <br/> <br/>If you are considering booking this apartment for a quiet or romantic break then do not hesitate - do it now. We have already booked for next year!

Heaven on earth

margaret & neil   sheffield.
Date Submitted: April 18, 2008   Date of Stay: April 2008
Wow !. What a fantastic week. Granted, the sun coming in through the bedroom window every morning helped, but oh, what a location. <br/> <br/>Breathtaking views, beautiful apartment, clean apartment, fully equipped apartment. No traffic noise, no 'people' noise, this week is the most relaxing, stress free week of mine and my wife's lives. <br/> <br/>Step out of the door and you're straight on to a beautiful coastal path with breathtaking walks. Coverack village is so quaint and clean. <br/> <br/>I could go on and on, but in a nutshell, if you're looking to 'get away from it all', this is for you. <br/> <br/>Beautiful place, beautiful apartment, even a sky full of stars at night, (years since I saw that). And what a fantastically comfortable bed !!!. <br/> <br/>Loved every single minute. <br/> <br/>Margaret & Neil...Sheffield

Lyonesse exists

james and kate   London.
Date Submitted: March 27, 2008   Date of Stay: March 2008
A superb apartment that totally lives up to its website photographs and description. It is supremely comfortable and well equipped and has been refurbished with excellent taste by its owners. It waits, fully prepared, for you to step through the door. The inside is mirrored by the wonderful external environment - the Lizard peninsula is breathtaking and the seas beyond to the southwest cover the mythical land of Lyonesse. Whether you dream from the comfort of the window seat, wander gently into Coverack to eat locally caught fish or strike out more sturdily along the Coastal path which passes the front door, we are sure you will come back from this place with magic in your eyes.

Superb Short Break

Sunnybank   Marlow Bucks.
Date Submitted: March 05, 2008   Date of Stay: February 2008
We spent four nights in this lovely apartment in February 2008. It was our first short break of this kind and we could not have made a better choice of accommodation or location. <br/>Coverack is quite a small village but charming and an excellent base to explore the surrounding area. <br/>Our booking was handled directly by the owner and we received excellent service from start to finish. We received good travel instructions and comprehensive notes for arrival and things to do whilst there. <br/>As we drove into the lane and caught our first sight of the clifftop location and the beautiful views we new we had picked well and would enjoy that sight over the next few days. <br/>The apartment is exactly as the pictures show and is spacious, clean and very well presented. The window seat is wonderful to sit on and gaze out over the sea. Everything that you could want is provided, books, DVD's,maps and board games!! The owners have clearly got a great eye for detail and understand their market and this is very much appreciated. <br/>We travelled all around the area and saw some wonderful places but also loved arriving back to the apartment to stare out of the window! The cliff walks outside the door are fantastic and really clear the cobwebs. <br/>I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for high quality accommodation, breathtaking views and a good base for accessing the local sights. <br/>Thank you to the owner for a great time - we will be back sometime in the not too distant future <br/>Debbie and Mick <br/>Marlow, Buckinghamshire <br/>5.3.2008

Comments from Owner Guestbook

'It's November - the waves are crashing onto the dramatic Headland and I'm sitting cosily behind the hugest bay window, taking it all in! Fantastic apartment with everything you could need...I don't usually like going back to the same place twice - this apartment is the exception! - Gill Davis, Farnborough, Hants <br/> <br/>'The apartment is beautiful and the views amazing. We had a lovely time and slept better than for ages, thanks to the comfortable bed.' - Dr A Loyal, Bristol. <br/> <br/>'What a refreshing break! The apartment had the most stunning views imaginable and was also very peaceful. We walked onto the Headland and stroked the ponies, went down to the beach to swim, walked into the village for lunch at the pub and also tasted the delights of Roskilly's delicious cream teas and Jersey ice cream. The apartment itself was extremely stylish and well-equipped. We would definitely return and recommend.' - W. Isles, Wimbledon, SW London <br/> <br/>"This has been one of the best weeks of my life! We loved the view of the village from the balcony in the morning - totally relaxing. At night we sat out under the stars, which was so beautiful. The flat is more than amazing. We are very thankful for the sensational week." - Abdul and Manar, Manchester, March 22. 08. <br/> <br/>"We had an excellent break away from it all, so much so that we decided to stay for another day to continue enjoying the apartment and the amazing view." - Debbie and Damian, Bournemouth 28 March, 08 <br/> <br/>"We have greatly enjoyed our time in Coverack. We could have just sat and looked out of the window the whole time! The walking on the Coastal Path was fantastic and we have really relaxed and recharged our batteries. An experience and a location which we will talk about again and again." - Paul and Chris, Ilfracombe. Feb 24, 08. <br/> <br/>"We came here for a rest after a very busy year and have had such a nice, relaxing time. The apartment is fantastic and has everything you could want." - Anne-Marie and Joe, Manchester. 1 December, 07

Hier stimmt einfach alles!Traumhaft schön!!

Date Submitted: July 12, 2009   Date of Stay: June 2009
Wir haben Ende Juni eine wunderschöne Woche in diesem Appartement verbracht.Ich schreibe diese Bewertung auf Deutsch,weil ich in meiner Sprache einfach mehr Worte finde um diesen Ort zu beschreiben.Wenn man das erste mal in die Wohnung kommt,denkt man nur Wow,alles ist sehr hell und freundlich.Kommt man dann aber ins Wohnzimmer und sieht aus dem großen Erkerfenster ist man erschlagen von dieser Lage und der unglaublichen Aussicht.Die Wohnung hat auch einen schönen Balkon von dem aus man Morgens und Abends wunderschöne Sonnen Auf und Untergänge sehen kann.Wir konnten sogar früh Morgens eine Füchsin mit ihrem Jungen beobachten.Der Fußweg nach Coverack ist sehr schön und der kleine Fischerort wirklich reizend.Dort gibt es auch einen Laden mit allem in dem wir sogar einen Adapter bekommen haben.Nicht vergessen!es gibt nämlich keine Rasiersteckdose im Bad.Man bekommt aber von den sehr netten Vermietern vorher eine ausfürliche Beschreibung der Wohnung mit allem was man wissen muss.Außerdem eine genaue Wegbeschreibung und Ausflugs und Restauranttips.Die Wohnung ist wirklich etwas ganz besonderes und es setzt großes Vertrauen seitens der Vermieter vorraus so ein Kleinod an Fremde Leute zu vermieten.Die ganze Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts.Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen.Vielleicht kommen wir ja irgendwann mal wieder.Vielen Dank an Sue und Bob!
