Description from owner
Description
The Old Shop apartment is a ground floor property, ideal for couples or small families to explore the region with activities, beaches, cliff-top walks and the Lost Gardens of Heligan only minutes away. Perfectly located in the village close to the main car parks, the apartment is just a short 200 metre level walk to the seafront and shops, but away from the pubs and restaurants to be quieter at night. As all of the rooms are on the same level, the apartment is ideal for anyone who prefers not to climb stairs.
There is double glazing throughout the apartment. In the lounge there is a 40 inch Freesat TV with DVD player (+ lots of DVDs) plus an Xbox 360 console (+ games).
The bedroom (at the back of the property) has a kingsize bed and a smart TV with Freesat satellite TV.
The wet-room has a shower and under-floor heating.
Superfast Wi-Fi throughout the property.
All linen & towels and electricity included.
We carry out cleaning ourselves and supervise our cleaners every single changeover day. We often get the apartment clean before 3pm (15.00) and we will let you know when the apartment will be ready on the day you are due to arrive.
Over 70% of the guests who stay in the Old Shop apartment are repeat guests who come back year after year.
Saturday is our normal changeover day and we operate on a weekly basis (i.e. Saturday to Saturday).
Sorry, no pets allowed.
There are 2 car parks close by: The Sunny Corner car park (about 20 metres away) and the Willow car park (about 100 metres away). Discounted permit available for the Willow car park. Please contact us for more information about parking.
If you have any questions about the Old Shop apartment, please ask and we will be glad to help.
We look forward to welcoming you to stay - John and Kate
