Guest Reviews

"Lovely stay at this apartment with amazing sea views. "
S Clifford, November 2024
"Better than the pictures on the website. Outstanding location just a couple flights of steps from the sea. Perfectly clean and fully equipped kitchen etc. Good quality bed and bedding. Spacious apartment, not cluttered. Views better than anything we've ever seen. Modern, private and warm."
J Stockton, April 2024
"The property was fantastic! Beautiful decor, contents and view which was unbeatable. It was extremely clean. We loved the tablet in the flat giving information and Beach Retreats is a brilliant company to book with. We have already booked for next year. We loved Porthtowan too as it's unspoiled, small and quiet."
M Phipps, November 2023
"The property is all about the view and location. When you first walk in and see the view it is simply stunning. The apartment was modern, clean and well presented. It was a delight to sit on the balcony in the evening with a glass of wine and watch the sunset and the surfers. A few steps and you are on the beach or coast path. We loved it."
H.Jasper, August 2023
"Had a wonderful week away, property was ideally located next to beach and the views it provided. Easy access that the wonderful Porthtowan has to offer. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is a nice experience."

"We had an excellent stay in a great location with everything we needed catered for. The apartment was warm and had a great balcony with double doors to let the outside in. Easy access to the coast path, the beach and the pubs, local shop etc. "
Matlock, October 2022
"We had a wonderful stay at a beautiful apartment perfectly situated to explore all of Cornwall! Contact/communication with beach retreats as well as with the owner of the apartment couldn't have been any better! The apartment is very well equipped and beautifully decorated - one can easily feel at home. The apartment has direct access to the beach which is fantastic. Furthermore you can easily start your hike on the coast trail from here. Our stay was simply perfect and we will be back!"

"Beach Retreats was efficient in every way, especially when we cancelled during COVID then need to rebook. The place was idyllic, though there was an issue with the wifi but communication between the owner, Beach Retreats and us to resolve it was excellent. Thank you, we don't want to go home!"
Wilby, September 2022
"We had a lovely stay at 3 The Beach in Porthtowan. The property was perfect in every way. Well equipped, spotlessly clean, with the most amazing view. We could not fault our stay which was supported with fabulous and quick customer service from the Beach Retreats Team. Thank you. We will be using you again and I have already started to share how amazing you are with family and friends."
Hargreaves, January 2022
"Lovely apartment. Clean and tidy. Fantastic views. Access is not for the faint hearted with the stairs, but worth it. Good base for walks. Lovely quiet beach with a chilled out restaurant and bar nearby."
J Johnson, September 2021
"This is the third time we have stayed at 3 The Beach and have already rebooked for next year. The place is just perfect with an amazing view with direct access to the beach and it is fully equipped. We love the decor."
