Wonderful apartment with excellent sea view. Near wonderful beach and good starting locations for trips around south-west Cornwall.

A lovely, tastefully decorated and well equipped apartment with a stunning view of Carbis Bay. We very much enjoyed sitting out on the deck and enjoying the views and the sound of the sea.

We have been to the Mermaids Purse for a number of years now and always call it our second home.

Beautifully decorated property with stunning views. Beach is clean and child friendly, with coast guards. Dog friendly at certain times in the day. There are steps leading down to the property so might not be great for those with disabilities. There is a lift further down but a little way to get to apartment on gravel path. Very quiet even though the train station is just behind the apartment. To wake up in the morning to hear the sea and see the beautiful beach is blissful! Thank you Mermaids purse see you again next year!!...
