About the owner
We have lived in Cornwall for 35 years and absolutely love it. In the summer we work in our Watersports business near St Tropez, and come back to Cornwall for the Autumn and winter and always find time to go snowboarding as often as possible. Our big love being adventure sports and boating. We love both the Penthouse and La Brigantine as both apartments have wonderful views and nothing can beat a relaxing evening sitting sipping wine and watching the sunsets at Clipper Cove in Cornwall or at La Brigantine in France. A great way to relax and enjoy life and there is so much to do and enjoy at both locations our guests are bound to have a wonderful time.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We saw the Penthouse being built and thought the position (right by the sea) was fabulous, when we viewed we knew that this apartment would give guests the most wonderful holiday. The views are so special and the beach is just outside the door across the green. I love Praa Sands because it is unspoilt and quiet, you can be the only person on the beach on a stunningly sunny day in spring, and what a tonic that is! Peace and quiet. Praa Sands is easy to get to by train or road and Newquay Airport is only 45 minutes away by car. I am so proud to be able to offer first class accommodation in our lovely part the world, and the thank you emails and letters I have received confirm I made the right choice.
Unique benefits of the property
The great thing about Praa Sands, is it is easy to visit some of the most fabulous venues. St Michaels Mount and Marazion (wild bird sanctuary) St Ives, Porthleven, Minack Theatre, Lands End, Falmouth are all close by.
Praa Sands Golf Club is walking distance, and the Cornish coastal footpath is on the doorstep. We are surrounded by National Trust Gardens and properties, the latest acquisition Godolphine House, being 10 minutes away by car. I must mention the weather, somehow we seem to get the best of it at Praa Sands, the Penthouse is sheltered in most wind directions and sitting looking out through the Juliet balcony doors on most days feels really warm, a true suntrap, lovely. Also we benefit from the underfloor geothermal heating which keeps the Penthouse toasty in the winter.
