Gool Perran Lowen - Happy St Piran's Day in Cornish!
St Piran's Day, celebrated on March 5th, is the national day of Cornwall, named after one of Cornwall's patron saints. According to legend, St Piran, a 5th century Irish Abbot, was thrown into the sea in Ireland tied to a mill stone; somehow he washed up on the Cornish coast still alive. He made Cornwall his new home and became the patron saint of tin-miners after rediscovering tin smelting.
Today, Cornwall still celebrates his heritage. On the closest Sunday to St Piran's day, Perranorth hosts one of the largest St Piran's celebrations. Held at the dunes on Perranporth, a play is performed to re-enact St Piran's life. Spectators are welcomed and encouraged to dress in black, white and gold, the colours of Cornwall.
Other celebrations will be held in various locations across Cornwall.

A lovely well kept apartment in a great location for town and beach. Free parking is a real bonus too. Aspects staff were so helpful in ensuring we had a great holiday. Thanks!
Mr Brown Jul 2019
captains nest was even better then the pictures, it is very big and open plan but still remains cosy and also has lovley decor, the apartment is literally within walking distance of everything in the town centre, aswell as beaches and supermarkets across the road and next door which was ideal for us, i couldnt recommend this apartment enough and will hopefully be able to return next year and more years to comeit does get a bit chilly in some of the rooms in the apartment so maybe extra blankets or a dressing gown upon visiting would be a good shout its deffenitly worth the extra layers just for a stay in this beauitiful apartment.

We are glad to hear that you had such a great time here. Thanks for letting us know about the heating as this isn't something that has ever been fed back to us before. Each heater has an individual thermostat so that room temperatures can be adjusted individually. We will keep a close eye on further feedback, in case it is highlighted again and needs further investigation. Thanks again, and we hope to see you back here soon. Tanya, Customer Services
Great centrally located apartment close to amenities with good off street parking. Ideal base for exploring
Mr Robertson Apr 2019
This is a fabulous location and lovely flat - we would stay here again. Flat can be chilly in some rooms so come prepared but for the price it is a great find. It is close to Asda, next time we would not bother bringing anything. Highly recommend Kahuna very close by for fabulous take away. WiFi is v good which kept the teenagers happy!
Ms Tytherleigh Nov 2018
Great location with parking. Close to shops, pubs and beaches so no need to use the car. You even get a sea view !
Mrs Godfrey Sep 2018
The price of the apartment was very reasonable so we were worried it would be very small or in a bad area. However the location was excellent, very convenient and the apartment was so bright, clean, new, stylish and spacious. We really loved it and felt very comfortable. We had a problem with the hot water which was resolved within hours - really very good service and our request for a clothes airer was dealt with within minutes! Really very excellent service, we could not have asked for more and will definitely be booking with Aspect again, thanks to everyone in the office for looking after us.

A beautiful flat with great views, felt very homely. Already thinking about next year. Never heard a sound from the restaurant downstairs and the record shop is only open during the day when you are out exploring anyway. A great little find.
