Absolutely stunning apartment. Very comfortable with the most beautiful views. Would love to stay again

We had a beautiful week away at Mor Dianc, highly recommend it, fantastic setting with unbeatable seaviews. Very comfortable beds , clean, modern, massive TV, nice to have milk and biscuits on arrival, also tea and coffee supplied. The Carlyon Bay hotel was a real treat for a special meal and Charlestown is easily walked to on the coastal path. I would definitely recommend this apartment, the balcony and sea view is amazing. Car parking is easy and safe, cant really say anything negative at all

We had the most fantastic week in the most fantastic apartment! Beautiful sunsets and sunrises... Spotless and clean, all finished to a high spec with everything you could think of you would need, even a bean to coffee maker. It rained heavy one afternoon and it was no hardship to stay in and watch the weather through the panoramic windows looking over the sea (and watching the 77 inch TV) :) The apartment is situated on a beautiful quiet road and parking was easy in the allocated spot. The coastal path runs in front of the apartment gardens which you can access through a locked gate. One way takes you to Carlyon Bay beach/hotel, the other way takes you down into Charlestown. We had 2 lovely meals in the newly renovated Pier House hotel (excellent Sunday lunch) and also walked on the path through Porthpean which has lovely views further on. We found it to be a great base to get to different places and we will definitely be back! Also Aspects are an excellent company to deal with as always...

Mor Dianc Apartment is a great place to spend your holiday. Great views and well equipped. The location is ideal with the beach around 15 /20 mins walk away and Charlestown a similar distance. Charlestown was a great surprise not having heard of it before. Nice harbour with great Pubs and Eateries. One of the nicest places we have stayed in Cornwall. Will be back next year.

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Mor Dianc, amazing views super location with the south west coast path on the doorstep it offers so many opportunities to explore this beautiful coast line . As well as being within a short drive of the many outstanding local destinations.

Beautiful decor, comfy beds, fabulous views and a peaceful location. The walk down into Charlestown is very nice, as is the walk the other way to Carlyon Beach. Very handy too for Heligan and the Eden Project. We had a really relaxing time.

A wonderful place with stunning views.

High spec apartment and a home from home.

Great location to explore both locally via paths and other parts of Cornwall
