This is a lovely comfortable flat with a wonderful unimpeded view over Porthminster Beach and beyond. Allocated undercover parking is a definite plus in St Ives and it is just a short walk to the town and beaches which makes its location ideal. We return regularly to Carrack Widden and are never disappointed.
