Cracking apartment everything you need is there very clean and very comfy. Great location and stunning views. Only downside was if you park in your parking space in the underground be ready to climb a few flights of stairs..10/10 for the apartment though..

Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Not for anyone who has trouble walking or steps. 2 steep hills & 103 steps from town. We were fine with this but others may struggle

We are glad to hear that you liked 34 Carrack Widden, and thank you for your comments. Being in such a fantastic location, perched above Porthminster Beach, enjoying those lovely views, whilst not too far from the town and beaches, does involve a bit of a climb if you are on foot, via steps or paths that may be steep for some. Please do contact us before booking, if this is a concern, so that we can advise. Tanya, Customer Services
Really impressed with the friendly staff. The flat was spacious and well equipped. I would give the flat we stayed in and the company 10/10. I will be visiting again. Thank you Aspect for a wonderful holiday.

34 Carrack Widden is a lovely flat with fantastic views over Porthminster Beach. It is always well presented and as I said earlier has this year been re-decorated and looks great.
