Morwenstow is a one in a million luxury apartment complex overlooking the bay - the views will absolutely blow you away. With private access to the coast path, from the large communal garden area, leading to Porthminster beach, you could be dipping your toes in the ocean within five minutes of leaving the apartment! The sitting room and master bedroom directly overlook the bay enabling you to take in the breathtaking vista including Godrevy Lighthouse as well as the dramatic, wild and rugged coastline.
Neptunes Rest is on the garden floor, so you have immediate access to the stunning landscaped gardens where you can dine alfresco or if you fancy a spot of sunbathing without the sand, it's the perfect place. Each apartment in the complex has its own parking space within a secure gated area. Morwenstow provides a stress free getaway so park up, un-pack and head straight to the beach. St Ives town is just a 10 minute walk away where you will find an abundance of shops and restaurants. St Ives is a great location for any foodie. You'll be spoilt for choice - be it fish and chips on the beach or a gorgeous three course meal at the wonderful Porthminster Beach Café.

We have many apartments overlooking the bay, many of which have parking. However, with the branch line train and bus stations just a couple of minutes’ walk away, Porthminster could be the ideal location for your self-catering holiday, whatever mode of transport you choose to arrive by.

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.

Mr Howarth Aug 2020
Just home from our second stay at Morwenstow 1. The apartment is beautiful. Very modern. Very clean. Has everything you need. Great location. Highly recommend.
Mrs Hobart Jul 2020
We loved the high standard, views and location of this apartment.
Mrs Wilde Jul 2020
This was our fifth year in a row at Neptunes Rest and we still enjoy the stay as much as the first. The location is perfect with views from Smeaton pier to Godrevy lighthouse. The apartment is perfect for our needs as a base for the many great coastal path walks of Cornwall. We also love the great restaurants in St Ives.
Mr Haines Sep 2019
Stayed during July 2019 weather lovely. Great views from apartment and easy access for Porthminster Beach. Welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk on arrival. Walk down into St Ives easy and a steady climb back up. Would recommend.
Mrs Shepherd Aug 2019
Great flat, gorgeous views, easy walk into town, lovely garden, flat was very clean, comfortable and accessible.
Ms Whitbread Jun 2019
We had a great week at Neptune’s Rest. Very highly specified and spotlessly clean apartment block with secure parking and easy access. Right on Hain walk, which allows a shortish walk to St Ives or Carbis Bay, although there are some hills to negotiate in both directions. Easy to get the car out of town, which is not always the case from St Ives. Lots of outside space and patio furniture, but unfortunately we didn’t get much sun on it in early September. A lift to our floor was another big bonus for us, and the key safe system was very easy, although we were still met and greeted, and shown to and around our apartment on arrival.
Mr Gregory Sep 2018
Perfect ground floor apartment with large patio area and lovely outdoor furniture. Spotlessly clean with gorgeous interior. We love the location just far enough out of st ives centre away from the crowds but still within easy reach. The milk,tea, coffee, buscuits and bottle of wine are a lovely touch.
Mrs Rayner Sep 2018
Excellent apartment in a perfect location!
Mr Haines Sep 2018
This year was our third at Neptune's Rest. We love Cornwall and especially St Ives. The property is perfectly placed for views and getting around.
Mr Haines Sep 2017
Gorgeous apartment in a perfect location. Modern, high spec, clean apartment just what we were looking for. Home from home with a useful and much appreciated welcome pack on arrival. Lovely outside space with gorgeous views and a nice short walk down to the beach. Already booked for next year.
Mr Rayner Sep 2017
Lovely apartment, stunning views with easy access to the beach and town.
Miss Jones Jul 2017
A perfect Appartment for a base to explore the beautiful areas around you in Cornwall. Morden chic and very clean. Every detail has been thought of to ensure guests are happy. Stunning views with the perfect patio for soaking them up.
Mrs Hills Oct 2016
Close enough to the town and beaches but far enough away to feel like you are in the country, fabulous coastal views park your car and enjoy the holiday.
Mr Robinson Oct 2016
Lovely property very convenient to St. Ives, no need to drive in and find parking. Lovely views in all weathers, day time and evening. Very well equipped and comfortable.
Mrs Hammond Aug 2016
Fabulous apartment in superb location in a stunning place!! We had a truly wonderful stay.
Ms Eady Sep 2015
Wonderful views, easy walk down to Porthminster beach and St. Ives but not an easy walk back up!
Ms Gibson Aug 2015
Very well appointed modern apartment with great views and situated a stones throw from the beach (if you don't mind a walk up the hill!) However, there could be problems with the Wi Fi.

I know that a member of the team has already been in touch with you since your return home, but again we would like to apologise for the problems with the wifi while you were there. It was a temproary issue, resolved with the network provider as soon as possible, but we are sorry that this happened, and the inconvenience it caused you. Tanya, Customer Services
Neptune's Rest is a great place to stay. Location is perfect, the property is clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Beautifully decorated throughout. It is quiet and had fantastic views out to the ocean and across to St Ives harbour. Can't say enough good things about it. We will definitely rebook if we return to St Ives.
Mrs Monk Jul 2015
Super apartment, would definitely stay here again.
