Wharf Watch - Morwenstow 8
Porthminster, St Ives
Previous

Wharf Watch offers you relaxed and unique accommodation in an unrivalled position in the heart of the bay. Located just five minutes from Porthminster beach, Morwenstow apartments offer breathtaking views to Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond. This upper garden level apartment is spacious so you'll have plenty of room to enjoy your family time together.
When the kids are tucked up in bed or watching a film on their own Smart TV you can claim the evening for yourselves whilst you relax on the balcony with a glass of wine, watching the beautiful views. The kitchen is kitted out to a high specification but if you choose to escape the cooking completely you can enjoy the best local cafe bars and restaurants - you'll be absolutely spoilt for choice! With each apartment having their own parking space within a secure gated area, you can come and go as you please. No need to get in the car for St Ives town though as it's a pleasant 10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants or the water's edge of Porthminster beach. A path leading from the landscaped gardens winds its way onto the coastal path where you can reach either St Ives or Carbis Bay within a very enjoyable half an hour. Either way, you end up on a beach of fine sand and calm waters where normally the young or old amongst you can swim, paddle or partake in some gentle water sports. For the livelier, Porthmeor beach is on the other side of the town where the waves are some of the best to learn to surf or perfect your style.

A lovely and spacious luxury apartment with everything you would need for a relaxing break. Well located for an easy walk into St Ives and gives direct access to the Coastal Path, which we took to Carbis Bay, Lelant and Zennor

Stayed at Wharf Watch for a week whilst walking this section of the SWCP. Great place to stay if you want a bit of luxury and enjoy a modern aspect. After a tough day out on long sections of the path this is exactly what we wanted! Big comfy sofa, smart tv, soft beds; perfect! Immaculately clean thanks to Debbie! Short walk down to Porthminster beach for swimming and then an Aperol Spritz at the beach bar. Life’s good! Aspects were a really easy company to deal with, responded quickly to emails, easy to book and all on line so no reams of paperwork. Will definitely use Aspects again. Thanks for a great holiday!
