Andrew11 years on Airbnbhttps://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/347aac46-9d4e-4f30-b0c0-ba029c1f2c40.jpg?im_w=2405July 2021We got this for a great price and were so happy with the location, amenities and space of the apartment. A 30min coast walk each way gets you to amazing beaches, a short drive to Penzance or St Ives, and the sunset here never gets old. Would recommend.
Umesh6 years on Airbnbhttps://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/f23b10da-bfa9-4126-9613-0527f3d40918.jpg?im_w=2404July 2020Had a great stay at the Acton Castle Garden Apartment. The apartment was comfortable and had everything that was needed for a week stay and the hosts provided good correspondence when required. The garden was really nice however the description states there is a private space for the garden apartment but this did not seem to be the case as the whole garden was communal but not a big deal as hardly anyone else used it and did not spoil the spectacular views! It was a steep walk down to the coastal walk but from there you could walk to some of truly picturesque coves and wide open beaches (during low tide) in around 30 mins. The only minor negative was the crockery and cutlery in the kitchen were not cleaned properly, which again was not a biggie as we just put everything in the dishwasher but we expected everything to be sanitized before arriving due to COVID-19. Overall would definitely recommend.
LukeBainbridge Island, Washingtonhttps://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/d709c95c-3726-44d8-a3fa-dbfc37aa711f.jpg?im_w=2404July 2020Great location with fantastic views. Easy hike to Perranuthnoe Beach with a local sandwich/lunch spot (The Cabin). A longer, but fun coastal hike the other way will take you a larger, guarded beach, Praa Sands. Quick drives to Marazion and St. Michael's Mount and to large grocery stores. Overall, we were very pleased with the stay.
Claire12 years on AirbnbNone4May 2018The flat at Acton Castle is a really unusual property with the best views ever - sunset over St Michael’s Mount doesn’t grow old! The walls are solid stone and almost a metre thick, so it is the perfect place to retreat from the noisy bustle of normal life. The upstairs rooms are very bright and airy, with spectacular coastal views - even from the kitchen sink! Everything was as we expected from the description and photos. The bottle of wine and posh biscuits also provided a nice welcoming touch.
Access to the SW coastal path is easy, and we walked to both Marazion and Prussia Cove from the flat. The wild flowers and butterflies were amazing and the rock pools in the nearest cove are teeming with wildlife (if that’s your thing). The welcome pack was very useful and the host team is super-quick to respond to queries. 10/10!
Nicola13 years on AirbnbNone4September 2017The apartment has the MOST amazing view. We loved watching it and on sunny days it would be heaven to spend the whole day in the gardens!
Michael8 years on AirbnbNone5July 2017Due to the fantastic photos on Airbnb our expectations were already high, but reality by far exceeded all our expectations. We really spent a perfect week in the wonderful Garden Apartment in Acton Castle. Maybe the most impressive is the incredible view over the bay of Penzance with the spectacular St. Michael's Mount as its central point. You can enjoy this fantastic view from the living room, from the breakfast table or even when doing the dishes in the kitchen. Another highlight is the garden which is really beautiful with a nice pond, wonderful plants and flowers and many great places to sit and enjoy the view. Also the 18th century Acton Castle is a very beautiful and really impressive building. The apartment is ideal for a family like ours with 2 children. The main sleeping room has its own bathroom with toilet and shower. The main bathroom has a bathing tub with shower and another toilet. The appartment has two floors. Sleeping rooms and bathrooms are in the basement, while living room and kitchen are in the first floor with its incredible view. The appartment offers a lot of space for a family of four and we weren't missing anything. You reach the costal path within two minutes from the garden. We did a very nice walk to St. Michael's Mount. Acton Castle is also a good starting point for many activities in the area. You can easily reach Penzance, St. Ives, the Lizard Peninsula and many, many more great places by car. There are several big supermarkets in the direction towards Penzance which you can reach within 10 minutes by car. Garden Apartment in Acton Castle is a really perfect place to spend a perfect holiday and we definitely give a 5 star recommendation. Thanks to Tim for giving us the possibility to enjoy this great place and the area around it.
Guilhem8 years on AirbnbNone5April 2017We had an amazing time at the Acton Castle, we really enjoyed being so close to the coastal path allowing us to discover beautiful sites without even taking our car. The flat is really furnished with lots of information / tips available to enjoy our stay.
Andrew8 years on AirbnbNone4January 2017Tim's place is extremely well equipped for any length of stay, with lots of room and very comfy. But the main attraction is the stunning view right from the apartment and the amazing location. Right on the coastal path for great walks and a short drive to St Ives, Lizard Point etc.TimFebruary 2017Thank you for taking the time to review Acton Castle, it really is in the most stunning location! We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes from the Cornish Seaview Cottages Team
Clair10 years on AirbnbNone5December 2016This apartment is amazing! Such a lovely space with everything you could need. Perfect for my partner and I to getaway in winter with the coastal views! And would easily suit a family with the space and amenities.
It's perfect! Best spot in Cornwall.
