Patio doors open onto a sheltered decked area, where guests can unwind with a morning coffee or evening drink while enjoying pleasant views of the country side and down towards the coast. The lounge features a 32” Freeview TV with a NOWTV box (enabling catch-up TV and access to personal streaming accounts) and a DVD player, ensuring plenty of entertainment options.

The contemporary kitchen is fully fitted and thoughtfully equipped with all the essentials, including an electric oven, hob, fridge, microwave, and washing machine. Whether preparing a light breakfast or a romantic dinner, this kitchen caters to every need.

The comfortable double bedroom offers ample storage and includes a 24” Smart TV/DVD combo, creating a cosy retreat for restful nights. The second bedroom is a bunk room but please note only the bottom bunk is available so this property works perfectly for 2 adults and one child.

Eddystone’s sheltered decked area is the perfect spot to soak in the peaceful surroundings. Reserved parking close to the apartment provides added convenience for guests arriving by car. 

Downderry is the heart of a picturesque bay that stretches from Rame Head in the east to Looe Island in the west. The village itself offers excellent dining options, including “Bewshea’s on the Beach” and “Inn on the Shore,” both located right by the sea. For those looking to explore further afield, the vibrant fishing town of Looe is within easy reach, offering shops, cafes, and traditional Cornish charm.

Please note that while the apartment is easily accessible, the hill leading down to the village and beach is steep, which may not be suitable for guests with mobility challenges.

Excellent home. Quiet location. 2 min walk from village and beach. Wonderful surroundings. Looe is close by. Nice living room. I only missed the pillows for outside on the chairs. Otherwise great!

Jeremy & Vikki - September 2023

We really enjoyed our stay at Helena's property. The place looked exactly as the pictures, everything was clean, and it had a friendly and cozy atmosphere. We found that the kitchen was very well equipped and the house in general had all the necessities. It was very useful to have the bedroom tv linked to the smart system in the living room, so we could watch stuff from the bed. The patio is lovely and spacious, and we enjoyed having our morning coffee and breakfast out there. The area is very quiet (apart from the seagulls) and feels safe. Helena provided a booklet with lots of information about what to do, see and eat all around Cornwall. There was allocated parking very close to the door, which was super convenient. The place is 5 minutes’ walk from the beach, which is lovely, and about 10-15 minutes’ walk from Seaton. There is a Morrisons about 20 minutes’ drive away. We would highly recommend staying here.

Mario - August 2023

We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable, very well equipped apartment. Thank you so much for the welcome pack of absolutely delicious shortbread biscuits, milk in the fridge and sachets of tea/coffee/hot chocolate which were so very appreciated. Everything that you need is there. We really appreciated your great selection of DVD’s on a very wet day! Lovely location too.

Tracey - July 2023

Annie - September 2022

Great place in an even better location!

Michael - August 2022

Really enjoyed our few days here, comfortable and cosy with all the small details thought about. Even enjoyed the daily walk up and down the hill to the beach. Would com again. Thank you.

Fiona & Andrew - August 2022

Lovely and comfortable little apartment. Ideally situated to do all the things we love, swimming, cycling, paddle boarding and walking. Beautiful part of Cornwall. Thank you.

Solfrid & Rupert - July 2022

A lovely apartment in a great location. Couldn't really ask for more.

Sue & Alex - July 2022

A peaceful apartment overlooking the ocean and the hillsides across the carpark (which is mainly hidden from view by the hedge). The beach is a six minute walk downhill - so easily accessible on foot. A lovely cafe at the bottom of the hill and a beautiful 15 minute walk along the beach to Seaton, and the nature reserve and cafes (great fish and chips). Everything you need in the apartment which, whilst compact, is cosy and homely.
