Located in a superb position high on the cliff above Perranporth's beautiful three-mile long beach, 8 Droskyn Castle is one of 14 apartments within an impressive building which used to once be a majestic Edwardian hotel.

The front entrance is accessed by six steps from the parking area where there is allocated parking for one car (a second parking space can be found in the lower car park to the side of the castle). The front door then opens into the entrance hall of this first floor apartment, with a large storage cupboard suitable for bodyboards, buckets, spades and beach equipment.

A bright and spacious open plan living space offers spectacular views across the beach and sea from the windows and is furnished with a three-seater and a two-seater leather sofa, TV with Freeview and built-in DVD player, a wall mounted electric fire and a dining table and four chairs. The fully equipped and fitted kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and a combination washer dryer.

Bedroom one is a large and airy room boasting a magnificent sea view and furnished with a king size bed (5'), TV and two chairs. Bedroom two has two single beds (3' each). The bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over it, basin and WC. The apartment is heated by electric radiators, electric heaters and night storage heaters.

  • Beach Life

    Perranporth boasts a beautiful three mile long sandy beach with undulating dunes, a tidal swimming pool built into the striking Chapel Rock, and rock pools that are perfect for paddling. Swim and surf in the big blue, explore caves and enjoy the space to stretch, run and breathe. Take a picnic for lazy hazy days in the dunes or take the dog and relish the three mile expanse of golden sand.

  • Culture and History

    St Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, is said to have washed up on Perranporth’s shores, and the remains of his 6th century oratory can still viewed in the dunes. Perranporth was the site for two tin mines in years gone by and the inspiration for Winston Graham’s Poldark novels which were all written here. High above the beach the millennium sundial tracks Cornish time (approximately 12 minutes later than GMT).

  • Food and Drink

    From fine dining to fish and chips on the promenade, Perranporth has a wide array of food and drink, so you can treat yourself to time away from the kitchen. Share delicious tapas, try vegan street food, or enjoy great bar food in sunny gardens. Local takeaways include Indian, Chinese, Thai and pizza, and remember to leave room for an indulgent Cornish ice cream or post dinner local gin!

  • Get Active

    The north coast of Cornwall is made for adventure. In addition to the wild playgrounds of the beaches there are also loads of organised activities available too. Book lessons with a surf school, gallop a horse along the beach, and play tennis at beautifully maintained grass and hard courts. There’s also a links golf course in the dunes, hang-gliding, a bowling green, children’s play park and boating lake.

  • Local Attractions

    There’s plenty to see and do in the local area, without having to travel too far. Within a short drive of all our properties, visitors can pet farm animals and sample the local cyder at Healeys Cyder Farm, find out how ice cream is made (and of course treat yourself to some!) at Callestick Farm Cornish Ice Cream, and discover the ruins of St Piran’s Oratory in the sand dunes at Perranporth. Dairyland, with horse rides, farm animals, and a huge soft play area, is a great day out for families with young children, as is Lappa Valley Steam Railway with train rides and play park and exploring creatures of the deep at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium at Towan Beach.

  • Explore Cornwall

    Slightly further afield is The Eden Project with its famous biomes, the National Trust houses of Lanhydrock, Trelissick and Trerice, and the spectacular gardens of Glendurgan, Trebah and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. From the rugged and dramatic north coast to the sheltered harbours of south coast fishing villages, everyone is bound to find a corner of Cornwall that captures their heart. Visit St Ives for cobbled streets and art galleries including the Tate St Ives, walk the causeway to St Michael’s Mount island off Marazion, and explore Falmouth’s fascinating maritime history. Padstow is a foodie’s heaven, while Truro boasts a stunning Gothic Revival cathedral and is the county’s shopping hub.

What our

Guests say

It is a beautiful comfortable apartment, well equipped and the view of the beach is unrivalled. We stayed in a period of poor weather with cold winds but can imagine its beauty in the summer.
