Seacroft Barton

Seacroft Barton is a five-bedroom penthouse apartment near Germoe, sleeping 10 in an Art Deco building overlooking Praa Sands. Sea views extend across the bay, and a roof terrace gives the group a separate outdoor space from the private garden below.

Host Amanda manages the booking. Three doubles, one twin and one bunk room make up the five bedrooms, and five bathrooms serve the apartment. A dishwasher and washing machine are included, but there's no Wi-Fi, so this suits guests happy to disconnect for the stay. Dogs are not accepted.

Praa Sands is 800m away, a mile-long surf beach with a car park right behind the sand. Porthcew Rinsey Cove is 0.7 miles from the apartment and Prussia Cove, the old smugglers' cove, is 1.7 miles along the coast path. Germoe itself is a small village with no pub or shop of its own; Helston, about four miles away, is the nearest town for services.

Two reviews average 3.3 out of 5, with cleanliness scoring 4 and equipment and comfort each scoring 3.

**Best for:** a larger group wanting five bathrooms, sea views, a roof terrace and the beach within a mile. **Less good for:** guests relying on Wi-Fi, needing step-free access to a top-floor flat, or preferring a ground-floor property.
