Overlooking Mount's Bay with stunning sea views towards St Michael's Mount, it's perfectly located near Praa Sands, Marazion and Cornwall's beautiful beaches, coastal walks and top attractions.
Accessed via the castle's impressive stone staircase, the apartment has its own private entrance and is arranged over two levels. The upper floor is dedicated to spacious living areas, while the bedrooms are located downstairs, creating a comfortable separation between social and sleeping spaces.
A welcoming entrance hall provides plenty of room for walking boots, beach equipment and coats before leading into the bright, open-plan living and dining area. Large windows frame panoramic sea views across Mount's Bay, filling the space with natural light. Comfortable sofas provide the perfect place to relax after a day exploring West Cornwall, while a TV, DVD player, iPod dock and CD player ensure entertainment throughout your stay.

Downstairs, the spacious master bedroom features a comfortable double bed, views over the beautiful sunken gardens and a private en-suite shower room with WC. The second bedroom offers flexible twin beds that can be arranged as a super king-size bed upon request, making the apartment equally suitable for families, couples or friends travelling together. A modern family bathroom with bath, basin and WC completes the accommodation.
One of the highlights of staying at The Garden Apartment is access to the beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding Acton Castle. Step directly outside into the enchanting sunken formal gardens, where expansive lawns, colourful subtropical planting and an ornamental fish pond create a wonderfully tranquil setting. Shared with the castle's other apartments yet offering several secluded seating areas, the gardens are perfect for enjoying morning coffee, reading in the afternoon sunshine or watching the sun set over Mount's Bay. From here, take in uninterrupted coastal views stretching east towards Cudden Point and west to St Michael's Mount, Penzance and the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole.
Combining historic charm, spectacular sea views and an outstanding location close to Cornwall's best beaches and attractions, The Garden Apartment at Acton Castle offers an unforgettable self-catering holiday in one of West Cornwall's most beautiful coastal settings.
