Thank you for your kind review, we know our guests come back year after year because they can relay on our cleaning so we take special care and we are lucky to be 5 minutes walk from the superb sands beach at Harlyn Bay.
We had a very comfortable stay . The apartment had everything we needed and the location is superb. The beach /coastal path is a few minutes walk away and it is a short drive to Padstow or Constantine Bay where our relatives were staying. A lovely week.

This apartment is spacious, warm and comfortable, perfectly placed within a 5 minute walk to the beach and within easy reach of local shops, bays and the Padstow area.
We were made to feel really welcome. Stayed over a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was lovely to stay in an apartment we wanted to come back to relax in.
Thanks very much!
We were made very welcome by the owners; the accommodation was fantastic and we had a great holiday. Will definitely book again if it fits with our future holiday plans but would recommend Yellow Sands Harlyn Bay to anyone looking for a comfortable holiday venue near Padstow;. We were more than pleased . Thank you Martin and Debbie

Thank you for your very kind review, At Yellow Sands Apartments we try to meet all our guests and show them in to the accommodation on arrival, as we live locally we are always on hand if there is any problems.
We hope to see you both again in the future.
Thanks

Property was exactly as advertised. Beach was a true 200 metres from the property as is the coastal path. Location is ideal, out of the big centres but close to lots of attractions north and south.
Flat was clean and had all the normal facilities one could expect.
Would return if holidaying in this area.
We couldn't fault either the property or welcome by owner. Everything we needed was there with plenty of local information - Definitely one to reccomend.

The Perfect Place to Stay for a Holiday in Cornwall
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely spacious apartment. Everything was perfect, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and in a great position. We were met by Martin, who was very friendly and informative. Very quiet and peaceful, and a lovely comfortable bed, so we slept very well. The beautiful beach, and a lovely cliff top walk, is a five minute walk via a footpath from the apartment building. The apartment is in a great position for exploring the surrounding area, which is a lovely part of Cornwall. We are very happy that we have found the perfect place to stay whenever we return to Cornwall.

Relaxing break
Stayed in apartment 5 with a friend for 4 nights in early April. Apartment was clean and it was really lovely to have 2 en-suite bath/shower rooms. There was a slight mix up with the bed configuration on arrival, but this was quickly & painlessly remedied by Martin. There are plenty of kitchen utensils etc. Tea towels, wash up cloths, liquid and dishwasher tablets supplied, which was really useful. Plenty of hot water and heating from storage heater made the cooler evenings very cosy. We were very lucky with the weather, which always helps! Short walk to the great beach at Harlyn, and good base to explore north Cornwall coastline. Had a great break!

Excellent Holiday Accommodation
My wife and I have stayed at the apartments before and we keep coming back.
The apartments are always very clean and tidy. Martin and Debbie are always very welcoming. The apartments are situated in an ideal position for the beach and all the other local beaches. Yor within walking distance to the Harlyn bay pub if you to have a drink out socially and not drive. We will definitely be going again.
