Chapel Rock is a beautiful apartment in a stunning location. We had a lovely stay here for a week in September. The location is perfect for the beach and town of Perranporth. We love to surf so this was ideal, we didn't have to carry the boards miles. There is an outside shower for cleaning off your board, wetsuit etc; after being on the beach. There are also cages for each apartment to store boards and hang wetsuits. The apartments were built with surfing in mind! However, the owner does not allow his cage to be used for this as he stores paint and bits in it. This is a real shame and a waste of what would be a brilliant asset. The owner does also run the risk of renters taking surf boards & wet, sandy equipment into his spotless apartment.
The apartment was spotless when we arrived, really good to find during Covid times. Parking is onsite, which is ideal and extremely handy in a busy seaside town. The apartment is very spacious and ideal for two couples. My only complaint with the rooms were that it would be nice to have a chest of drawers in each bedroom, for clothes and make up/hair drying. Also a mirror in the bedrooms would be good. We used the one in the hallway for hair drying etc;
The beds and sofa were very comfortable and social-able for watching TV. The outside furniture could be better. It was very hard and not comfortable for lounging. The views from all the rooms and the patio are amazing, you could sit and watch for hours. Very easy to check the surf too.
Chapel Rock is within walking distance of several bars and restaurants. The onsite Summerhouse bar/restaurant was closed, really disappointing, this would be fantastic. Hopefully this will be open next time! The beach and apartments are dog friendly, not sure it is allowed in this apartment.
Overall we would certainly recommend this apartment and will return. James, the host, was very helpful and accommodating, he responded very quickly.
I would not book through Sykes again as their customer service is very poor.
