Enjoyed off season holiday and surf watching. Lovely property, clean and comfortable and very spacious. Perfect location for swimming, surfing and body boarding. When you walk into the lounge every morning and see that view and hear those waves, you won’t want to move from your comfy seat by the balcony. Foc’sle Down Under is wonderful holiday accommodation, it is so lovely to sit Cutebit watching the sea.

• Wonderful property, best location ever.
• A comfortable and well equipped cottage.
• To check you’ve got the number of layers just right, check their tummy as it’s a much better indicator than their hands.
• Local microadventures are ideal, for example, but if you find yourself halfway round the world in Hong Kong or Hollywood then you can still apply the microadventure approach and explore there too.
• The Juliet Balcony of Focsle is just above the beach.

There’s no doubt the kitchen/diner will be the heart of this home, but there is a separate reception at the front, providing an ideal escape from the buzz of the kitchen space. You can change your cookie settings at any time.

Cars in the cold

Make yourself a pot of tea and sit in front of the beautiful views. Reserve your 2026 festive holiday for just £40! Or #microadventure being used as a catch-all online until the original purpose of the hashtag – to connect similar people looking for ideas and encouragement – is no longer possible. Maybe it’s a full moon walk up a hill without a torch, or cycling to the coast and sleeping in a bivvy bag. Microadventures mean different things and serve different purposes to different people at different times. Local microadventures are ideal, for example, but if you find yourself halfway round the world in Hong Kong or Hollywood then you can still apply the microadventure approach and explore there too.

• The NCT offer antenatal courses which are a great way to find out more about birth, labour and life with a new baby.
• Crystal Palace, under 1.5 miles away, is renowned for its independent boutiques, artisan sellers, vibrant restaurant scene, Everyman cinema, and Saturday farmers market at Haynes Lane.
• The exciting view is the one into the city centre rather than out to the Cheshire plain, but most of the north side will still only be used as overspill for the main bar, rather than being automatically open.
• We had a lovely holiday and have booked again for next year!
• Make sure you check out the contents of the beach locker!
• We are short of time, of money, of expertise, and more of us live in cities than wild landscapes.

Staying dry

Otherwise it’s easy to go round a few houses and into the beach. The cupboard with all the beach stuff in was great (you can use the ladders to get from the gate down to the beach which was about a 5ft drop!). We had a lovely holiday at The Focsle.

It’s all about growth

A really great location, and the house is comfortable and well equipped. This is such a lovely, warm and comfortable place to stay, in a fabulous location. We would love to stay again for future holidays. The Focsle is spacious and comfortable, and is guaranteed to provide a relaxing holiday for anyone. Perfect house in perfect location. Stunning views over the beach and the Island.

I’m a fan of the Nait 50, as are a lot of people on this forum. As you say, you have many other good things to occupy your time. By biggest grip for valves for audio is the sensitivity (through normal physics) to RF – and as such often benefit from valve screening – which was used more and more in sensitive commercial valve circuitry in its time. Annoys me when people try to score solid state v valve points. He explained that this is the point when a mare is moved to one of the 11 camera-monitored boxes, allowing the team to keep a close eye on her during our round-the-clock foaling vigils at this time of year.

As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

An Amazing and welcoming property perfect view right on porthmeor beach.Child and family friendly and very comfortable to stay in. Sometimes holiday homes are just a base but the location and the gorgeous view meant that we could stay in/stay local and relax. In all of that time, we have stayed many different places but in the Focsle, we have found a perfect family base for a beach holiday. Amazing location and westerly view over Porthmeor beach for sunset beauty shots, quiet, comfortable beds, nice linen, attractive and well equipped kitchen. Wonderful holiday, such beautiful views and lovely accommodation, I never want to stay anywhere but here ever again!

Manchester restaurant and bar deals: January 2026

Wonderful property, best location ever. It was a privilege to stay at the house and we hope to come again. We stay in St Ives every Easter and this was our favourite house by a long way. With it’s Juliet window onto the beach, you can sit and enjoy the spectacular sunsets each evening. We saw seals every day including a pup that came up on the beach right in front of us, looked about and then waddled back in…..
