Very rare to find somewhere in Penzance with parking. Beds were lovely and comfortable. No terrestrial tv, would've been nice to catch up on the early news. Could do with redecorating too. Would stay here again for sure.

It feels like home from home. Very comfortable with great views across harbour and Mounts Bay. Spacious lounge and large bedrooms. A place where you feel you can sit reading a book on the huge comfy sofa looking at the view on a rainy day without feeling like you are missing out. Easy to run down for a swim in Abbey Wharf at high tide which is about 100m down the slipway from the flat and then run back up for a hot shower afterwards. Good to get around to other places e.g Sennen, St Ives and Porthleven are all about 20minutes drive away. The flat is a 3-5 minute walk to the cafes, pubs and shops in Penzance centre.
