Luxurious, spacious, sunny town house 3 mins walk to the sea.
Recently restored home, with modern amenities in a lovely old town house. Clean, fresh and comfortable with everything you need for a great home from home holiday.
The front door is accessed up a set of granite steps. Just off the lovely hallway you will find a spacious high ceilinged front room with bay window looking out onto a tree lined street (with ample free parking), a large comfortable three-piece suite TV and table.
The airy and spacious dining room has a dining table for 6, another comfortable seating area. This room is equipped with board games, TV for watching DVD's, many great books and is a lovely sunny room for a quiet read or a family games room, ideal for teenagers too.
Along the hall the roomy kitchen has all essential amenities including washing machine and microwave. Tea, coffee, sugar etc. supplied as well as olive oil and other spices and condiments. We will often leave some herbs and veg from our allotment if in season.
Through the back door you will find a sun trap terrace overlooked by lovely trees where the birds will entertain you all day. Wonderful for a fresh air breakfast before you venture out to discover the wonders of West Penwith or a lovely wind down at the end of the day.
Upstairs is a roomy and bright bathroom with roll top bath, powerful shower enclosure and WC, with another separate WC and basin next door. Along the landing are two spacious, high ceiling, bedrooms, one with comfortable king-size bed, the other has twin beds which can be connected as a super king, and a delightful snug single bedroom with single bed.

Nearer home you will find The Bath Inn just off the promenade, with a wonderful pretty beer garden for sitting in the sun with a drink, which is just around the corner from Frasers fabulous fish and chips on the prom. Further along the prom is the Yacht Inn with another great garden where you can catch the last of the evening sun or The Lugger where you can watch the world go by along Mounts Bay.

We had a lovely time at this house. We loved that it was so close to the seafront. The house had all the amenities, and space we needed.
We really appreciated all the books too, plenty to read. The house was very clean and smelt amazing.
It was a great location for us to go and see all the sites Cornwall has to offer.
We also recommend the fish and chip shop on the sea front.
Thank you!

Lovely house in a great location.
The house was spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent in a quiet street with very easy access to the centre, the coast and the attractions around the area.

Even better than expected
The property exceeded our expectations and we had a brilliant stay in a spacious townhouse. The rooms are spacious but homely with high ceilings and comfy features. The kitchen and bathroom was well equipped and the location was just a short walk to amenities in the town centre. We would highly recommend this listing for small groups and families.

Wir hatten als Familie mit drei Kindern einen sehr schönen zehntägigen Aufenthalt in dem Haus von Maria und Jimmy. Es ist sehr großzügig mit viel Platz, gut ausgestattet und aufgrund der persönlichen Dinge (Pflanzen, Bücher) wirkte es sehr einladend und gemütlich. Wir haben viele Ausflüge mit Leihauto in der Umgebung gemacht, das Busnetz ist aber auch sehr gut ausgebaut.Alles in allem ein toller Aufenthalt.

Parfait
Maison très confortable, on se sent vite chez soi. Très bien placé : plusieurs parcs à proximité avec des jeux pour les enfants, des cours de tennis accessibles (Maria et Jimmy ont des raquettes), ballade sur les quais. Penzance est vraiment une ville agréable à découvrir et à vivre. Maria et Jimmy facilitent la communication, c'est serein.. merci pour tout

Spacious, well located, kind owners
Everything as described online. Quiet street close to the promenade, centre and parks and even free tennis courts (rackets and balls were available in the House). St. Ives, Sennen Cove, the south west coast path are good to reach by car, train etc. Penzance itself has good Shops, pubs, restaurants and the Jubilee Pool! The house is spacious, the kitchen is well equipped for our needs . Whenever we had a question, communication with Maria was easy, fast, kind and helpful. Parking is quite easy, always found a space close to the house. Please be aware of the birds and their „output“, it is highly recommended to not park the car under trees. Overall, we enjoyed our 10 days here very much! Thank you, Maria and Jimmy!

Vacation with children ( 11 and 13)
The house is lovely decorated and real spacious and clean. It’s near the sea and there are dozens beautiful beaches in the surroundings! We also went to the open air theatre in the park around the corner. In the evening we watched the dvd’s that are available. We really enjoyed our week in Penzance. We recommand this house!

Lovely!
Ein wunderbar, liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus, in dem es an nichts fehlt.
Sehr nette Gastgeber, wir fühlten uns willkommen, bekamen Ausflugstips, wurden vom ersten Einkauf abgeholt, weil da viel zu schleppen war, und wurden immer wieder gefragt ob wir alles haben.
