With magnificent sea views far across Mounts Bay towards Newlyn harbour and the Lizard Peninsula and the sea only a few yards away across the road, this partially double-glazed, mid terrace cottage is situated on the promenade in the attractive seaside town of Penzance. 

Penzance has a wide range of shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants all within a quarter of a mile and the open air Jubilee bathing pools are just a couple of minutes walk. St Michael's Mount and the sandy beaches of Marazion are about 3 miles, and there is also a pebbled beach revealed at low tide just yards from the cottage. 

Newlyn, Mousehole, Lamorna and Porthcurno are all just a short drive, the latter being home to the cliff top Minack Theatre, and both Trengwainton and Trewidden Gardens are less than 2 miles. There are daily services by ferry to the Isles of Scilly and glorious coastal walks nearby.

Living Room

A pleasantly light living room with television, exposed beams, white painted stone walls, french doors opening to the front terrace and comfortable seating arranged before the granite fireplace housing a gas flame effect fire.

Kitchen

At the rear, adjacent to the small dining suite, a door leads through to a neatly fitted kitchen, a utility room with laundry facilities and a service courtyard. Kitchen/utility appliances include fridge/freezer, gas hob and oven, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Bedroom 2

To the front, is a delightful twin bedroom with television and easy chairs set in the huge bay window to take full advantage of the uninterrupted sea views across Mounts Bay.

The enclosed front terrace has patio table and chairs where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea across the road.

The pirates have long gone from Britain's most south-westerly town and holidays in Penzance are now all about beaches, days out, wildlife and stunning scenery.

The town sits in the middle of Mount's Bay, which is crowned by the famous St Michael’s Mount. The fairy-tale rocky island can be reached by walking a narrow causeway only accessible at low tide. It's worth the trip for not only the views of the Cornish landscape but to explore the 12th-century fortress, castle gardens and church dating back to medieval times.

Holidays in Penzance are all about the gorgeous beaches for swimming, walking, beach games and chilling - whatever the time of year! Expect soft sandy bays at Long Rock, Lamorna Cove, Kenneggey Sands and Praa Sands, plus many, many more close by. If you're on a family holiday in Penzance, take the kids to cool off at the quirky art deco Jubilee Lido (open from late July), which sits in the rocks near the harbour. Then jump on a marine discovery boat tour and scour the ocean for playful seals and dolphins, as well as basking sharks, puffins and depending on the year ,whales as well. Walking holidays in Penzance are popular due to the town's proximity to the many walking routes and paths such as The Granite Coast Walk and the South West Coast Path, which are all well signposted.

In and around the town centre, there's plenty to keep you entertained. Romantic holidays in Penzance could include strolls around the bountiful supply of art galleries, showcasing local artists as well as well-known names. Because of the region’s warm and sunny climate, tropical plants and trees flourish in Penzance. Palm trees love it here, and there are several specialist gardens to stroll around hand in hand through exotic blooms and outsized leaves. Visit Morrab Subtropical Gardens, Trewidden Garden and the National Trust jewel Trengwainton Gardens. Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is another to add to the list for standout art and sculptures set within banks of exotic planting schemes.

Whilst on a short break in Penzance, go and see the magnificent, open-air Minack Theatre. It's a hidden jewel perched high on the side of a cliff and quite magnificent. You can visit during the day for a coffee and take in the views if you can't get to a performance.

The heart of Penzance is the historic quarter, in and around Chapel Street, which is lined with granite buildings and quirky independent shops selling trinkets, vintage finds, books and gifts. Historic old pubs donned in remnants of shipwrecks and hidden smugglers’ tunnels harbour throngs of musicians for sing-alongs of toe-tapping Cornish music. Come hungry to Penzance because alongside the pubs are excellent cafes and restaurants with creative menus centred around what was landed at the working harbour that morning.

The town's events calendar is sprinkled with dates and festivities throughout the year, but for a summer holiday in Penzance, try and see the town's pagan Golowan Festival. It takes place over ten days at the end of June,  overlapping the summer solstice. You'll see a myriad of big, bright musical parades of locals dressed in colourful costumes and enormous statues, bonfires, street musicians, markets and lots of frivolity!

Choose a holiday in Penzance for a seamless blend of an eclectic, yet traditional Cornish fishing town surrounded by outstanding scenery, dazzling sandy beaches and nearby attractions.

It is usually possible to park on the seafront outside the property, or alternatively there is a pay and display car park 150 yards away.

Visiting the geothermal pool is a wonderful experience and far warmer than imagined. It was worth the chill of changing and dressing. The environment is clean and well maintained in spite of its age, which only adds to the ambience, The warmth of the cafe is a pleasure after a swim and it offers high quality food and friendly service.

Amazing! Make sure you get the combo ticket for maximum enjoyment, but make sure you go into the cold pool first!

Long Rock Beach
(2 miles)

Mousehole is a delightful village. Beautiful scenery and walks, with some interesting shops and places to eat and drink. We ate very well at The Mousehole Deli and Kitchen on the seafront, which has an interesting menu, good coffee, and lovely staff. Bought great gifts at the weekly Craft Market too. Parking in Mousehole is quite limited!

November 2023


absolutely lovely fishing village, well worth a walk round, so relaxing having a walk around here !!

September 2023


We loved Mousehole! It has real character and we could walk there from our cottage. We swam there twice and the water was wonderful. We also enjoyed pasties, coffee and cake in the village. We would definitely go back there again.

September 2023


Beautiful, quaint Mousehole, one of our favourite places. Had a lovely stroll around the harbour and village and visited most of the gift shops. Sat for a while in the lovely harbour, so peaceful and quiet.

This beach is not dog friendly at any time

March 2022


lovely little cove, but watch out for the Parking rules !!

September 2023


Walked to Lamorna Cove from Castallack - it was a very nice walk on a lovely and sunny Sunday morning. The cove was very quiet and peaceful, not many visitors around. We sat and enjoyed the view and had an ice-cream from the local cafe; the staff in the cafe were so friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

July 2023


Carbis Bay Beach
(7 miles)

Carbis Bay is a northeast facing beach that rarely has any surf, making it an ideal spot for families and toddlers to paddle and swim in the calmer waters. At around a mile long, the golden sands of Carbis Bay are surrounded by sub-tropical plants and turquoise waters which might just have you thinking you’re somewhere much further south! Dogs are banned on the beach between Easter and 30 September.

October 2022

Location could not be beaten!


September 2021

Perfect place to enjoy and explore the area. The property was clean and comfortable. Exactly what we were hoping for. The front bedroom is a great place to sit with a book and watch the sunrise and sunset. The outdoor area is lovely to enjoy alfresco drinks and dining when the weather is kind. A fantastic week all round.


September 2021

Fantastic location overlooking the bay. We never got tired of sitting in the upstairs bedroom window looking out at the view. A great centre for visiting the west of Cornwall. The bonus was seeing the Tour of Britain set off .


June 2021

The location is excellent occupying one of the prime locations in Penzance.Ideal for more mature visitors being surrounded by level walking areas in each direction. The stroll down the promenade to Newlyn each evening was a pleasurable experience, and good exercise to work off the evening meals enjoyed in the Navy and the Dolphin both on the doorstep. Both offering a wide choice of menu….despite the restrictions of the Pandemic. Enjoyed the whole experience explored Morab Gardens and the Rugby Club just around the corner…a throughly enjoyable stay,in a very pleasant location.
