  We worked out the best way to arrive at the parking space.

  Follow the one way system onto Chapel Street, turn left at the Admiral Benbow into Abbey Street, turn left into New Street, then turn left into the cobbled courtyard.There is space marked Mount View for your car. The slipway is narrow, cobbled and tidal and we wouldn't recommend it. There is a spiral staircase to the apartment. Two large steps into the bathroom and two large steps into the inner hall. The kitchen is small, there is a large lounge diner with lovely view of the slipway, bridge and the beaches in the distance. The tidal pool below is very popular with wild swimmers and there are benches for your clothes. There are two large double bedrooms. The apartment is furnished in country house style and there are ample books and games . We had a cosy week there, we enjoyed exploring Penzance, the pubs such as the Admiral Benbow, Turks Head and the Longboat Inn. There are several parks in Penzance, Morrab and Penlee, which has a great cafe and museum. There is a deli called the Cornish Hen and Baker Tom's bakery. A good selection of shops. The bus service to Long Rock, Marazion, or Mousehole, St Ives and Truro is very good. The coastal park walk from Penzance takes you to Long Rock and the Mexico Inn or further on into Marazion.

  Hi A lovely homely appartment that was well furnished with very comfortable beds and seating.

  Spacious and well equipped. the views are lovely. Perfect for a wet week - if we had to stay in for a bit it felt fine just sitting with a book and admiring the view. The 'dry dock' area just a hundred meteres from the appartment was great for swimming at high tide- easy just to run down a quick swim then back for a hot shower. Also owner was quick to respond and very helpful when we had a small problem. My only tiny gripe was instructions for getting there- was not clear that the entrance is actually in another street and there is no sign on Abbey Street for the property so it took a while to find running up and down in torretial rain and no one seemed to know where it is. Also satnav takes you to the bottom of a very steep cobbled slope that says it is unsuitable for cars so directions around via Chapel Street woud be helpful.

  What a lovely apartment.

  Had a great few nights away and this is a perfect apartment. Everything we needed with a lovely cream tea welcome as well. Fantastic views out - spent ages just sitting on the windows with a coffee. Perfect little tidal harbour area - our 2 girls spent ages playing in the water there. Very close to the high street as well. For a coastal walk we took a taxi to Lamorna and then walked back. Lamorna to Mousehall is lovely, Mousehall to Penzance is OK as well but not quite so picturesque. We also took the girls (14 and 15) for a longer walk. Parked at Porthcurno, walked back up the road and then to Nanjizal beach (plan to spend an hour or so here it's amazing). From Nanjizal, the SW coastal path is great back to Porthcurno. Very sorry to be home again! Could have stayed for ever. Thanks very much.

  We really enjoyed this property.

  It is quirky and has an equally quirky location but with parking. Quite important in Penzance. It is high up with views over the harbour and St Michael’s Mount. There are a few steps internally though so this needs to be considered before booking especially if you have any mobility issues. We were impressed that, when we reported a problem, it was dealt with immediately. For example we reported that there was no microwave. By the time we got back from our day out a new had been installed. The only facility missing is a washing machine but it’s hard to think where one could be installed anyway. Service washes are available in town launderettes but rolling down in a towel and using radiators worked for us. A simple clothes airer would have been useful.

  The location is wonderful!

  Superb views and great central location with parking space which is like gold dust in Pz. The apartment is so elegantly furnished and decorated with many delightful touches. The kitchen is well equipped. Thank you for the welcome cream tea. There were a couple of technical issues (plumbing, internet/television) but the swift availability of Superman Handyman Jonathan got things sorted. Getting in and out of the bath/shower was a challenge and we are not fans of fixed showerheads! The description could perhaps be clearer about the number and depth of external and internal steps. But it was wonderful to be back in Pz and we had a great time.
