  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 throughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Parc Terrace.

  Newlyn is a lovely village with lovely restaurants (Mackrel Sky Seafood, The Bridge) Café (Duke St Cafe) and Pubs (The Swordfish) all of which are dog friendly. The house is in a perfect location to walk to Penzance and Mousehole and a bus route which runs through can also be used to get to other areas/sights of Cornwall. This information written in the welcome pack would have been useful. The house was on a steep hill, a good way to walk off the food and drinks, and we were lucky with parking to have had a pace on the road just outside the house. The house itself was decorated lovely, clean and was everything we needed for a week with our dog. The gifts on arrival were a lovely touch! Thank you for a lovely week and we would definitely recommend to stay here as a base for exploring Cornwall

  I can't complain about the cleanliness as this was spot on apart from a filthy grill pan in the cooker.

  No dressing table so very difficult to get ready and do hair and make up. Living room very uncomfortable. The 2 sofas are past the best and once your on them your in a hole and the tv is housed on the wall very high up! Felt unable to relax and it gave me a bad neck. No tv upstairs at all which won't be an issue to all but was to me. These are all issues that can be easily addressed. Beds were comfy. Main bedroom is on the main road side which is also on a bus route which can get quite noisy. Again if your a light sleeper this won't be for you Traffic struggles to get up and down this very steep bank. You can't park outside but we always managed to park close by but if your a nervous driver this won't be the place for you.... Lovely touch of scones and wine on arrival though.
