About this property
Settled paces away from the breath-taking coast in the heart of the bustling Cornish town of Penzance is Stones Throw Cottage. This idyllic, mews cottage benefits from a fabulous location near all the coastal amenities in Penzance, off-road parking for one car, which is a rarity in this popular town and three beautifully-appointed bedrooms perfect for families or friends looking to explore the delights of Cornwall. Cross the threshold and head straight into the sitting room where you can unwind on the plush sofas in front of the Smart TV after a day full of exploring, later step through to the fully-equipped kitchen where you can help the designated chef of the group whip up tasty meals. Gather around the dining table in the sitting room to sample their culinary creations ahead of stepping through the French doors to the picnic bench where you can savour evening drinks as the sun goes down over Penzance. When the sky darkens, head upstairs to wash off the day in the sleek shower room before catching up on your sleep in either the double, twin or triple bunk room. During the day, take the short walk down to the coast where you follow the coastal path, the harbour, the home of delicious restaurants including The Boatshed and Old Lifeboat House Bistro as well as breath-taking views across the sea. On sunny days, venture to Long Rock Beach where you can while away the day upon its golden sands, splash around in the sea or even take to the open water on paddle boards or kayaks! Continue along the coast to find the picturesque town of Marazion where you can tour the Summerhouse Gallery ahead of making your way to the iconic St Michael’s Mount; depending on the tides, you may even be able to walk across to it! Explore the island, which is home to unique, sub-tropical gardens as well as the impressive mediaeval castle, The Giants Well and the harbour. All of this and more awaits at Stones Throw Cottage.
Penzance holds Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. Aside from these, there are also the Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. From the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole, through Penzance, and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline of Mount's Bay conceals a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, and winding village streets and other places to visit and explore, making it one of the most popular holiday areas in all of Cornwall. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion lies the National Trust’s magnificently attractive St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop fortress and Mediterranean gardens. You can cross on foot during low tide and then get a ride back on the ferry when the tide rises. As the harbour and starting point for day journeys to the Isles of Scilly, the winding streets, shops, bars, restaurants, and harbour of Penzance are not to be missed. From Penzance, the South West Coast Path follows the town's cliffs to the end of the peninsula at Land's End. Enjoy a cup of coffee and a pause in picturesque Lamorna Cove, take in the sights at the open-air Minack Theatre, and be in awe of the towering cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head along the route. A magnificent trek for people wanting quiet, fitness and some of the UK’s best seaside vistas. Penzance serves as an ideal holiday home base, conveniently located for touring the country of Celtic legend, with plenty of attractions nearby to keep the whole family entertained.
