Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting the cleanliness as a standout feature. One issue with the hot tub was resolved quickly, indicating good maintenance and attention to cleanliness.
The location is generally seen as great for exploring West Cornwall, with proximity to shops, beaches, and a pub. However, some guests found the proximity to the busy A30 road to be a source of noise, which affected the tranquillity of the outdoor space.
Guests find the property comfortable, with quality furnishings and beds. One review mentioned an uncomfortable mattress, but this seems to be an isolated comment within the overall positive feedback on comfort.
Facilities are highly praised, including a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and ample space. There are mentions of minor issues such as broken handheld showers and a lack of detailed instructions for the TV and hot tub, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.
Guests have noted the thoughtfulness of the owners, mentioning a welcome pack upon arrival. While this is appreciated, it should be noted that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Cornerstone is a contemporary, detached holiday home situated on the outskirts of Penzance, Cornwall. This pet-friendly abode enjoys a large, enclosed garden with a bubbling hot tub, furniture to dine alfresco and a pond, perfect for families, friends and two dogs. Enter the gated driveway and step inside the home, where you will find the white-glossed kitchen with an island to prepare home-cooked meals. Gather at the dining table to tuck-into a feast; afterwards savour a glass of wine in the conservatory as you admire your surroundings, which is shaded with palm trees. Catch-up on your favourite shows in the light and airy sitting room and when the sky darkens, watch the stars from the hot tub in the rear garden. When eyes tire, there are three bedrooms on the ground floor, with two king-size bedrooms with a TV, one with an en-suite shower room, and a bunk room with a TV, ideal for the younger ones. Venture upstairs to the first floor to discover another king-size bed with a TV, an en-suite and Velux windows to see the starry sky. Head into the heart of the town of Penzance, home to a quint harbour and promenade for coastal views, as well as the National Trust - Trengwainton Garden for a 16th century home. Spend the day in the picturesque town of St Ives, where you stroll along Porthgwidden Beach, relax on the sand, or take a swim in the sea. There are also plenty of restaurants and pubs in St Ives, as well as a variety of shops, so you can enjoy a bit of retail therapy during your stay. Also within easy reach is the town of Marazion; here you can paddle in crystal clear water, sunbathe on sandy beaches, and dine out with a great selection of eateries to choose from. All this and more awaits at Cornerstone.
Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival are all held in Penzance. Additionally, there are the Penlee, Newlyn, and Exchange art galleries. The breathtaking sweep of Mount's Bay, which stretches from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to lovely Marazion, is one of Cornwall's most well-liked vacation spots. The coastline conceals a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. The National Trust's breathtakingly gorgeous St. Michael's Mount, with its hilltop fortress and Mediterranean gardens, is connected by a causeway to the sea at Marazion.

We have eaten out at many places but with the house having everything you need we have also had some lovely meals in. Would definitely return to this little beauty.

All appliances are easy to use and the owners have thought of everything you'd need to have a relaxing time away. The garden is private, large and beautifully planted, with a long lawn expanse that is great for dogs running around. There is ample parking. It is just a 20 minute walk into town or down to the promenade.

You need a PhD to work out the TVs and the hand held showers are all Brocken and need replacing. Other than that a fabulous holiday home.
