About this property
This charming bolthole, a former artist's studio, lies in the heart of Penzance off Regency Chapel Street and commands lovely ocean vistas. An ideal escape for two, Sea View allows for a relaxing holiday with all the amenities of Penzance practically on your doorstep. Accessed via a gated courtyard and a set of stairs, you enter the property to find the well-equipped kitchen, allowing a home cooked meal to be enjoyed. A shower room with WC and hand basin complete the first floor. A further set of stairs will give you access to the bedroom, complete with a double bed and fitted wardrobes with hanging space and a window nook where you may sit and enjoy some picturesque sea views; there is also a seating area and TV/DVD for you to unwind looking over the roof tops to The Marina. The central location of the property means you are never more than a short walk from a range of amenities, including a wealth of independent shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. The famous Lido, where Chapel Street meets The Promenade, offers safe seawater swimming and sunbathing. Why not take an evening stroll to Penzance Harbour to watch the boats and surfers and enjoy “catch of the day”? Long Rock Beach is the largest sandy beach from the town, a walk or bus trip 2 miles from the property, and offers a range of watersports other beaches are near the Lido and all the way next to the promenade to Newlyn. Walk the coastal path to Marazion and St Michael’s Mount, a rocky island crowned by a medieval church and castle. Explore further afield by hopping on the scenic coastal railway to St Ives, where you will find more beautiful beaches, superb eateries and shopping delights, or visit Land’s End by open top bus and look out for seals, dolphins and basking sharks.
One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas. The spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Scilly Isles. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.

Lovely to see the harbour from the kitchen window . Would have been nice to have a shaver point and although we are not on holiday to watch television the signal was so poor, I am sure a better aerial would resolve this issue.

The property was impractical to stay in for a week - no proper table, no trays, two tiny towels, a broken shower knob that made showering difficult. I recommend that the owner stay in it for a week to gain some understanding. The photos flatter to deceive. The bed and upstairs chairs were reasonably comfortable but every piece of kit feels like the cheapest option. I had never used a potato peeler that didn't peel before. No loo roll or milk or any small welcoming gesture on arrival . We rent a lot and this made us feel like income generators rather than guests. Plus, we were told that the work next door would be painting only. It was not. I hope it's not the same property owner.

It could not be better located for shops, pubs and restaurants, and has a lovely view over the harbour. The bedroom/living area is accessed up a spiral staircase, and is comfortable and bright, with windows overlooking Chapel Street below, and across the rooftops to Mounts Bay. The kitchen/dining area downstairs is basic, but perfectly adequate. When I arrived, there was an issue with what appeared to be paint residue on some of the surfaces. This was raised with the agents, and resolved within 24 hours. It transpired that the cleaner had started using a new liquid for some surfaces, which was dissolving the paintwork. I enjoyed my stay here, and would happily stay again.
