Penzance Cottage is a quaint, clean accommodation just 2 minutes walk from the railway station and harbour. A cosy place to stay if you need a base to explore southern Cornwall. Perfect location for all of Penzance’s amenities and attractions. Easy access to the premises and room via a keypad which is so convenient for travellers who arrive after business hours. Great room in an old stone cottage. Comfy bed, plus fantastic kitchen and dining areas. Spotless bathroom with lovely hot shower. Love it!

Trevose Harbour House

St Ives (Near Penzance)

Nestled between the Harbour Beach and Porthminster Beach, Trevose Harbour House is in the heart of the bustling seaside town of St Ives.

Trevose Harbour House is simply delightful. Furnished with love and attention to detail - partly with midcentury furniture. Extremely well-equipped bathroom with rain shower. And I don't think I've ever had such a clean room. Every day we felt like we had just moved in. The exceptionally good breakfast deserves special mention. It leaves nothing to be desired (I read in one of the other reviews of Trevose Harbour House that a guest missed the breakfast buffet. I can't reproduce that). Every hot dish is prepared to the minute by the owners themselves, decorated with love and tastes wonderful. All in all, the experience of the owners, Angela and Olivier, in top establishments is palpable at every moment. We had overlooked the fact (it is of course in the terms and conditions) that check in is possible from 4pm. We were just standing outside the door at 12.00 noon. Eloise, who supports the owners in all matters, was there 20 minutes later and welcomed us. Dear Eloise, thank you again for that! What is not relevant for us, but should be noted in case of restrictions (and is also written in other reviews): the house is on a hillside and has many stairs. In addition, the location is great for exploring Cornwall as St Ives train station is close by (5 minutes walk) and with the connection to St Erth (as an interchange station) all trains are accessible in every direction.
