The house was spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent in a quiet street with very easy access to the centre, the coast and the attractions around the area.

We had a lovely time at this house. We loved that it was so close to the seafront. The house had all the amenities, and space we needed.
We really appreciated all the books too, plenty to read. The house was very clean and smelt amazing.
It was a great location for us to go and see all the sites Cornwall has to offer.
We also recommend the fish and chip shop on the sea front.
Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay. Kids were happy of the separate rooms. House is close to the sea, a supermarket and some restaurants. All what we needed was available in the house. We had really nice days.
Thanks and regards

Very happy to hear you had a good holiday. You were great guests and thank you for leaving the house really clean and tidy. Come again!
The property exceeded our expectations and we had a brilliant stay in a spacious townhouse. The rooms are spacious but homely with high ceilings and comfy features. The kitchen and bathroom was well equipped and the location was just a short walk to amenities in the town centre. We would highly recommend this listing for small groups and families.

We love that you enjoyed the house, most of our guests love the space and high ceilings! Thanks for looking after the house and leaving it in great condition. Isn't it a great location for getting around? So much to do and see, and Penzance is such a lovely town, glad you had a great time here, hope to see you again! :)
The house is lovely decorated and real spacious and clean. It’s near the sea and there are dozens beautiful beaches in the surroundings! We also went to the open air theatre in the park around the corner. In the evening we watched the dvd’s that are available. We really enjoyed our week in Penzance. We recommand this house!

Thanks for booking with us and for leaving the house lovely and clean and tidy. I'm glad you had a good holiday. Maria
Everything as described online. Quiet street close to the promenade, centre and parks and even free tennis courts (rackets and balls were available in the House). St. Ives, Sennen Cove, the south west coast path are good to reach by car, train etc. Penzance itself has good Shops, pubs, restaurants and the Jubilee Pool! The house is spacious, the kitchen is well equipped for our needs . Whenever we had a question, communication with Maria was easy, fast, kind and helpful. Parking is quite easy, always found a space close to the house. Please be aware of the birds and their „output“, it is highly recommended to not park the car under trees. Overall, we enjoyed our 10 days here very much! Thank you, Maria and Jimmy!

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Penzance and the local area has a lot to offer. Do come back! Maria and Jimmy
Wir hatten als Familie mit drei Kindern einen sehr schönen zehntägigen Aufenthalt in dem Haus von Maria und Jimmy. Es ist sehr großzügig mit viel Platz, gut ausgestattet und aufgrund der persönlichen Dinge (Pflanzen, Bücher) wirkte es sehr einladend und gemütlich. Wir haben viele Ausflüge mit Leihauto in der Umgebung gemacht, das Busnetz ist aber auch sehr gut ausgebaut.Alles in allem ein toller Aufenthalt.

Thanks Caroline, so glad you had a good stay. Maria
Maison très confortable, on se sent vite chez soi. Très bien placé : plusieurs parcs à proximité avec des jeux pour les enfants, des cours de tennis accessibles (Maria et Jimmy ont des raquettes), ballade sur les quais. Penzance est vraiment une ville agréable à découvrir et à vivre. Maria et Jimmy facilitent la communication, c'est serein.. merci pour tout

Very nice house, good location and local amenities, nice park next door and nice property manager which helped with the overall experience. Close to the seaside and port, and a good location to travel to other parts of Cornwall

Thanks Laurent for choosing our house and for looking after it. Maria
Ein wunderbar, liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus, in dem es an nichts fehlt.
Sehr nette Gastgeber, wir fühlten uns willkommen, bekamen Ausflugstips, wurden vom ersten Einkauf abgeholt, weil da viel zu schleppen war, und wurden immer wieder gefragt ob wir alles haben.

About the host
Hosted by Maria & Jimmy
We love to travel and meet new people. We have 2 grown sons and are embracing life on the other side! This is the first time we have let our house and we look forward to meeting our guests and to helping you have the best holiday experience.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this house the first time we stepped inside. It was tired and in need of a total refurbishment, quite a challenge! But Jimmy has worked miracles and between us we think we have created a home which is cheerful, comfortable but still with a sympathetic eye for the original features, keeping the feeling of a grand old town house.
What makes this property unique
Tons of space! High ceilings, large rooms and a gorgeous stairwell with many original features, grandeur and elegance.
