Central Penzance gem

Very nice room with kitchen area, big shower room and view of a lovely garden. Great decor. Very comfy bed. Absolutely everything we could possibly need and bread, milk etc for our arrival. Also very well situated close to the town centre. Outside staircase access but the host’s charming son, who happened to be outside when we arrived, kindly carried our bags up for us.

Perfect location to explore the region

Alec's little annex was perfect for us. It was clean, very attractively furnished and Alec provided us with everything we needed for the first few days. The fridge was well stocked. The location was awesome, within walking distance of the harbor, bus station and good restaurants. There was also a parking space, which is not a given. We can unconditionally recommend the accommodation. Thank you very much

Great home base fir exploring Cornwall

Mazey’s Place is a lovely studio apartment and was a great place for my husband and I to stay while exploring this area of Cornwall. We loved returning to this quiet spot with a view over the lovely garden when we returned each day from a long hike. Lots of brochures and books to help you plan out your days. Alec was a great host. There for us if we needed anything, but not intrusive. Highly recommend.
