    Nothing!

    This property was perfect for me, my husband and my dog. It’s was super clean, super comfy and in a great location. The owners instructions on how to find it were spot on and easy to follow and the little things round the property like tea bags, milk and biscuits were lovely touches. The kitchen was really well equipped and everything was easy to find. The garden was a perfect size for the dog to potter around and it was lovely and quiet!

    The property was lovely but no view from inside, just the garden.

    The location was good but to appreciate the view you had to go outside.

    Not really negatives but as others have said there is no view from the windows, but if you walk a few paces from the front car park you can look down across Long Rock beach. The shower room is effectively a "wet room" so bring flip flops or slippers if you want to avoid getting damp feet. I would also suggest bringing a torch if you arrive after dark, to help you get in. It's a 15-20 minute walk to the centre of town.

    A clean, modern, well-equipped and reasonably spacious ground floor apartment up a hill on the eastern edge of Penzance. The furniture is simple but there's everything I needed - good sized fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, reliable internet, plenty of sockets including next to the beds, and a very comfy bed. It was good value at the time I went, and there is a dedicated parking space. There's also a small enclosed garden with deck chairs. It's mostly quiet apart from occasional (very soft, and not at all bothersome) sounds from the flat above. Very communicative host who always responded quickly to messages.

    Absolutely nothing!

    Lovely, well furnished and well equipped apartment with everything we needed to self cater. A wonderful base from which to explore the coast path. Very peaceful, even though it is in a block of apartments. It was great to have the enclosed garden for the dog. Lovely communication from the owner.

    The bathroom is a wet room which made a wet floor every time you needed to use the loo. We couldn’t use the towel rail (which didn’t seem to turn on) as the bathroom was heavily condensed despite the extractor fan. Sadly, no view over the bay until you are in the car park.

    Very dog friendly and easy walkable access into town. We liked the fact that cooking was made easier due to all the equipment there. If we’d stayed longer, we could have done some baking.

    Unfortunately, it was too hilly for my mum,it's ok going down but not coming back up. There are plenty of taxis though.

    Lovely little 2 bedroom apartment with lovely outside space. It's very quiet.Not far from the centre of town,all downhill.Penzance is ideal for getting to other parts of Cornwall if you do not want to drive as it has excellent public transport links.

    Only thing we can comment on is we would have loved a hoover! There is a sweeping brush and dustpan & brush provided but for our own cleanliness with a hairy dog we would have liked to have hoovered up during our stay.

    We came here for our mini-moon and have come away feeling really happy and well rested. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Little touches such as prosecco, biscuits, tea, milk and dog treats & poo bags were really lovely. Great location, just a 12-15min walk to the seafront with all the shops and restaurants. Super comfortable beds with amazing pillows! Kitchen has all the utensils you need and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.

    Nothing we didn’t like. Hilly walk up from Penzance and steps to property so would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues but clue is in the description (above the bay) and it didn’t bother us. I would also say once you’ve had a shower and wet room floor is wet you do then get wet feet again when going back into bathroom. We couldn’t understand why not just a normal shower installed ? Perhaps for accessibility reasons but given location and steps to property this didn’t make sense. However this did not distract from excellent stay as floor dried off whilst we were out during day and was not slippery when wet.

    Very clean and warm. Helpful guide to the property left for us and excellent communication before our stay around access etc. Thoughtful touch was to leave tea, biscuits along with cake and Prosecco as it was a birthday stay. Bedding and towels like new and there was nothing we couldn’t find we needed in kitchen either.
