  • "It was a really nice flat but the street was very busy & very hard to get a parking space."

    The street was very narrow with cars park on both sides so very difficult to drive through a bit dissapointed really in Penzance

  • "We really enjoyed our stay thank you."

    The property was very clean we had everything we needed. Loved how close it is to the town centre and very quiet. For the owner - the heating instructions could be improved as they weren't clear & the kitchen tap was a bit wobbly.

  • "Very well-equipped, clean property."

    Had everything we needed. You need good mobility to stay here due to steep steps at the front of the property and the fact that although just a short walk from the town, it is all steeply uphill on the return journey. No issues though if you are fit as wonderful opportunities for coastal path walking.

  • "Mattress was uncomfortable on first floor so we tried the top floor which was better."

    Shame the top floor wasn’t a king sized bed. There is certainly room. No heating instructions No clear instructions how to use the tassimo machine. No microwave which we didn’t need but some may think that’s a given these days. Otherwise nice quiet spot not far from town

    Thank you very much for providing your feedback following your stay at The Lookout. The mattresses in both bedrooms are the same brand, they are high quality Simba mattresses. The top floor room does have a king size bed, we have adjusted the property description to now reflect this. Instructions for the heating & coffee machine have now been added to the welcome folder. As the counter space in the kitchen is limited the owners have chosen not to provide a microwave, the induction hob and oven are incredibly efficient for all your cooking needs! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "The Look-out was ideal for us as we were arriving in Penzance by train and then relying on buses to take us to different sections of the coast path."

    Just a short walk to all transport options.

The property

Beautifully refurbished and settled into a quaint street of Victorian terraced houses, the top floor boasts views over Mounts Bay to the sea and St Michael's Mount.

Just a short walk to the harbour where you can book a day trip to the Isles of Scilly or just enjoy watching the boats coming and going.

Enjoy the open-plan living area where a stylish sitting room offers you, comfortable modern seating and a smart TV.

The kitchen boasts contemporary furniture, housing loads of great amenities to help out with cooking a hearty family meal, which guests can enjoy at the dining table, making this a wonderful little social hub for everyone to enjoy.

Freshen up in the bathroom, enjoying a soak amongst the bubbles, before settling into one of the two bedrooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor, both with tasteful décor, storage for your belongings and the second-floor king boasts Velux windows, roof beams and views across Mount’s Bay and St Michael’s Mount.

There is also a wonderful study on the first floor, ideal for remote workers.

The town centre of Penzance is just a short walk from the property, so head out into this beautiful seaside town to discover a picturesque harbour and a whole host of pubs, eateries and independent stores for guests to browse at their leisure.

Dining options include The Singing Rooster, Hellys Bistro and the Old Lifeboat House Bistro, ideal for indulging in a heart-warming meal out.

Tours to the Isle of Scilly can be embarked on from the harbour, and there are also several small beaches where you can take in the salty air.

Penzance has convenience stores for your essentials and is within reach of several lovely gardens and historical sites, for example Trewideden Gardens, Carn Euny Ancient Village and Lanyon Quoit.

Days beside the seaside can be spent at one of the many beaches, for example Lamorna Cove Beach and Sennen beach, ideal for watersports, wild swimming or simply enjoying the view with a picnic, and there is also the option to explore the beautiful seaside town of St Ives.

Avid hikers will simply love the many trails threaded through the stunning scenery of the Penwith Heritage Coast, with options including Chun Downs Nature Reserve, Bartinney Nature Reserve, Trenow Cove and the Holy Well of St Madron, plus many more scenic locations just waiting to be discovered.

All of this and so much more with a stay at The Lookout.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a 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 it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. 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.
