Comfortable stay - good facilities inside the house- pool table was a bonus - excellent views of the harbour Few concerns - ensuite wrongly advertised as both bathrooms are off the halls / no extra bin bags and main black bin outside the house full -so difficulties in disposing off rubbish No parking facilities - so difficulties in loading and offloading luggage Loud music from pub keeps you awake well into the night !

“Spyglass is a breathtaking property”

As soon as we walked through the door we knew we were in for a treat. The whole house has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. Before our holiday was over we'd booked Spyglass for 2019. The space is luxurious and the views are nothing short of spectacularly breathtaking. I would be stupid to recommend Spyglass because that means I'd have to share it. So be it!

What an excellent property. Very comfortable and great thought has been given to the decor and equipment. Only issue is parking but a weekly parking ticket by the harbour is reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend to any friends visiting the area.

“The Spyglass itself was lovely. An ...”

The Spyglass itself was lovely. An unusual layout which was rather intriguing. Being dog friendly & there aren’t many of these, it was disappointing not to have a small area that the dogs could use for a morning wee. You had to put their leads on as there is a road directly outside the front door. Parking was also an eye opener as the roads around the Spyglass were either double yellow lines or 30 minute parking restrictions. The harbour car park is free between 4pm & 9am which works well if you intend to travel around on day trips. The weather was on our side & overall we had a really nice holiday :) Thank you

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles.

One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas. The spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by 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 is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Scilly Isles. 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.
