“My brother's and I visit our mum annually together in Cornwall and spyglass is a fantastic base to do this from, the apartment helps enhance our already great relationship we have with each other before going home to our own families.”

Thank you spyglass

“Having stayed in the Spyglass previously we knew what a superb apartment and location we were getting but one thing that was not mentioned was that over the New Year period the Admiral Benbow has very loud music playing until gone midnight, not ideal with children, this though did not distract from the holiday and we will be booking again.”

“The cottage was gorgeous.”

It was warm, welcoming, a Christmas tree in the living room and the dog took to the place straight away (she's usually quite restless on the first day). Though there wasn't a welcome pack mentioned, there were supplies provided to make tea, coffee and hot chocolate and a pack of mince pies. The only downside was the parking, as there was nowhere to park near the cottage and it was raining heavily when we arrived, which made unpacking the car very difficult. The parking hasn't deterred us and we've just booked a short break, but we are coming by train this time.

“We arrived at the holiday let, Was very awkward to find the key and parking near by to unload was a nightmare.”

However we was very impressed with the holiday let itself, inside was quirky and done to a high standard, only down side was lack of wardrobes in bedrooms and no highchair for a baby even though they supplied a travel cot. We had a fantastic stay for the majority of our booking. However the note that states some minor noise from being close to town was an understatement. Saturday evening after spending 7 hours on the road getting there and then unpacking we wanted nothing more to cuddle up get the kids to bed early and relax. However that was far from the reality. Extremely loud music pounced though all the walls from around 8pm to 1230am which ment we couldn't get the kids to be until it stopped, we couldn't listen to TV and relax as the noise was unbearable and I think it should state its actually attached to a pub and that it can be very loud, Everything else was great just a shame that this had a massive effect on our break. Also we thought 900 pound was extremely expensive for 4 nights with the noise disturbance no parking and no garden

“Outstanding, unusual and cozy house”

Such a beautiful and unusual home, we absolutely loved our stay here and are already planning to come back in the Winter. The interior of the apartment is fascinating, with curved hallways and double staircases, it's also really wonderfully furnished, with comfy sofas, gorgeous and well-stocked kitchen and two big, clean bathrooms. There was even a DIY cream tea and a vase of flowers set out for us on arrival - how nice is that! The house is so comfortable and luxurious It's just a pleasure to be in there. On top of all that, there's a games area with ping pong, pool and air hockey and a fabulous view over the bay which you can see from your lounging spot on the couch. It's also about a minutes walk to one of the main streets of Penzance with pubs, cafes and shops right there. Honestly, is there anything else you need? The only tiny thing is that the downstairs bedroom has no blind and gets very light, so if that bothers you, bring an eye guard.

“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!

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.
