Perfectly located for touring the far west of Cornwall and its outstanding beaches, this spacious, detached house is set in more than seven acres of its own land, just outside Penzance on the road to Land's End. As you go down the private drive that sweeps down to Avallon House, you get a sense of the privacy and seclusion that this holiday home offers. With ample space for parking around the house, pull up alongside the conservatory and enter this lovely spacious room overlooking the front gardens, the perfect spot to relax whilst watching the children play outside.

Our dogs had fun in the fields and in the river which they always love. Able to sit outside each evening to enjoy the weather and relax. Many thanks will be back next year.

It is situated in a really peaceful part of the country with a stream where you can go paddling and very large private grounds that you can make full use of. I wouldâve given it a higher rating, but the start of our holiday was slightly spoiled. The owner kindly agreed that we could check in an hour early but the cleaner then arrived 20 minutes after and was a little rude. She only spent about 30 minutes cleaning and said she had done a big clean the week before, but after she left, we found that the fridge freezer had not been emptied and The fridge have been turned on when I arrived we had to put it in a warm fridge. Also a little disappointed that the barbecue mentioned in the listing wasnât available. If we knew the property would be cleaned properly, we would book again. Didnât raise these two issues with the owner as she seemed to be very busy and wasnât local, and we didnât want to deal with the Cleaner again.
