Cornerstone is a contemporary, detached holiday home situated on the outskirts of Penzance, Cornwall. This pet-friendly abode enjoys a large, enclosed garden with a bubbling hot tub, furniture to dine alfresco and a pond, perfect for families, friends and two dogs. Enter the gated driveway and step inside the home, where you will find the white-glossed kitchen with an island to prepare home-cooked meals. Gather at the dining table to tuck-into a feast; afterwards savour a glass of wine in the conservatory as you admire your surroundings, which is shaded with palm trees. Catch-up on your favourite shows in the light and airy sitting room and when the sky darkens, watch the stars from the hot tub in the rear garden. When eyes tire, there are three bedrooms on the ground floor, with two king-size bedrooms with a TV, one with an en-suite shower room, and a bunk room with a TV, ideal for the younger ones. Venture upstairs to the first floor to discover another king-size bed with a TV, an en-suite and Velux windows to see the starry sky. Head into the heart of the town of Penzance, home to a quint harbour and promenade for coastal views, as well as the National Trust - Trengwainton Garden for a 16th century home. Spend the day in the picturesque town of St Ives, where you stroll along Porthgwidden Beach, relax on the sand, or take a swim in the sea. There are also plenty of restaurants and pubs in St Ives, as well as a variety of shops, so you can enjoy a bit of retail therapy during your stay. Also within easy reach is the town of Marazion; here you can paddle in crystal clear water, sunbathe on sandy beaches, and dine out with a great selection of eateries to choose from. All this and more awaits at Cornerstone.
Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival are all held in Penzance. Additionally, there are the Penlee, Newlyn, and Exchange art galleries. The breathtaking sweep of Mount's Bay, which stretches from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to lovely Marazion, is one of Cornwall's most well-liked vacation spots. The coastline conceals a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore.

Lots of garden for you dogs to run around in . Beautiful conservatory to sit and talk or just star gaze spent most our time in the conservatory. Kitchen has got everything you need & more . Lots of tv's But we found hard to get working as to many remotes to each tv sky signal was very temperamental. This was our only niggle in the whole property Hot tub was wonderful & such a delightful end to a long day . Wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future.
