Masons Cottage is a contemporary, terraced cottage resting in the heart of the coastal town of Penzance. Set across three floors, with flexible sleeping arrangements and within easy reach of excellent amenities, the cottage makes an ideal base for a family holiday in Cornwall. Off-road parking ensures an easy arrival, before entering the quaint blue door of this delightful cottage. Clean, white walls and hard wooden floors grace the interior along with stylish furnishings throughout. Immediately climb the stairs to find a bright and airy open-plan living space on the first floor, complete with dining for four people and a well-appointed kitchen area; rustle up hearty meals or beach picnics with the electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and ample storage space. After a long day exploring the coast, sink into the leather sofas of the sitting area, with a rug for two well-behaved dogs to rest on, whilst you host a movie marathon on the Smart TV. Follow the stairs down to the lower-ground-floor utility/garage to throw sandy clothes and towels straight into the handy washing machine. Rinse off in the sleek, second-floor shower room whilst your towel toasts on the heated towel rail, before retiring to one of two well-presented bedrooms. Catch your rest in the king-size room with a TV for lazy mornings under the covers, whilst the twin room is ideal for either two younger guests or a second couple thanks to the zip/link feature; both bedrooms offer ample storage space for your holiday essentials. With the attractions of Penzance right on your doorstep, be sure to venture along the promenade for fish and chips, browse the exhibitions at the stunning, Victorian Penlee House Gallery & Museum, whilst plenty of shops and eateries ensure a comfortable self-catering holiday in Cornwall. The local train station puts you within easy reach of nearby towns and villages throughout Cornwall! Enjoy a day out in the neighbouring Marazion for a boat trip across to St Michael's Mount, an iconic island with a medieval castle and sub-tropical gardens to explore, whilst the town itself has family-friendly and dog-friendly sandy beaches to soak up the sun, play in the sand and paddle in the sea. Further north lies St Ives, a renowned seaside resort famed for its Bohemian atmosphere; laze along the sandy beaches, wander through Tate St Ives or follow winding, cobbled streets to find plenty of interesting boutiques and cafés. A walker's paradise, Cornwall offers plenty of trails taking guests along dramatic coastlines with tranquil bays and spectacular vistas from the likes of Clodgy Point and Gurnard's Head. Journey further south to Sennen, a picturesque, coastal civil parish near to Penwith Heritage Coast, scattered with historic ruins and grassy clifftops. Hike all the way to Land's End, visit the secluded Nanjizal Beach or discover Carn Euny Ancient Village, the ruins of a preserved, prehistoric village. With so much to discover along Cornwall's coast, book your holiday at Masons Cottage for the perfect location.
Penzance, with its winding alleys, shops, bars, restaurants, and harbour, is a must-visit with a harbour for day voyages to the Isles of Scilly. The South West Coast Path, which passes through Penzance on its route to Land's End, weaves its way along the clifftops. As you reach Gwennap Head, stop for a coffee and a rest at picturesque Lamorna Cove, see the open-air Minack Theatre, and wonder at the cliffs. Penzance is an ideal vacation destination to explore the best of Cornwall.

Well situated with everything in walking distance. Great to have the off street parking.
Christine
I particularly liked the off-road parking, and although it is as tight as described, our Skoda Fabia fit just right. My son was very appreciative of the smart tv
Sue
Perhaps both issues are related. Otherwise no issues. Thanks.
