This old coach house stands at the end of the garden of the house in a Grade II listed terrace that it served in the 19th Century. It has been recently renovated to high standard and to current Building Regulations. It has its own South facing private granite walled garden adjacent to the old coach house of the next property. The outlook and environment is very private although it is only 5 minutes walk from the shops in the center of the town. The approach from the main road is via the mews cul-de-sac which allows for car drop-off at the front door. Free parking is in the adjacent streets. The house has central heating run by an air heat pump for green energy economy.

Nice quiet location good host, information was useful clean and tidy property good hot easy to use shower really comfortable beds only ten minute stroll from the main shopping area, parking is on street but didn’t have to much trouble finding a space so didn’t have to pay for car parks , lots of little extras in the kitchen cupboards if wanting to do any home cooking.
We hadden een goed verblijf.
Wat we waardeerden was de plek en de tuin. De keuken had alle apparatuur die je je kon wensen en het functioneerde allemaal. De slaapkamers waren ruim en de douche was voortreffelijk. De buurt is rustig. Susanna was erg vriendelijk.
Minpunten waren: de mufheid van de woonkamer (het ruikt enorm naar natte honden), het oncomfortabele bed in de twin room (te kort, te smal en met omdraaien kiept het bijna om) en het lawaai van de heater die 's nachts aanslaat en pas na een uur of twee weer stopt.
Just loved everything about this home. Great location close to shopping and beach. It had everything we needed and host was super responsive. Will definitely stay again if/when I return to Penzance.

Could be better
Good things:
The Kitchen was well equipped with a good sized fridge and the shower worked well.
Pretty garden.
Lots of info on where to eat, etc.
We were able to leave our bags to collect later on check out day.
We were met by the property owner on arrival. This had to be prearranged as there was no key box however it wasn’t an issue. In entering the house there was an overwhelming stench of dog. The sitting room reeked so much we ended up shutting the door to it to try to contain the smell. Fortunately we weren’t going to be spending much time at the property as we were in the area for work but if we were planning to I honestly don’t think we could have spent any time in that room.
It didn’t matter to us but the TV in the sitting room was incredibly small, so anyone wanting to watch it wouldn’t have found it a pleasant experience. The carpets were very thin, especially on the stairs, making it noisy when ever anyone used them.
Parking was a complete nightmare. You have to reverse down the drive to drop things off but you can’t park outside as you’d be forever moving your car to let others out. There is parking on the street across the road if you are lucky ( we rarely were) but much safer is a long stay car park 5 mins walk away which is free after 4pm until 9am which we weren’t informed about.
The property has potential but needs a thorough deep clean. (We are both dog owners by the way), new carpets and a more friendly welcome from the owner wouldn’t go amiss.
Unser Aufenthalt in Penzance war einfach fantastisch! Die Unterkunft war hervorragend – zentral gelegen, sodass wir alles bequem zu Fuß erreichen konnten. Die Zimmer waren sauber und komfortabel, was unseren Aufenthalt sehr angenehm machte. Unsere Gastgeberin Susanna war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich kann diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
The house met all our needs and the property description was accurate. We were able to find street parking nearby whenever we needed it. Penzance was a great base for visiting other locations in Cornwall.
Property was as described and lovely to have the garden.
Very convenient location for us to walk to town, along promenade and beach to Newlyn and buses to st .Ives etc.
Best of all was Coastliner sitting outside and free with our bus passes.
Only used car to get to a magical evening at The Minack theatre.

Sehr nettes Haus. Für zwei sehr geräumig, da eigentlich für 4 Personen. Alles da was man braucht. Überall Seife. Sogar Waschmaschinen- und Spülmaschinentabs waren da . Zentrum sehr gut fußläufig zu erreichen. Unbedingt an einen Adapterstecker denken..
Lediglich frische Staubsaugerbeutel haben wir vermisst. Terrasse und sehr nettes Gärtchen. Parkplatz zu finden war kein Problem.
The house was easy walking to markets, shops and restaurants. It's an uphill walk from the train station but you pass through the town and get a good idea of all that is available. our host Susanna was very responsive and welcoming and the house was well furnished, including a washing machine, and all kitchen necessities. With better weather, the garden would be a lovely place to relax in the evening. I recommend staying several days as there is so much to see in Cornwall.
Ruhig, aber sehr zentral gelegenes, gemütliches kleines Häuschen mit einem süßen Garten und gut ausgestatteter Küche - nur 10 Minuten zu Fuß zum Bahnhof/zentraler Bushaltestelle und ca. 5 Minuten zur Fußgängerzone. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Vermieterin Susie war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Penzance ist keine Postkartenidylle, aber ein nettes, "authentisches" Städtchen und nicht so überlaufen wie St Ives. Super Ausgangspunkt, um mit dem Bus die Insel zu erkunden: Mousehole, Porthcurno, St. Michael's Mount, Land's End... (Die Küste zwischen Land's End und Porthcurno ist atemberaubend schön!)
Für 50 Pfund gab's ein Familienticket für eine ganze Woche unbeschränkte Bus-Nutzung: GoCornwall Bus. (Ein vollständiger Fahrplan für ALLE Busse ist allerdings über diese App nicht geboten; im Kutschenhaus gibt es aber einen Ordner mit jeder Menge Infos, darunter ein Busfahrplan).
Radfahren würde ich eher nicht empfehlen, die Straßen über Land sind sehr schmal und mehr oder weniger durchgehend von Hecken gesäumt, Radwege nicht vorhanden - und die Autos fahren z.T. ziemlich schnell.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Das Haus war sehr gemütlich, der Garten toll,die Küche super ausgestattet, sehr viele Geschäfte und der Hafen fussläufig zu erreichen.
Von Penzance aus gibt es tolle Busverbindungen zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Unsere Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Es war toll‼️
We just had the best week staying in this beautiful converted coach house. Such a lovely lady who was the host of this property met us on arrival and explained everything. Location was fantastic - walking distance to the town and harbour, but yet it was such a quiet location with very friendly neighbours. We reallly enjoyed using the lovely garden especially for early morning coffee. The house had everything you would ever need for a stay and was warm and cosy. The only problem was we wish we had booked to stay longer! We will return to this property again - fantastic 🙂
Groot, comfortabel huis, erg rustig, met fijne tuin. In de keuken vind je werkelijk álles wat je nodig hebt. Sterke wifi. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar. Winkels op loopafstand.
Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und der Garten sehr gemütlich. Penzance ist ein idealer Ort, um alle interessanten Orte in Cornwall gut zu erreichen. Am Haus kann nir kurz vorgefahren werden, Parken ist kostenlos in Straßen in der Nähe möglich. Die Vermieterin wohnt nebenan, ist sehr nett und bei Fragen immer erreichbar.
After over 1000km drive we arrived in Penzance... navi did 'take us round the houses' but we found our Holiday home after a few minuets. Susie was there and gave us all the info we needed so our holiday could start the second we arrived. Super cosy Coach House, lovely quite garden and nice bedrooms....clean and tidy with TV, games ,books and dvds - just incase of rain..!! 2mins to the first pub, 3 mins to The Farmers arms, with live music on Fri and Sunday. 15min to the water... it is steeper than I remember but even I managed with bad hips and knees.
Back to the house- every thing is there that you need to start , all you need is food. Kitchen was super with washing machine, dishwascher, toaster, kettle, oven , fridge/Freezer, even coffee and sugar in the cupboard.
Beds were make up and towels provided-super All in all the perfect 'get a way'. We really enjoyed our 6 days there and were sorry to leave. Thank you for makeing us welcome...Oh and for the After sun.!!!!!!
Susanna greeted us cheerfully. The house is really well planned out with everything in practical places! Really good to find a 3 bedroom house at such a reasonable cost . The underfloor heating made all the rooms cosy. Comfy beds and good shower. Lots of towels provided which was handy. We parked at the tennis club which is £2:50 a day and a short walk away. There was parking in nearby streets as well . Loved that Causeway Head shopping was so close . Lovely sunny garden. Really quiet at night so could sleep with the windows open . Would definitely stay here again
The Coach House is a comfortable, cosy well equipped holiday home with a pretty garden . It was ideal for our family of 5 adults. Communication with Susie the owner was easy and friendly. The centre of Penzance is a short walk away. Parking is in neighbouring streets.
This property was ideal. Clean, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. No problem to find parking nearby. A short walk to the town centre and a good base for exploring Cornwall. No doubt we will visit again.
Quiet, peaceful comfortable house with lovely courtyard garden. Suzie was always available when needed and very helpful. Short walk into town and plenty of good restaurants to enjoy.

About the host
Hosted by Susanna Huntington
Private owner of property which has been in the family for 50 years + along with adjacent properties. We decided to renovate rather than sell to keep the property in a good state.
What makes this property unique
The house is 5 minutes walk from the centre of the town, but is very private in its mews situation. As it was originally part of a larger historic property listed Grade II, the gardens to the South are very private. So one is in a quiet secluded environment whilst being in the centre of the town.
