Moments from the bustle of downtown Penzance and set conveniently above an award-winning local fish and chip shop, welcome to this light-filled, breezy getaway with sea views visible at every turn. The apartment has been set up with your needs in mind, and while you won't find the personal possessions and framed family portraits of a lived-in home, it wins top marks for classic English seaside vibes. You have endless coastal walks to choose from, and surfers will be in their element, plus you have excellent seafood dining options nearby. Back at home, the sofa can accommodate the whole team, and low-key luxury and barefoot relaxation are the order of the day, while meals outside allow you to take in the local atmosphere as you people-watch over the promenade. If you'd like to explore further afield, head east to Perranuthnoe Beach, Praa Sands and Porthleven Beach, or south-west to Pedn Vounder Beach and the stunning Minack Theatre – all within a twenty-five-minute drive of your home.
