    “Super stay at The Bell Tower, its a very clean tidy and very welcoming place to stay.”

    Great views out over the harbour ( looking through the scaffolding bars :( see below). Lovely lot of welcome goodies left, just as well as we forgot our tea bags :(. So cream tea was definitely on the cards, yummy. Our only disappointment was that we were not advised that The Bell Tower had scaffolding up around the building, so hence obscuring the beautiful views slightly and being a very windy weekend, the scaffolders advertising sign was flapping in the wind. But this would stop any future ...

    We had informed sykes to inform guests about the scaffolding. Looks like something went wrong. Also we are asking the advertising to be properly set. Thanks for your understanding Bell Tower is one of the oldest buildings in Cornwall and is undergoing a once in a lifetime renovation and we guarantee will look grand after the tower is repointed The views from the flat have been left maximum untouched the scaffolding mainly on the tower.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
