Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that the issues raised during your stay were dealt with promptly. Where there is limited space in a property, it is better not to overcrowd with anything that may not be a necessity. We are glad that you enjoyed the views and the property location. Property Owner
Mrs Stockton July 2021

“The cottage was fabulous.”

Small but compact. Great central location. Would thoroughly recommend. The cream tea and milk were an additional bonus after travelling most of the day

Mr Robinson July 2021

“Some of the drawers and other storage smelled musty and may have been damp.”

Otherwise a great location but nor recommended for anyone with mobility problems

- Mr Robinson, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I have discussed your comments with the owner. The storage units do have a lining in to prevent this from happening. We have not had any other guests mention this problem. We do advise that prior to booking you contact us to discuss any mobility problems you might have to check that the property is suitable for you. Property Owner
Mr Biswell June 2021

“Very good base to be to tour Cornwall just out side town so very quiet but only 5 mins walk to all the shops and pubs”

- Mr Biswell, June 2021

“The weather turned cold for June, so we wanted to use the electric fire which was listed as one of the contents.”

We could not find it, and phoned Sykes but they could not locate it and promised to return our call after we had been hanging on the phone for about 20 - 30 minutes.Sykes did not phone back, so we had to remain cold. Our daughter and her husband stayed in the cottage in April and used the electric fire which was there then. I assume either that it had broken and been sent for repair, or it had been removed for some other reason. either way we should have been informed of it's absence. It should have been noted at change-over time, and we should have been informed and promised a replacement.

- Mr Heath, June 2021

I’m very sorry you had an issue during your stay. By turning the thermostat to “sun” symbol the heating will automatically increase to 21 degrees. If for whatever reason this is not enough the temperature can be increased while set to “sun.” It’s in Information Pack, but I will endeavour to make clearer. Property Owner
Mr King June 2021

“A lovely old cottage with all the amenities you need, in a great location in central Penzance near the dock and the promenade.”

Lovely old historic pubs on the doorstep and excellent restaurants. Penzance is central for many beautiful and interesting places. The only little negative was that the WiFi lost it's internet connection on the day before we left, but we didn't really mind that.

Dock Cottage is a quaint fisherman's cottage, boasting idyllic harbour views, just off a one way road in the centre of Penzance, Cornwall.

Accessed via a passageway on Chapel Street, this lovely cottage is ideal for a couple or small group wanting to escape to the coast, while also being close to the amenities and attractions of Penzance.

Step inside the property and be met with a contemporary, bright kitchen/diner with neutral decor, wooden worktops and a charming dining table to enjoy meals at, lovingly prepared in the well-equipped kitchen area, kitted out with all the mod cons you could possibly need for a self-catered stay.

Upstairs you will find a cosy sitting room where you can enjoy a movie night on the TV, and the window offers superb harbour views, so you can truly appreciate your setting.

When it comes to catching a good night's rest, you will find bedrooms and bathrooms on both floors, ideal if you're a small group wanting your own space, consisting of a ground-floor single bedroom with large single bed, served by the family bathroom, along with a double bedroom boasting further harbour views and an en-suite shower room with lovely Velux window.

Outside you will find off-road parking for one car just a short walk from the property, as well as a patio area where you can further enjoy the harbour views.

Avid walkers can easily access the South West Coast Path, which runs right through Penzance, leading you towards Land's End and encompassing sights like Lamorna Cove, Gwennap Head and the open air Minnack Theatre along the way.

Spend a day at the beach, also a short walk away, for a family-friendly afternoon sunbathing and splashing around in the sea, or head to the Jubilee Pool for an alternative swimming facility.

Wildlife lovers will relish the chance to explore Trewidden House & Gardens, boasting a 15-acre garden, filled with hundreds of different types of magnolias and camellias, planted originally in the 19th century.

Hop on a ferry to Marazion at Penzance Ferry terminal, where you can access a host of charming sandy beaches, as well as the magnificent St Michael's Mount, with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens, which can be accessed via a causeway at low tide.

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.
