Situated in the heart of historic Penzance, next to the sub-tropical Morrab Gardens, it's just a few minutes’ walk from the promenade and the sea. Combining lovely period features with a modern kitchen and a luxury bathroom, it is stylishly equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. Once parked up you can forget the car if you want, and just relax with everything needed for a great holiday close by. If you’re bringing your four-legged friend they will be in heaven and the enclosed courtyard garden is lovely for you to enjoy a BBQ on a summer evening when it’s just too good to be inside. LOCATION Located in the heart of this famous harbour town you are in one of the most sought-after enclaves in Penzance. The tucked away but central location is a short stroll from the popular Chapel Street and the high street and is situated perfectly for exploring the best the town and surrounding areas has to offer. The wonderful sub-tropical Morrab Gardens are right on your doorstep and the best local attractions, shops, galleries, bars, pubs and restaurants are all within walking distance. You can be in the oldest pub in Penzance, The Turks Head, dating from 1233, in a matter of minutes. Have a drink or a meal here and you’ll be stepping back in history, enjoying the same public house as pirates and smugglers did 750 years ago. Or walk along the seafront to the famous Jubilee Pool, the UK’s largest Art Deco seawater lido. Penzance is the gateway to the Land’s End peninsula and in the far west of Cornwall nothing is far away. The fishing harbour of Newlyn is a 20-minute walk along the seafront promenade, and the quaint village of Mousehole is only a 10-minutes' drive away and also a lovely walk. Marazion, with the famous St. Michael’s Mount, is easy to walk or drive to. St. Ives is easily reached using the scenic rail line from Penzance station. Sennen Cove, The Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, and The Cornish Mining World Heritage Site on the north coast, are all an easy drive away too. LIVING You enter into the Victorian tiled hallway with the comfortable living room with a sofa (it’s a sofa bed and can be made up on request), armchair and dining table. It’s a great place to relax after a day’s adventures and there’s a large-screen smart TV and a selection of books to choose from. The original timber sash window, with wooden shutters, has a window seat, the perfect place to enjoy the view to the pretty garden. COOKING & EATING If you choose to eat in you won’t be disappointed with this well-equipped kitchen. Make the most of the social space while you cook up a banquet to enjoy from the dining table in the living room. There is an electric cooker with a grill and three-ring hob, large fridge-freezer, slimline dishwasher, kettle and toaster, Nespresso coffee machine and pretty much every utensil you could think of! SLEEPING You’re sure to sleep soundly in the king-size bed with a luxury mattress topper and non-allergenic duvet. There’s a chest of drawers as well as a wardrobe providing space for storing your clothes. The vintage dressing table with a chair and desk lamp is the perfect place to pen your postcard home. Relax in bed with a cup of coffee, turn on the wall-mounted TV and enjoy a lazy morning. In the living room there is a high-quality, hand-made sofa bed with a 14cm-deep, pocket-sprung mattress, to comfortably accommodate either a third guest or for alternative sleeping arrangements. This can be made up on request. BATHING Relax in the luxury bathroom (off the kitchen). A great corner shower, full size bath, WC, basin and a mirror. There is a socket for shaving or charging your toothbrush. There’s also a heated towel rail, underfloor heating and an extractor fan. OUTSIDE You enter the apartment through a tall gate leading into the characterful private garden and through to the front door. There’s a table and chairs as well as a metal BBQ shelf which makes the space perfect for relaxing with a sundowner following a long day exploring all Penzance and the far west has to offer. UTILITY There’s a washer-dryer in the kitchen and the under stairs cupboard has a drying rack, iron, plug in radiator, sun-loungers, torch and first aid kit. USEFUL TO KNOW… PARKING: There is a private parking space situated a few minutes’ walk away - you can pull up close by the apartment to unload (it is a little tight so make sure you are confident and follow the details in our guide on manoeuvring in and driving back round to the parking space). WI-FI: There’s free unlimited Wi-Fi at The Secret Garden. HEATING: Gas central heating throughout will be comfortably set so you don't need to do anything. There is an

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
