About this property
You’ll find this glorious retreat located just a step away from the sea and with it comes unspoilt views, a private, paved courtyard and parking close by.
Song of the Sea enjoys a prime position just 20 yards from the seafront in Penzance and overlooks Jubilee Pool, the large seawater lido. The cottage is ideally situated to explore the area with either family or friends. Historic Chapel Street is just around the corner with a choice of great pubs and restaurants, art galleries and boutiques. The harbour is a short walk away; here you can organise fishing trips, wildlife cruises and the ferry for trips to the Isles of Scilly. A stroll away, along the promenade, is Morrab Gardens, a children’s play area, a skate park and then the village of Newlyn to buy fresh fish for supper.
The cottage has been comfortably furnished throughout and is set over two floors with the living space on the ground floor and the bedrooms upstairs. The open-plan living/dining room has a Smart TV with access to Netflix, and an Xbox 360; whilst the kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to rustle up a delicious holiday meal. Outside you will find a spacious paved courtyard which has a large picnic-style table and a barbecue for al-fresco dining.

Mrs Zwaenepoel
We traveled with 3 friends by train. The house was the perfect place to be. We had separated rooms and we had very cozy places to be together. On a walking distance to nice places in Penzance and a view on the sea. Railway- and busstations were very close. It was paradise.

Really lovely cottage, perfect for for Penzance seafront and town. Car parking was busy but we always managed to park nearby (late April). Would very happily stay there again.
