Penrose Reviews.

Great villa set in a quiet secluded and peaceful location, we enjoyed our stay in a spacious well equipped villa in a beautiful setting
We recommend this lovely holiday property to anyone staying in this area.
We will be coming back to stay in Penrose again.
Rajen, Pushpa and family.

Great location with both Flushing Cove and Gillan Cove a short walk away, along with direct access to the coastal path.
Penrose is well laid out with two bedrooms either side if the main living room area and access to the deck area which js a great area to hang out on a nice day.
We walked over to Helford and visited Kestle Barton gallery and garden and popped into the pub. Our teens did a brilliant windsurfing course over in Coverack and we hired a boat from Sailaway St Anthony just across the creek.
Lovely meal at The New Inn in Manaccan and visited Roskilly’s for large tubs of ice cream.
We had a great stay, thank you very much.

As a family we couldn’t have asked for a better location than Penrose, it was fantastic, quiet and secluded and welcoming.
Our teenagers loved their rooms and the area, Helston is only 15/20 minutes away and has plenty of shops and pubs.
We would definitely recommend.
