Cottages in Penzance Cornwall

'Puffin Cottage', Queens Street, Penzance.

 
Welcome, to Puffin Cottage!

This delightful & stylish one bedroom cottage, offering much character & charm, is situated on the seaward side of Penzance being just 50 yards from the Seafront and Promenade and a short walk to the beautiful subtropical  ‘Morrab Gardens’ - complete with original bandstand, the historic area of Chapel Street and the town centre.

  "Puffin Cottage was exactly how we imagined it to be.
The Special touches of the welcome pack with shortbread and flowers (not forgetting the milk in the fridge) made it seem instantly "ours"
Thank you very much we will definitely return"
Carol and David, South Wales
