Tucked away in this eclectic seaside town, with 18 century buildings and networks of quiet pedestrian lanes, Abbey Stables is a stone’s throw from the Art Deco salt water sea baths, sea front promenade and Morrab sub tropical gardens. Also within a 5 minute walk there are art galleries and over 25 pubs, restaurants, bars and cafes.
The unique 17th century building has recently been renovated to exacting standards offering spacious, stylish and characterful accommodation for 2 and looks onto its own tranquil cobbled courtyard garden.
Enter via a stylish country modern kitchen, with solid oak worktops, cream units, breakfast bar and comprehensive cooking amenities.
Up a couple of steps into the attractive beamed living/dining area. The romantic ambiance is enhanced by spot lit local art, feature fireplace, exposed granite walls, deep slate window cill and painted floors. There is a 32" HD TV, DVD player, quality sound system for TV & music (bluetooth & CDs) and a choice of books & games. The dining table is beside a stable door which opens onto the garden.
Pass into the cosy beamed bedroom, through a door with stained glass panel, which is painted in restful colours and has a king size bed with padded headboard.
The shower room has a travertine floor and tongue and groove paneled walls and features a hydro-shower booth, with monsoon shower head, massage jets and radio. There is also a basin, toilet and heated towel rail.
Outside there is an attractive courtyard garden for alfresco dining.
All feels charming and luxurious.

Summary of reviews
Quiet courtyard & proximity to shopping were amazing; very clean house, comfortable bed, open & well-fitted lounge & kitchen, spacious bath. Overall, a good stay.
5.0
We stayed for 10 days and overall enjoyed the house. We did have a few issues, however. The internet connection was terrible (the owners were helpful; hopefully they’ve upgraded by now). We stayed in winter when it was hard to open windows and air out the flat. Unfortunately for us, this meant we lived with a strong musty smell throughout our stay. The trick for getting hot water in the shower was to just barely turn on the water. The pressure was reduced but at least the water was hot. The shower drain backed up. Parking is not the issue; the difficulty is turning from a narrow lane into an even narrower close and vice versa. OK, those were our complaints, but the quiet courtyard & proximity to shopping were amazing, the house was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the lounge & kitchen were open & well fitted, and the bath was spacious. Overall, a good stay.

Abbey Stables was charming, comfortable, well equipped, and well located for exploring Penzance and the Cornwall coast. We would certainly return.

Arrived in pouring rain and had real difficulty seeing the lock box and the numbers. Parking was an absolute nightmare. We have a small Lexus but you need to take a tape measure to park as required. Frankly it is not appropriate to say parking works for fairly small cars. It is so difficult to get in. The accommodation is fine and there was a nice welcome pack. Owners had no advice re disposal of rubbish and it felt like we were the first people to deal with the recycling in weeks.
On balance I think the cottage is overpriced. The bedding is just about ok although the blanket needs to be removed.
It is a well equipped kitchen and we had a good holiday but I wouldn’t return to that cottage.

Nice place
Abbey Stables - both the apartment and the courtyard are very quiet and it felt really as home.
Penzance is a very good place to travel around without a car needed. Bus, train and boat on walking distance. Good bicycle hire.
