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.

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.
