Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Penzance

Wharf side was described to us by a local resident as a “hidden gem”. It’s in a slightly quirky location, on the second floor above a shopping centre. Very easy walking distance to just about everything in Penzance town centre. Access to the second floor is either by a lift or combination of escalator and lift. There are stairs if you’re feeling energetic. The lift and escalator don’t operate in the evening (or didn’t when we stayed) so we suggest you check on times in advance if you need them. Steven’s home is small town house on two floors, very well equipped and maintained and with a very cosy feel. It has everything you’d expect, all new or newish and in very good condition. Good size bedrooms and bathroom. We immediately felt at home. It’s very close to the harbour and local shops. It has an allocated parking space a couple of minutes walk away. We were very comfortable throughout our stay and thoroughly enjoyed a few days in Steven’s home.

Lovely stay, gorgeous house and neighborhood. Landlords were 100% friendly and responsive to all queries.

Sam’s place was terrific! Clean, cozy, tastefully appointed. All the amenities. Great location. Charm and character. Super stylish. Sam was a pleasure to deal with. Would happily book this lovely spot again!

We absolutely loved our stay in the house and in Newlyn. The house is beautiful - it’s tastefully decorated with quality furnishings, lovely decor, and nice kitchen equipment. It always seemed to have exactly what we needed - sockets in sensible places, milk in the fridge, bedside tables etc! Best of all though is the views from the back of the house - the weather and activities in the harbour are always changing so we could sit and stare out the window for a long time! Lots of good places to eat in Newlyn too - only a short walk from the house. We would love to stay again!

As a family of 4 the property was ideal, it had all the amenities required for our 4 day stay. The property is stunning, so tastefully furnished and decorated, it is in a prime location with stunning sea views. Its location is great for strolling into Penzance and a short car journey to local sites, such as the Minack theatre, which is well worth a visit as well as St Ives. We were luckily enough to meet Lenn during our stay, he knows the area well and gave some great suggestions as well as being a great host, we found the property easily and followed Lenn’s instructions to a tee, we would recommend Lenn and Gord’s beautiful property, and was very sad to leave it to come home, a stunning find x

Lovely and clean place with everything you need. Really close to the town centre, harbour and long stay car park. The check out at 10am is a little bit tight, so be conscious of that. Definitely recommend, great place to stay. Thanks!

Superb value for money. The place was pristine, quiet and offered superb views of St Michael's Mount Bay with great access to all the local beaches and attractions. The parking situation was a little tricky, mainly due to having a big car and me being a bit crap at parallel parking, but Tom gave very clear instructions about this which helped a lot and by the end of the trip I had got some much needed practice in. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to visit a stunning part of Cornwall, my mother-in-law had a fabulous 60th Birthday and I enjoyed a lovely first Father's Day with my daughter, thank you very much for having us Tom and we hope to visit again soon!

Fabulous stay in a beautiful house. Had everything we needed. So central, could walk to Jubilee pool, harbour and al shops. Lovely to run on promenade and out to St Michaels Mount. Rooms were big and airy and bathroom was modern with a great shower. Loads of games for the kids and adults . Lovely big dining room table to socialise around. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful. Our Kiwi side of the family absolutely loved it too. Will definitely book again if back in Penzance. 😊

We absolutely loved our stay at Tom’s . Beautiful flat with a beautiful garden & views . Tom was helpful and informative & the cream tea was a welcome treat after a 4 hour drive . I Would return here every weekend if I could !! Thank you so much for everything ☺️

Nice location close to the train station, Scillonian and town. Lovely views out across the harbour. Very quiet and comfortable, the property was nicely decorated and well equipped. Very comfy bed!

We had such a fantastic time at this Air BnB. Mary is a wonderful host and so helpful and friendly during our stay. The location is fabulous, within walking distance to Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole (scenic walks too!) The place itself is beautifully decorated and clean not to forget the views are wonderful! We very much enjoyed our morning tea watching the boats across the water. The bed is super comfortable and all amenities are as described if not better. We will definitely be returning! What a gem of a place and the loveliest host!

We had a lovely 5 night stay here, and it was everything we needed. The apartment is beautiful, light, comfortable, well equipped, and has a wonderful view of Portreath Beach. Katherine was very helpful and responded very quickly to messages. We would stay again.

Jeremy and Rachel's places is a great place to stay. a beautiful area to relax. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations on places to visit and see

Lovely apartment in an excellent location. it was private and tranquil yet close to town. In one direction it was a walk to the bus & train station and in the other direction a stroll to Penlee Park, Morab Gardens and the Lido & promenade. Perfect! The kitchen was well equipped, the shower was fabulous and the bed was very comfortable.

We had a wonderful weeks stay for our honeymoon in this lovely and peaceful place that felt just like being at home. Cara was fantastic and really helpful and communicative - completely understanding and accommodating when we found out we’d be bringing our newborn along with us too! Location is beautiful and just as described with lots of lovely places to visit whilst staying. Just the perfect stay. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at Flat 1 and it is excellently located for exploring Marazion and Penzance on foot and the surrounding area by car or bus. The flat was clean, cosy and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and is really cleverly designed. We didn’t get to eat at the Mexico Inn but did have some drinks and they had an excellent Sauvignon Blanc! There were a couple of times that we couldn’t park outside so used the car park approx 200m away by the sea which was free between 4pm - 9am.

Had a great stay at Paul's place over the weekend, despite the mixed weather. The flat is warm and cosy with a really well-equipped kitchen, nice big TV for those evenings in, and everything we needed for the stay. Everything was super-clean and tidy, bedding was great and beds comfortable. The location is perfect in Penzance - really convenient for the railway station and everything in town including great restaurants and pubs are easily walkable. The location is on the sea-front road which runs towards the harbour, but there was little traffic and no noise at night time, and being on the front, the view across the bay is amazing. Paul was a great host, very responsive and even allowed us into the apartment early since we were already in town. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

My daughter and I stayed for a few days and the apartment was perfect. Great location, very close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Apartment was clean, tidy and looked exactly like the photos. View was beautiful! Has everything you would need. Paul was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. We had an amazing few days in St Ives and will definitely be staying at the apartment again in the future.

This was a fantastic place to stay. Perfect location, as it felt tucked away yet so close and walkable distance to everything we wanted. The flat was exactly as described, very clean and tidy. Jordan was a lovely host, keeping in contact in case we had any questions but also providing helpful tips and recommendations for what to do/where to go which was lovely as we’d never been to the area before. Seriously could not recommend this Airbnb enough. It was above and beyond what we could’ve wanted and just perfect.

fantastic place. Judy was really friendly and even gave us a lift to Porthleven so we didn't have to wait for a bus or a taxi. highly recommended

fantastic host very helpful and friendly, The apartment has everything you need for a great stay in a good location for exploring beautiful parts of Cornwall.

Mariners Watch was in a perfect location for our visit to the Minack and Porthcurno cove. Enjoyable visit to St Michaels Mount. Mel was easy to communicate with. Welcoming touches of wine and beer awaiting us. An american style fridge proved very useful as nearest supermarkets are 30 minutes drive in Penzance. There is a small shop/post office in St Buryan.

A lovely little flat which was very clean and well equipped. Eleanor was friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Very handy location near the Art school. I would not recommend to a nervous driver though. Difficult entry and exit.

Just back from a wonderful week at Sharon and Bill’s lovely apartment. A fabulous place to stay and the perfect place to come back to after a day exploring. Decorated and furnished to a high standard with everything you could need. The parking was full when we arrived but we were able to unload the car and then park in the long stay car park just across the road. (£14 for 24 hours). Once a space became available we were able to park and leave the car there for most of the week as the buses run regularly with a bus stop very close by. A very relaxing week and we definitely hope to visit again.
