“Lovely cottage.”

Well situated with everything in walking distance. Great to have the off street parking.

- Ursula, July 2024
Christine July 2024

“We felt so welcomed at the cottage, and it was a wonderful home base from which to explore Cornwall.”

I particularly liked the off-road parking, and although it is as tight as described, our Skoda Fabia fit just right. My son was very appreciative of the smart tv

Sue June 2024

“I've left a note on kitchen table advising that toilet water is running continuously and shower too fills up quickly but doesn't seem to empty quickly.”

Perhaps both issues are related. Otherwise no issues. Thanks.

- Sue, June 2024

Thank you for your note and feedback. We have now rectified the fault back at the beginning of June and all is ok. Glad no other issues. Thank you. Property Owner
Chris May 2024

“Everything you published about the property was 100% accurate even Dow to the restricted parking.”

If the property had not had its own parking/garage, it would have been horrendous, but once we had mastered the getting in and out of the rear access and getting in and out of the garage it was fine, even with an Audi Q7. On Street Parking was scarce and damaging to many cars due to the tight streets.

- Chris, May 2024

Thank you for your great feedback. It was a pleasure and hope you come and stay again soon. Clare and Paul Property Owner
Alyson April 2024

“We loved this little house and location.”

Although small it was so light and airy but also warm and inviting. The owners had provided everything we could possibly need and more for our weeks stay. We didn't use our car once we had parked up, the local buses and train took us to the many nearby other places and our feet to some wonderful pubs.

- Alyson, April 2024
Deana July 2023

“I rented this cottage based on the great reviews.”

Unfortunately, my stay was downgraded due to the lingering pet smell on the main level where the kitchen and living room are located. In spite of opening windows, it never resolved. A good mopping of the woods floors and having the carpet cleaned would probably help. Otherwise, everything worked well and was accurately described.

- Deana, July 2023

Thank you Deana for your feedback. We're sorry that you experienced an usual pet smell on the kitchen/living room floor level. I do actually clean the property myself and am surprised to have learnt of this, having moped the floor boards throughly. The carpet you mentioned is upstairs and will be upgraded over the next few months. Glad the rest of your stay was as described and we will ensure this does not occur again. Wishing you well. Clare and Paul. Property Owner
Louise May 2023

“Had an amazing time.”

The cottage was everything and more.. real attention to detail Would highly recommend and stay again

- Louise, May 2023

Thank you Louise for your lovely feedback. Hope to see you again. Clare and Paul Property Owner
Dalia May 2023

“Awesome property within easy reach of major attractions and must-see areas.”

The house itself was very well appointed with a clean, stylish finish and attention to detail. The hosts kindly left us a bottle of wine, chocolates and treats for our dogs. I can’t recommend this place enough. Parking was a little awkward but we were so grateful to have off street parking in such a central location. Strongly recommend and we would come back in a heartbeat.

- Dalia, May 2023

Thank you so much for the great feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Penzance and at Mason's Cottage. We look forward to welcoming you and your dogs again. Clare and Paul Property Owner
Sadie April 2023

“This was a lovely property and we had a great holiday here.”

The attention to detail was quite amazing, they even left some doggy treats for our pup which she thoroughly enjoyed. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our stay, the location was great too. Thank you so much. Sadie, Josh and Bounty the dog x

- Sadie, April 2023

Thank you so much Sadie for your great feedback. We like to make sure your stay is comfortable and has a home from home feel. All the best and please come again soon. Clare and Paul Property Owner
Lynda March 2023

“Had a really lovely week at the cottage, it was very warm cosy and welcoming, the garage being an added bonus, I would say it helps when leaving the garage if somebody guided the driver onto the road checking for oncoming traffic etc.”

We appreciated the cream tea and wine very much. Beds were very comfortable and in general there was everything you needed for a lovely stay. We just wished the weather would have been a bit kinder as we didn't get to do all the walks we wanted to . But maybe next year !! Jim and Lynda

- Lynda, March 2023

Thank you for your feedback and glad you liked the cottage. So sorry the weather wasn't great, so please come again as West Cornwall is a great place to come and visit. Many thanks, Clare and Paul. Property Owner
Claire October 2022

“We had such a lovely time at the cottage.”

It’s walking distance to town and lovely restaurants and the sea. The beds where so comfortable better than mine at home. The neighbor was lovely too. My cousin lives in Penzance so it was perfect for us as we come there a lot and we can’t always stay with her. So we will definitely be booking this cottage again if it’s available. It has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Thank you.

- Claire, October 2022

Hi Claire, many thanks for the great feedback and so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to the cottage at another time. All the best, Clare & Paul Property Owner
Julie September 2022

“Beautiful cottage with lovely decor and very comfortable and spotless.”

Appreciated the thoughtful welcoming wine and chocolates! Our stay was perfect for walking into marazion and visiting near by places. Very convenient location near to shops and transport Would highly recommend this cottage that had everything we needed.

- Julie, September 2022

Thank you so much for the great feedback and glad you had an enjoyable stay. Clare & Paul Property Owner
Sharon August 2022

“Great cottage, very clean and modern.”

Cofy beds and great shower. Had everything you needed. It was very local to city centre and great addition of the garage for secure parking. Alot of patience is need to enter garage as lane very narrow. Had to move neighbouring wheels bins to get in. Would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends. Great job owners.

- Sharon, August 2022

Thank you so much for your great feedback. Glad you liked our cottage and enjoyed your stay. Please do come back and stay. Many thanks again. Clare & Paul Property Owner
Catherine August 2022

“Very nice little house.”

Short ways to the bus and Supermarket. About 15 Minutes Walk to the seaside. Good place for trips around the coast. Facilities were good just the pan was in a bad situation and there a very few dishes.

- Catherine, August 2022

Many thanks for your feedback and apologies for the pan. We do provide dishes for the number of occupants plus a couple extra but will take onboard your comments. All the best and thanks for staying at Mason's Cottage. Property Owner
Justine August 2022

“The positives: great location and a lovely we’ll set out house with everything we could possibly need and very comfortable beds Our medium-sized car is longer than average and fitted in the garage.”

The only downsides were the low bedroom ceilings (I did bang my head) and occasional noise from the street (it was very hot so we had all the windows open).

- Justine, August 2022
Kirstie July 2022

“I’m sure everyone complains about the parking but i think better information on the size of lane and garage would benefit people.”

We came in a fiesta which isn’t large at all but still had problems. Driving in to the garage and reversing out did us best. This being said Its amazing to have a garage in a small area like this anyway. We love the garage it’s very helpful. The house is amazing, we had the best time and made lots of memories. It’s light and airy, beautifully decorated too. Comfy sofas for chill days are important which masons cottage provides and a well equipped kitchen for making dinners was so handy. Love it. Thanks for our stay.

- Kirstie, July 2022
Ann July 2022

“Excellent property.”

Getting into the garage with the car was a bit tight, thank goodness we have a small car.

- Ann, July 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay and many thanks for your feedback. Property Owner
Paul June 2022

“Excellent spot for exploring Cornwall.”

Free parking locally on the street. Had a great time. Facilities excellent.

- Paul, June 2022

Glad you had a great time and thank you so much for your feedback. Property Owner
Joanne May 2022

“We loved staying in Mason's Cottage.”

It's a beautifully presented, comfortable, well equipped and homely property which is really well located just a short walk from all Penzance's amenities, shops, eating places, train station, harbour, coastal walk etc. The owners were on hand to answer any queries we had throughout the stay, which was great. The parking is a major problem however and I feel that it should be pointed out that the garage which is part of the property cannot be accessed with a large car (Nissan XTrail). This meant that we had a daily drama trying to load and unload our beach equipment, paddleboards etc with the car sitting at the side of the cottage with hazard lights on, on the VERY narrow road, before having to drive around unsuccessfully trying to find a parking space where we wouldn't get a ticket, or wouldn't get our car scratched (several neighbours warned us of this). I wouldn't go so far as to say it ruined our holiday, but it would certainly stop us from going back to Mason's Cottage unfortunately, as that kind of daily stress is not what we want on holiday. This should not stop people with small cars from booking however, as everything else was absolutely perfect.

- Joanne, May 2022

Many thanks for your feedback and it was lovely having continuous communications before and during your stay. With reference to the parking and garage, in Penzance, an old Cornish Port with many narrow lanes. It is very rare to find a central town property with parking, let alone a garage which can accommodate most cars/bikes and watersports equipment combined. We do highlight in the description of the property and our personalised welcome emails, the access to the integral garage is narrow but being the owner of a VW Transporter van we always reverse down this lane to do drop off and pick up. If however people are unable to park in the garage, there is street parking close by which is free. Tickets would only be issued if parking on single or double yellow lines. We also did advise you of the parking situation before you came to Cornwall in various emails. I'm glad this didn't ruin your holiday and we welcome you back to Mason's Cottage at another time.

William May 2022

“Lovely house great base 3 minutes walk for food and shopping.”

Only criticism could not get motor into garage found alternative parking ,should be maid aware of this. Bill.

- William, May 2022

Many thanks for your feedback. Glad you loved the house and location as it is an ideal base for a holiday. Sorry to hear about the issues you had with access to the garage. It is explained at the bottom of the property summary the following: Note: Care to be taken on approach to parking due to narrow lane. We have seen large vehicles park in the garage including my own ie estate cars and range rovers. However will take onboard your comments and add further details. Property Owner
Eleanor April 2022

“Felt so homely and cosy only problems really were the hoover didn’t pick anything up so we couldn’t clean up when we’d been to the beach and the kids had run sand everywhere, also the shower head weren’t very clean however it wasn’t a huge deal and we still really loved our stay would 100% stay again.”

Perfect location for getting to places, just had a struggle getting our big car down the tiny alley way to the garage but still managed with a bit of patience and moving the bins. Very rude neighbour further down the street though

- Eleanor, April 2022

Many thanks for your positive feedback and glad you found Mason's Cottage so homely. I have made a note of the hoover and will now replace and apologies for the shower head. Once again thank you for staying and hope to see you again. Property Owner
Cherry April 2022

“Lovely cottage in a not so lovely area.”

Litter and rubbish everywhere. Parking was very difficult as it was too narrow to get near the garage. So had to park quite a way from the cottage. But we would still stay here again. It was furnished very well and we were very pleased with everything else.

- Cherry, April 2022

Many thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the cottage. Look forward to seeing you stay again. Property Owner
Julie February 2022

“Beautiful cottage very clean and lovely furniture and decor.”

Nice to have an outside space where you can sit. Close to all amenities and excellent location for coastal walks transport for visiting other beautiful places. We all had a lovely stay and would love to return to this cottage

- Julie, February 2022

Many thanks for your great feedback. Look forward to welcoming you again. Clare Property Owner

The property

Masons Cottage is a contemporary, terraced cottage resting in the heart of the coastal town of Penzance.

Set across three floors, with flexible sleeping arrangements and within easy reach of excellent amenities, the cottage makes an ideal base for a family holiday in Cornwall.

Off-road parking ensures an easy arrival, before entering the quaint blue door of this delightful cottage.

Clean, white walls and hard wooden floors grace the interior along with stylish furnishings throughout.

Immediately climb the stairs to find a bright and airy open-plan living space on the first floor, complete with dining for four people and a well-appointed kitchen area; rustle up hearty meals or beach picnics with the electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and ample storage space.

After a long day exploring the coast, sink into the leather sofas of the sitting area, with a rug for two well-behaved dogs to rest on, whilst you host a movie marathon on the Smart TV.

Follow the stairs down to the lower-ground-floor utility/garage to throw sandy clothes and towels straight into the handy washing machine.

Rinse off in the sleek, second-floor shower room whilst your towel toasts on the heated towel rail, before retiring to one of two well-presented bedrooms.

Catch your rest in the king-size room with a TV for lazy mornings under the covers, whilst the twin room is ideal for either two younger guests or a second couple thanks to the zip/link feature; both bedrooms offer ample storage space for your holiday essentials.

With the attractions of Penzance right on your doorstep, be sure to venture along the promenade for fish and chips, browse the exhibitions at the stunning, Victorian Penlee House Gallery & Museum, whilst plenty of shops and eateries ensure a comfortable self-catering holiday in Cornwall.

The local train station puts you within easy reach of nearby towns and villages throughout Cornwall!

Enjoy a day out in the neighbouring Marazion for a boat trip across to St Michael's Mount, an iconic island with a medieval castle and sub-tropical gardens to explore, whilst the town itself has family-friendly and dog-friendly sandy beaches to soak up the sun, play in the sand and paddle in the sea.

Further north lies St Ives, a renowned seaside resort famed for its Bohemian atmosphere; laze along the sandy beaches, wander through Tate St Ives or follow winding, cobbled streets to find plenty of interesting boutiques and cafés.

A walker's paradise, Cornwall offers plenty of trails taking guests along dramatic coastlines with tranquil bays and spectacular vistas from the likes of Clodgy Point and Gurnard's Head.

Journey further south to Sennen, a picturesque, coastal civil parish near to Penwith Heritage Coast, scattered with historic ruins and grassy clifftops.

Hike all the way to Land's End, visit the secluded Nanjizal Beach or discover Carn Euny Ancient Village, the ruins of a preserved, prehistoric village.

With so much to discover along Cornwall's coast, book your holiday at Masons Cottage for the perfect location.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
