“Had another lovely stay at the cottage one of my favourite places to be.”

Small points which need addressing, Shower head loose and falls down and twin room blind is damaged and needs replacing.

Lyn June 2024

“Fabulous property, amazing views, very central for trains and buses, we parked the car right outside the property and did not use it again until we left.”

A must do, trip on the open top bus around the coast. Also, if you can afford it (quite pricey) a helicopter trip to the Isle of Scilly, amazing views

- Lyn, June 2024

Thank you for all your positive comments.We are glad you enjoyed your holiday . Property Owner
Susan June 2024

“Only one thing to complain about and that was the toilet seat it was loose i tightened it but it came loose every day, very bad design, as my husband is disabled it did worry us a bit,and i ruined a new top on taking the bin out, but the rest of the cottage was lovely everything you could need, view was great we don't have a car but it was near bus stop and train station , and plenty of places to eat, as long as toilet seat is sorted we will be back next year still a lot more to see, and the weather was good.”

- Susan, June 2024

We have replaced the seat as you requested . We hope this did not disrupt your holiday too much . Property Owner
Catherine May 2024

“Lovely cottage with beautiful views , the furnishings were comfortable and of a high standard the kitchen was equipped with all the cooking items you needed for self catering .”

The location was ideal close enough to use public transport.

- Catherine, May 2024

Thank you for your positive comments. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner
Jessica May 2024

“We really enjoyed Jubilee Cottage and its superb location just opposite the seafront and Jubilee pool.”

We found it very comfortable for 4 adults. However, our only problem was that the WI-Fi connection was very slow and intermittent, which was frustrating at times. We were struggling with it so we contacted the property manager for help (via text) on two occasions but we never received a response - not very helpful at all. Despite this issue we would still recommend this property.

- Jessica, May 2024

There is a contact number on the noticeboard for the Wi-Fi supplier . Did you contact them ? What was there response ? We have never had issues with the Wi-Fi .before . We will contact them and report back . We hope this did not disrupte your enjoyment of the holiday too much . Property Owner
Mark October 2023

“Great location, fantastic view looking out to Jubilee pool and St Michael's mount.”

The upside down living in Jubilee Cottage is a bit different, hence having the great views from the lounge windows. We would stay again. Just a couple of things, these being that, as you do enter the property it does smell like wet dog, very musty smelling. this maybe because the downstairs windows don't get opened very often. Also, thank you for the milk in fridge, but the fridge wasn't on and the door open (with the tea towel still catching the defrosting water), so the milk was not cold. Last point, man working from home in the house behind chatting and looking down at us from his work station into the rear lounge window, maybe some blinds would help the feeling of not being watched. Thanks again for a great stay though.

- Mark, October 2023
Maureen September 2023

“We loved jubilee cottage.”

The views were fantastic and it’s in a perfect location, so convenient for the railway and bus station as well as everything else Penzance has to offer, which is a great deal. Very well equipped with everything you could possibly need we felt comfortable and could really relax. Our only minus point was the duvet on the bed which was a heavy winter one and far too hot in September and very musty smells in the drawers and wardrobes downstairs. However the shower was great and we would definitely return

- Maureen, September 2023
Stephen August 2023

“This was our second stay this year as we love the views and the location,my favourite holiday destination.”

We will be back next year. We did notice that the smell of damp was quite strong down stairs and left the wardrobe doors open due to the musty smell.

- Stephen, August 2023

Your comments will be thoroughly investigated . We hope this did not detract from you enjoying your holiday. Property Owner
Carolyn July 2023

“Jubilee Cottage in Penzance was great, really conveniently located for us to get the bus, mainly the Lands End Coaster, every day to go back to where we had left the South West Coast Path the day before and continue our walk, this time from St Ives to Penzance.”

Despite being at the junction of two roads and the seafront, the cottage was very quiet and peaceful and convenient for buying food everyday in the town centre. It was very clean and well equipped. For four people, the one bathroom might make leaving in the morning a bit slow but this didn't bother us. Our only comment is that we didn't see the noticeboard in the kitchen until we were packing up to leave (it is behind you and you don't turn round in the kitchen as it is quite small with no units on the rear wall). This was the only place that told us about the rubbish disposal. Outside, in the back passage, we found the wheelie bin was full and two other bags had been left on the ground, presumably by previous occupants. The noticeboard said not to take the bin through the house, but the passageway through the next door neighbour's house was blocked by her with three road traffic cones. I think the owners need to be aware of this problem. We also managed to recycle lots of stuff in the large red and white communal bins in the neighbouring streets. We discovered the Navy Inn just off the seafront towards Newlyn and loved it for its friendly atmosphere and good food. We also had a good meal at The Dolphin, which, unusually, has a fabulous page of vegetarian options. If you stay at Jubilee Cottage look out for the wonderful flags hanging from buildings in all the streets. What a great town!!

- Carolyn, July 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. We are aware of the problem with the neighbour which we are endeavouring to solve long term . We hope this did not distract from your enjoyment of your holiday. Property Owner
Mark July 2023

“Great little cottage but could have been cleaner.”

The bathroom was dusty and there was toothpaste splashes on the window, but other than that we really like the location, the process for booking, payment and key collection was straight forward and the parking was a bit of a lottery but we always found somewhere close to the cottage to park. Overall we would recommend Sykes and the cottage too.

- Mark, July 2023

We very rarely get negative comments on the cleanliness of the cottage. We will take your comments on board and do our best to react positively to them. We hope despite this issue you enjoyed your stay at Jubilee Cottage. Property Owner
Stephen June 2023

“Home from home,have always enjoyed our holidays at this cottage,love the location and views.”

Note the next door neighbour doesn't like the bin access via her back yard.

- Stephen, June 2023

Unfortunately she never has , however it is our right of way. We hope this did not affect your your holiday too much. Many thanks for your positive comments. Property Owner
Christine May 2023

“A lovely clean cottage with lovely views.”

Lots to see from window of life in Penzance .

- Christine, May 2023

Thank you for your positive comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay . Hopefully you may return . Property Owner
Pauline April 2023

“We found the cottage a very homely place with good views of the seafront and within walking distance of the shops.”

It was quiet even though we were near the road. We would definitely recommend it to our friends.

- Pauline, April 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback . We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Michael April 2023

“Excellent all round.”

Comfortable, spacious, well equipped, clean, good location. Stair-rail a little tricky, and a second key would have been nice. Otherwise, perfect!

- Michael, April 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback. Property Owner
Kathleen March 2023

“A lovely comfortable cottage perfectly situated just off Penzance promenade.”

Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and sofas. I have stayed here several times and it has suited my needs perfectly.

- Kathleen, March 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback. We hope you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Colin March 2023

“Very well equipped, maintained and clean cottage in a lovely location.”

No recycling facilities are provided however which was disappointing. A second key would have been appreciated so that one person did not have be locked in.

- Colin, March 2023

We have never been offered any recycling facilities by the council .We will look into it further. There are internal bolts on the front door which alleviate the need to lock one person in . Thank you for your positive comments. We hope you enjoyed your stay . Property Owner
Steven October 2022

“The property itself is in a perfect location.”

It is very spacious and very well equipped. However, on arrival we were greeted by a damp smell which turned out to be the main bedrooms bedding. It must been made whilst not dried properly. It was bad enough that we had to wash it before using the bed. On further inspection, the kitchen cupboards smelt fausty like ithey needed to be emptied and cleaned to freshen up. My partner suffers from dust allergies and suffered as a result of dust coming from the radiator fins which were clogged up with dust and cobwebs. On the whole if the property had a deep clean it would be beneficial and would improve the standard.

- Steven, October 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We take this seriously and have spoken to our housekeeper who will attend to these issues. Had this been brought to our attention during your stay, we would have been happy to help and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Property Owner
Julia October 2022

“Top of wardrobe and head board, skirting boards and stair rails, top of picture frames very dusty.”

Not good for people like my self that suffers from Asthma. Under sofa cushion was full of crumbs when I looked for tv remote. Deep cleaning should be done before every lease.

- Julia, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are disappointed to hear that you had some issues during your stay. Had you mentioned this at the time we would have arranged for this to be dealt with immediately. Property Owner
Mark August 2022

“Slightly unusual sleeping arrangements downstairs are more than outweighed by the comfort and views from the upstairs main room.”

- Mark, August 2022
Charlotte July 2022

“Better blinds in bedroom would be better as the present blinds let in loads of light and make it difficult to sleep.”

Needs decent blackout curtains. ( We stayed here a few years ago and pointed this out then) Otherwise it's a lovely comfortable cottage to stay in. Milk and biscuits were very welcome. Thanks

- Charlotte, July 2022
Paul July 2022

“Great cottage with amazing location.”

Would definitely stay there again. Pleased that milk and various supples were there. Much appreciated.

- Paul, July 2022
Michelle June 2022

“Fabulous cottage in a great location, couldn’t have been better!”

- Michelle, June 2022
Cathleen May 2022

“Well equipped and comfortable cottage in a lovely location with views of Mount's Bay and Jubilee Pool.”

Happy to find milk, biscuits and flowers on arrival, thanks.

- Cathleen, May 2022
Debbie April 2022

“Lovely 2nd stay in Jubilee Cottage.”

Perfectly situated for everything in Penzance. Parking a challenge but doable (the trick is to park after 5pm when the pool closes)

- Debbie, April 2022
Lois January 2022

“Lovely well equipped cottage with amazing views and close proximity to our favourite pubs, The Dock for Spingo Ale and good food, and The Dolphin for good food!”

We had a great weekend and will definitely be back! Thanks to all. Lois & John Cooper

- Lois, January 2022
Elizabeth January 2022

“Great location.”

Comfortable, well equipped upside down cottage with superb views of St Michael's Mount, the Jubilee Lido and not forgetting the sea and the prom. Very impressed with Linda who dealt with the warped back gate promptly. However, I was surprised that there were no facilities for recycling. The cottage has easy access to the town, train and bus stations. We found the buses very reliable. This enabled us to do point to point coastal walks. Our favourite walk was from Porthleven to Helston along the coastal path and river. We travelled by bus to the start and returned by bus from Helston. ( We did have a slight problem getting the oven to the correct temperature. We only used it once.) We really enjoyed our holiday at Jubilee Cottage. I felt that I had come home, as I was born in Penzance.

- Elizabeth, January 2022

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed both the cottage and its location. We have discussed the recycling issue with the owner who has advised that there aren't any recycling facilities in the area. With regards to the gas oven, we haven't received any reports from previous guests that there is a problem. However, the oven will be checked by a gas engineer, to make sure that it is working correctly. We are glad that you were able to enjoy the surrounding area during your stay and hope to maybe see you again in the not too distant future. Property Owner
Maria October 2021

“Jubilee Cottage far exceeded our expectations - the photos really don’t do this lovely home justice :) !”

The place was spotlessly clean, we were met with biscuits, fresh milk and flowers. It was a really cosy house, lovely and warm. The bed was really comfortable as was the upstairs seating area. It is perfectly located with stunning views. To be able to sit there each morning, feet up, watching the sun come up over St Michaels Mount, the wild water swimmers and the Scillonian and fishing boats coming and going was lovely. Couldn’t recommend Jubilee Cottage highly enough and we hope to be able to come back one day.

- Maria, October 2021
Moira September 2021

“We had a fantastic week in Penzance.”

The cottage was bright, spacious and well equipped in an excellent position on the seafront with incredible views out to St Michael’s Mount. Easy access to buses, ferry to Isles of Scilly and trains. A great base to explore southern Cornwall. Managed to park outside the cottage despite being the Tour of Britain weekend and then used public transport which I would advise anyway. We are thinking of booking next year as we didn’t manage to see all we wanted! Good excuse to return.

- Moira, September 2021

“Very comfortable house with lovely views,would recommend.”

Only negative is sometimes parking close to the property can be difficult.

- Stephen, April 2021
Duncan December 2020

“If anything the property is understated, it has been beautifully refurbished and the internal fittings and fixtures are top quality.”

The beds and linen were super comfortable and the whole place was spotless. The view across over the bay is lovely from the two large front windows and all facilities of the town are just minutes walk away. To sum up the let way exceeded even my optimistic hopes, it was superb.

- Duncan, December 2020
Amanda October 2020

“We had a great trip to Cornwall and our stay at Jubilee Cottage in Penzance was great.”

The cottage had a lovely view of the sea - you could see the Jubilee pool and St Michael's Mount. It was a great location to easily walk to shops and restaurants. Penzance was also a great location for exploring the rest of Cornwall. The was very comfortable for a small family and had everything we needed. Keep in mind that the bedrooms and bathroom are downstairs while the kitchen/living/dining are upstairs. Would definitely recommend!

- Amanda, October 2020
Sarah July 2020

“We had a great week.”

Jubilee cottage was perfect: great views, great location, great house. We loved the upstairs lounge. We could have done with more information about parking - it wasn’t always as easy as the description made it sound. Booking was straightforward and we felt we got good value for money. Thank you for a wonderful week.

- Sarah, July 2020
Lorraine September 2019

“Great Location: The Lounge/diner was big, bright and modern with the views promised.”

Milk in the fridge, tea bags in the jar and loo roll in the bathroom; all very much appreciated after a long train journey.

- Lorraine, September 2019
Michelle July 2019

“Perfect location.”

Fabulous views of the sea and st Michaels mount. Spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. Flowers on the table upon arrival was a lovely touch and milk in the fridge. Highly recommended Would love to stay again Thanks.

- Michelle, July 2019
Stephen June 2019

“Overall a very good base for an enjoyable Cornish holiday; however our first two night were spoilt by the bands and DJs playing loud music till one thirty in the morning in the carpark space directly outside the cottage.”

I would recommend people to research when the Golowan festival is scheduled next summer and try to avoid if possible, as the bands were put on as part of this major annual event in Penzance.

- Stephen, June 2019
Roger June 2019

“Over all very clean and well equipped cottage, couple of issues were the hob and oven are gas not electric as is advertised on the sykes website also there was a very tiny fridge which is not suitable for families.”

the cottage was in a good position for shops train/bus station etc. the cottage was very comfortable the views from the upstairs windows were incredible

- Roger, June 2019
Kay May 2019

“Spacious home, very comfortable and convenient.”

All clean all well prepared for our arrival. Thanks. Private note to host; some chopping boards one for meat and one for vegetables would be good. A vegetable peeler would be good too. Thanks.

- Kay, May 2019
Kathleen March 2019

“Lovely, comfortable cottage.”

Well equipped, warm and quiet, with lovely views out over Mounts Bay. Comfortable beds and chairs. Everything we were looking for and we will probably be back to stay again.

- Kathleen, March 2019

- Stephen, June 2018
Caroline June 2018

“The cottage was in a great location with stunning views across the sea.”

Furnished to a high standard and very comfy. There was everything you needed in the kitchen if you wanted to eat in and also many pubs and other eateries near by. Only thing I can moan about is that it needs a new iron and ironing board, everything else was fantastic. We had a wonderful time.

- Caroline, June 2018
Melanie May 2018

“Jubilee Cottage was a lovely place to stay in.”

It was clean and comfortable and was well equipped. The location was perfect with just a short walk into town and to various eating establishments. We would definitely stay here again.

- Melanie, May 2018
Hilary May 2018

“Great views, close to to pubs and amenities.”

Spotlessly clean, and, for those who self cater a lot....the knives are actually sharp!! The only downsides were parking, and (could be seen as a bonus) no WiFi. All in all a great stay, would definitely recommend!

The property

Directly on the promenade with superb far reaching sea views across to St Michael's Mount and Marazion, Jubilee Cottage is perfectly positioned in the lively, bustling town of Penzance to enjoy a diverse range of attractions and entertainment to suit all tastes.

The town is surrounded by an area of Celtic culture and outstanding natural beauty, with pristine beaches and crystal seas, majestic cliffs and rocky coves, all set against a heather and gorse landscape.

Instantly inviting, the renovation of this traditionally built granite stone cottage has reversed living accommodation creating a spacious first floor living-room from which to savour the panoramic vista across Mount's Bay.

Comfortably furnished with a deeply cushioned suite, plush carpeting and dining area, it is a room in which to relax in homely comfort.

A door leads through to an adjoining well equipped kitchen, fitted with pale green fronted units, whilst downstairs exposed granite stone walls add character and charm to the bedrooms.

Full central heating ensures that the cottage is snug and cosy for out of season retreats. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the sea front by the Jubilee Swimming Pool, or explore the harbour.

The seafaring heritage permeates through its winding streets lined with ancient inns, museums, galleries and curio shops.

A day trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat can be taken from the harbour and for those without transport there is a picturesque 20 minute train service to the harbour town of St Ives, the inspiration of many artists, writers and poets. Land's End is a 10 mile drive away and has something for everyone, whatever the weather.

With its stunning dramatic scenery and legendary views it can be enjoyed in sunshine and storms, where you may spy seals, dolphins and basking sharks in their natural environment.

Parking can usually be found nearby.

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.
