The Flower Box

The Flower Box is a converted former barn in Gulval for six guests, sleeping three bedrooms across two king size rooms and one twin. There are two bathrooms: the king-size master has its own en-suite shower room, and the family bathroom has a bath, a separate shower and a WC. All three bedrooms open off the living area.

Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a garden and a barbecue are included, and the driveway takes three cars. Up to two dogs can stay, and a tap on the driveway is there for rinsing muddy dogs or wetsuits. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owners before booking.

Eastern Green Beach is 300 metres away, a quiet, south-facing beach with shallow water and views across Mount's Bay. Long Rock Beach, which has direct views of St Michael's Mount and welcomes dogs all year at its Penzance end, is 0.9 miles from the barn, and Marazion Beach, with its tidal causeway to the Mount, is 2.1 miles away. Penzance seafront and its 1930s lido are within walking distance. St Michael's Mount, Sennen Cove, Land's End and the Minack Theatre are all named as wider day trips. Gulval itself sits on the hillside above Penzance.

**Best for:** A family wanting three bedrooms, laundry, dishwasher, garden, parking and room for two dogs close to Eastern Green Beach.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting verified step-free access.
