The Slipway

Ground-floor apartment on Abbey Street in central Penzance, sleeping three in one bedroom with one bathroom. The apartment is all on the ground floor, with a double bedroom and en-suite shower room, and an open-plan living area with a sofa bed. Off-street parking and a shared garden are included.

The town centre is on the doorstep: Jubilee Pool - the Art Deco seawater lido on the promenade, restored in 2016 - is a short walk. The Exchange gallery and Morrab Gardens are equally close. The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company ferry departs from the harbour, and Penzance railway station is the western terminus of the Great Western mainline. Newlyn's working fishing harbour is a 10-minute walk south along the coast road, with several fish shops and the Newlyn Art Gallery.

Eastern Green Beach is 0.9 miles from the apartment, a flat sandy beach good for swimming at high tide. Long Rock Beach is 1.6 miles east. Mousehole - pronounced "Mowzle" - is 2.4 miles south, a compact harbour village worth the short drive. Changeover is Saturday.

Best for guests who want a well-connected town base with Penzance's cafes, galleries, and rail connections close by. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Less suited to those primarily after a beach-facing setting - the nearest good sand is a 15-minute walk.
