Great place but a note in the description to say access to the front door is via an uneven external stone staircase would possibly be helpful for anyone whose mobility wasn’t in tip top condition.. Also that once up the stairs and in the front door there are 2 steps into the kitchen, 2 further steps up from the kitchen into the bathroom and 2 steps down from the kitchen to the hall leading to lounge and bedrooms.

Lovely apartment, the cleanliness could have been improved and the bathroom was in need of redecorating.. It would have been nice to have been able either to wash our towels or had a change in towels as using the same towel for a week wasn’t ideal. There was no where in the apartment to dry clothes or beach towels so maybe that is something to be aware of? Also, we did want to put heating on but there was no controls within the apartment to do this so one night we were very cold.

We booked this apartment for a winter get away to see a friend. We loved the place ! It's quirky and very central for any where in Penzance. There are fabulous views across the harbour. The place was spotless and very welcoming. Every thing is here that his needed for a relaxing break. The heating was on and it was very warm. There were fresh flowers and some scones jam and cream ! The apartment is accessed by stone steps from outside. There are also 2 steps up to the bathroom and 2 down from kitchen to hallway. Could be an issue if someone in the party struggles with stairs. The kitchen is well equipped with a Lovely fan assisted oven. There is also a dishwasher. My family and I enjoyed this place very much. There is a beautiful garden at side of property that was perfect for the dogs. We didn't used the garden as it was winter.but would have used it if the weather was better.

A lovely comfortable apartment.. Well situated in Penzance, beautiful garden and great views towards St Michael's Mount. A washer/dryer would be a useful addition, otherwise very well equipped with everything needed for a holiday.

Excellent location, excellent comfort, excellent value for money

Mrs Somerville

Would recommend going to Cornwall out of season as it was so quiet and no queues or traffic jams.. Lovely cottage to come home to and big picture window to see the view. Very central but be aware there is only one parking space if both flats are occupied

Mount View is a gem.. We had a wonderful time in its relaxing comfort. Everything is top quality and it was one of the best equipped kitchens I've ever holidayed in. Beautiful crockery and cutlery. The furnishings and decoration were excellent, it was a real home from home. Even read a couple of books from the bookcase despite having brought my own holiday supply. The views were mesmerising, watching the sea and the buzz of Penzance. Comfy chairs and a massive sofa to stretch out on. Perfect base for the bottom end of Cornwall within easy reach of everywhere. We visited the Eden Project and Lands End to give you the range. A lovely, lovely holiday home. We'll be back.

Mr Love

The apartment is in an ideal situation .. ....in a quiet position but close to all that Penzance has to offer ....wonderful views with the added bonus of free parking .

Mr Marshall

October 2018

We have been to Mount View a number of times and always enjoyed a relaxing break.. It is a stylish, comfortable well equipped apartment with a great selection of books and artworks. There are wonderful views from all windows of the harbour and St Micheal's Mount we will definitely be returning.

April 2018

Once again a wonderful stay at a wonderful apartment .. ...home from home but with better views .

Mr Windsor

March 2018

This is a great holiday cottage with everything you need for a perfect stay.. Right on the on the harbour with fantastic views the owner even thoughtfully provides a pair of binoculars to enjoy the wonderful sea views. Only a short walk into town with plenty of cafes and shops and close enough to all the main attractions of Cornwall. With the added bonus of being a dog friendly cottage.

Mrs Hogan

Lovely property very well situated in Penzance, a few minutes walk from shops and restaurants, and with easy access to the bus and train stations for trips further afield.. Decor is tasteful, with the accent on relaxation and comfort, with an excellent supply of books too! The view across Mounts Bay is the real 'wow' factor here, it's lovely to just sit and watch the world go by from here. Contact with the owner is excellent and any issues are resolved promptly.

A perfect location with great views. Very central for exploring west Cornwall and beyond, would definitely recommend this property.

Mr Pigott

The location of the property in the centre of Penzance couldn't be better. The décor and furnishings were stunning.

Mrs Brewster

June 2016

Delightful apartment overlooking Penzance harbour with pubs and restaurants all a walk away. Great base for travelling around Cornwall's coast and also for the boat to the Scilly Isles. The beds were comfy and the place was spotless. We had a day of bad weather and spent the day relaxing in the apartment which was enjoyable. Off street parking just by the front door was a real plus as were the lovely shared Abbey gardens.

Mr May

A beautiful place with a lovely atmosphere and a timeless design.

Mr Baker

March 2016

On arrival on a very cold windy day it was lovely to find the apartment cosy and warm. The beds were plenty big enough and comfy. Off-street parking was very welcome as this can be a problem in places like Penzance. Overall this is an excellent let and although not in the main street it is very well positioned to get anywhere, and we look forward to visiting again at some time.

Mr Reeves

Mr Weston

December 2015

We particularly liked the location of Mount View and the views over the Harbour and St Michael's Mount. It was nice to have a private courtyard to park the car and a secluded garden for the dogs to run around.

Mrs Bassett

October 2015

Mount View is a home from home for us and our two dogs as we have stayed there many times in it's former life. All was as expected and improved by the new kitchen.

Ms Carter

Liked the comfort of the property, its lovely décor and furnishings, the view, the location and parking.

Ms Schrick

September 2015

The interior design and the colour scheme of the rooms, the pictures, the great variety of books in the living-room, the spectacular views across Mounts Bay and Penzance Harbour, the beautiful garden and the fact that I had a space for my car. The weekly bunch of flowers and the provisions in the fridge upon my arrival were very kind gestures of hospitality by the Cox family.

Mrs Rose

The apartment was cosy and well-equipped and all the necessary amenities were within walking distance. There was plenty to see and do in the local area, we particularly enjoyed the visit to The Minack Theatre.

We felt as if we'd found a treasure box in Penzance as we opened the door and found the jewel. Mount View has become the end of our rainbow!

First impressions were good, with convenient parking; second and third impressions..well, it just got better and better. It was very comfortable and homely, with lovely views of the harbour and across to St Michael's Mount, and in an excellent position - so convenient for a stroll into town. We had a wonderful week in Penzance; if (when) we return we would very much wish to stay here again.

Mrs Parsons

April 2015

The accommodation was lovely, it was one of the nicest holiday apartments we have stayed in. The owners were extremely welcoming to us and our dog! All in all we had a fantastic holiday and wouldn't hesitate to return. We would highly recommend the accommodation to family and friends.

The furnishing and decoration were both of a really high standard. The cottage was extremely comfortable, it was a very relaxing place. I really liked all the interesting books. The owner was really welcoming and helpful.

Mount View is truly excellent in every respect; quality, facilities, views and location.

A beautiful property with fantastic views, it was comfortable accommodation. In a good location in the centre of Penzance with close shopping, restaurants etc. In easy walking distance to the beach. The apartment has all the facilities you could need and the owners will find anything else you might want.
