Whirlygig Cottage is a charming little fisherman's home barely two minutes' walk from the train station, the bus station, the harbour, two pubs, and the main shopping street of Penzance.It is lovingly furnished, equipped with all the amenities and taken excellent care of by the owners. Cleanliness was impeccable, the bed is super comfy, the bathroom is a real gem, together with the kitchen.We had a lovely time here and cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We had a lovely stay. The cottage was clean and modern and sweetly decorated. The host was very helpful. Very close to the train and bus stations, perfect for day trips.Tea fixings and biscuits were a very welcome welcome after a long day of travel. Thank you for a great stay.
