Yet another lovely 2 weeks stay at this beautiful Cottage with an amazing history behind it. We wdrd due to come in 2020, but postponed because of Covid 19. By the time wd got to come wd had both had our 2 Covud Jabs. We were pleased to be back in this Cottage with the beautiful views across the harbour. Hubby enjoyed his walks around the area to Paul, Mousehole and Newlyn, wherd he brought back a dressed crab for me to enjoy.Then another walk to Marazan on another day. We plan to come back to this Cottage next year, as hubby

We have stayed at the Rum Store twice now and have loved it. It is a perfect base to explore Penzance, a short walk to the shops or harbour area and promenade. It is clean, comfortable and well-maintained. We will will definitely be booking again on our next trip over from Australia.

I better described as Das Bunker.
25 lights in lounge is the only way it seems light, the main bedroom overlooking a working industrial yard. Starting at 8am with the diesel forklift.
Paying a 1000 for a week shows how people are being ripped off in Penzance. It's only worth a star as its large but is it worth the money? No Way. Parking is a joke better walking.
