LocationThe busy west Cornwall town of Penryn is a centre for sailing and home to several boatyards. The most recent development is the Tremough Campus – part of both the University of Exeter and University College Falmouth. Much of the old granite town has been restored in recent years and Penryn has its share of shops and galleries. There are several restaurants, cafés and pubs in the town and many more in nearby Falmouth. Truro and Helston are also nearby, making Penryn a convenient centre from which to visit much of west and mid Cornwall. The area also offers a wide variety of self catering accommodation, and there are several sandy beaches within walking distance.

In addition, there are two stockrooms, a side storeroom, staff kitchen and staff toilet.
External DetailsTo the rear of the property is two parking spaces leased from the neighbouring property for the use of the accommodation.
