The Chocolate House

Thank you Classic Cottages for letting us stay in The Chocolate House in Penzance, we had a wonderful stay. It was perfectly situated for us to explore that part of Cornwall. The cottage itself was a gem, the Artist Cafe across the road was wonderful..we had a great breakfast there and fabulous g&t at the end of one of our days and the The Admiral Benbow pub was amazing too (but if you want Sunday lunch there go without breakfast and have an early sitting as they run out). Thankfully this cottage had car parking…it looked tricky to get spaces nearby. We may be back, loved it so much and will certainly recommend it to friends. ...

A great house, centrally located in Penzance with good restaurants and pubs close by. Attractively furnished with very good equipment and facilities.

The Chocolate House is very well-located, near to shops and pubs, walking distance from the train and bus stations and in a fairly quiet street. It is a very well-equipped property, nicely furnished and there were very comprehensive sets of instructions relating to the property, heating, equipment etc. A thoughtful selection of books and guidebooks, and we found the bus timetable particularly useful for getting around by bus since we did not have a car. If I were forced to pick out a downside, it would be the steep stairs up to the first floor, but there is a good handrail and it's fine if you go carefully!...

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chocolate House, and would happily stay again. Overall it was very well equipped, and we appreciated the second toilet and the additional room upstairs that was great for our bags and stuff. The location in Penzance cannot be bettered. A couple of things to be aware of. The parking space could be described as cosy. If you have the choice of a small or large car, take the small one. Also, the stairs are steep and narrow, so if you have mobility issues, maybe a different property might be better suited. These small issues excepted, highly recommended....

The Chocolate House was perfect-it was quaint but provided us with everything we needed being very well equipped. It was ideally located in the town giving easy access to the shops and bus station. Penzance provides everything we needed with 3 large supermarkets just up the road from the center of town. And If you like a pub then amazingly you have two near enough on your doorstep! We preferred the Turks Head over the Admiral Benbow. Food was good and staff very attentive. Surprisingly the street was very quiet even with the 2 pubs. The off street parking was a real bonus. We used Penzance as our base to walk parts of the South West coastal path - the network of buses to get you out and about was excellent. One of the highlights of our stay was walking out to St Michael's Mount on the causeway as the tide was receding....
