Set in a row of charming town houses, Mackerel Skies is a lovingly restored holiday abode in Penzance, just a short stroll away from the fabulous beaches of far west Cornwall and within easy reach of the cosmopolitan metropolis of St Ives. Mackerel Skies is simply stunning, with beautiful original features and gorgeous furnishings this is the perfect place for a family holiday or a group of friends looking for a West Country getaway.
The striking exterior is surrounded by a verdant array of semi-tropical plants including an impressive palm tree. The grand front door is up a short flight of steps and once over the threshold you will be welcomed by contemporary furnishings and gorgeous restored original features. The sitting-room to the front is spacious and light, with high ceilings and a warming wood-burner, perfect for cooler months.

The kitchen/diner has a traditional farmhouse table where everyone can gather to chat about the day's adventures and the chef will love the kitchen which is well-equipped for your holiday needs. Climb the stairs to the first floor and pretty bedroom one awaits with luxury linens and a fabulous chaise lounge perfectly positioned in the bay window. Bedroom two also has a comfy double bed ensuring a great night's sleep. The swish family bathroom is also on the first floor with a large rainfall shower and a super free-standing bath, ideal for washing salty toes. Climb the stairs to the second floor and two further bedrooms await. Bedroom three is a double and bedroom four a single, both light and airy thanks to the Velux windows and with views over rooftops towards Penzance and the sea. Outside, enjoy listening to the gulls from the deck where you can sit from dawn until dusk with a view of St Michael's Mount in the distance. Make happy memories here with your family and friends at Mackerel Skies throughout the year.
