Located less then a five-minute walk to the harbour Tittle Tattle is perfectly placed to enjoy a relaxing break away in the heart of Penzance. With panoramic sea views across Mounts Bay through a tall Gothic window, this charming split-level ground floor apartment is one of four converted from the original 19th century Bell Tower, standing to one side of the oldest street in the attractive seaside town of Penzance.

With a couple of nautical pubs steeped in history just a short stroll away, the town of Penzance has an extensive range of shops, restaurants & cafes to enjoy with a selection of beaches, Cornish villages and many other local attractions close by.

The nearby promenade in Penzance stretches along the shoreline from the busy harbour around to the fishing village of Newlyn providing a lovely 1.5 mile level walk and onwards to Mousehole, and there are daily ferry services nearby operating to the Isles of Scilly. Cornwall's celebrated art deco lido on Penzance's promenade is the perfect place for all ages to swim safely in fresh salt water.

Mounts Bay, St Michaels Mount and The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno all a short drive are a must on your visit to this part of Cornwall. You won't be short of things to do or see and have a great base to return to after an activity filled day out.

Holidays in Penzance aren’t all about singing pirates and sea shanties. This lovely, unspoilt town offers visitors a glimpse into Cornish life, mixing attractions, beautiful beaches and a thriving real-life fishing port.  

The town is probably best known for its proximity to the fairy-tale tidal island that is St Michael’s Mount. One of the UK’s most iconic seaside landmarks, it’s a ‘must-see’ day out on any Penzance holiday. Check the tide times to see when it’s safe to walk the narrow causeway, which is only accessible during low tide. Climb the rocky island pathway to the very top and explore the 12th-century fortress complete with a medieval church, castle, and gardens. Other notable attractions in and around Penzance include the amazing amphitheatre – the Minack Theatre, and Porthcurno Telegraph Museum. Nearby mines at Levant and Geevor make great days out, and Flambards theme park should definitely be on your list. 

Don your walking boots and discover hidden bays, beautiful vistas, flora and fauna. Walkers will love Penzance’s proximity to the Granite Coast Walk and South West Coast Path. Boasting one of the mildest climates in the country, this part of Cornwall sees long sunny days for walking and relaxing on the beach. Family holidays in Penzance are all about keeping everyone entertained, and with so many fantastic beaches close by, you’ll be spoilt for choice! With youngsters in tow, try the shallow shores of Long Rock Beach and mix it up with days at the gloriously sandy stretches of beach at Lamorna Cove, Praa Sands and Kenneggey. If time isn’t on your side but you fancy a quick dip without leaving the town centre, check out Jubilee Lido sitting in the rocks just south of the harbour. Reputed to be the largest in the UK, it’s an excellent example of art deco architecture and a popular spot for visitors and locals alike.

If you enjoy beautiful gardens, you’ll love a holiday in Penzance just to visit the subtropical and Mediterranean gardens in and around the town. These include Morrab, Trewidden and Trengwainton Gardens, and if you like sculptures and modern art, Tremenheere should be on your list.

Book a holiday in Penzance to try out some exciting water sports. Paddle boarding, sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving and canoeing are all popular with plenty of local providers. Get up close and personal to marine wildlife with boat tours from the harbour to see inquisitive seals and playful dolphins, basking sharks, puffins and if you’re lucky, a mighty whale. Back on dry land, your sea legs may fancy a walk, so head along the town’s promenade which dates from the 1840s for a stroll along the shoreline and views across the bay to St Michael’s Mount.

The town centre is focused around Chapel Street which is lined with wonderful galleries, treasure-filled independent shops and vintage finds. The town has some curiously fun and quirky historic pubs, adorned with figureheads, masts and remnants from shipwrecks. One even has an old smugglers’ tunnel leading to the harbour.

Visit the towns cafes, restaurants and pubs for good food, traditional Cornish music and lots of fun chatting to the locals. The pinnacle of Penzance’s events calendar is the ten-day midsummer Golowan Festival. It’s big, bright, noisy and very photogenic! Expect street performers, music, processions of colourful costumes and a full-on carnival atmosphere!

With so much to see and do, a holiday in Penzance credibly ticks all the boxes.

There is one designated car space in the adjoining parking area.

Visiting the geothermal pool is a wonderful experience and far warmer than imagined. It was worth the chill of changing and dressing. The environment is clean and well maintained in spite of its age, which only adds to the ambience, The warmth of the cafe is a pleasure after a swim and it offers high quality food and friendly service.

Amazing! Make sure you get the combo ticket for maximum enjoyment, but make sure you go into the cold pool first!

Amazing. The gardens in particular, which were breathtaking!

Long Rock Beach
(2 miles)

Mousehole is a delightful village. Beautiful scenery and walks, with some interesting shops and places to eat and drink. We ate very well at The Mousehole Deli and Kitchen on the seafront, which has an interesting menu, good coffee, and lovely staff. Bought great gifts at the weekly Craft Market too. Parking in Mousehole is quite limited!

November 2023


absolutely lovely fishing village, well worth a walk round, so relaxing having a walk around here !!

September 2023


We loved Mousehole! It has real character and we could walk there from our cottage. We swam there twice and the water was wonderful. We also enjoyed pasties, coffee and cake in the village. We would definitely go back there again.

September 2023


Beautiful, quaint Mousehole, one of our favourite places. Had a lovely stroll around the harbour and village and visited most of the gift shops. Sat for a while in the lovely harbour, so peaceful and quiet.

July 2023


This beach is not dog friendly at any time

Amazing beautiful harbour village , clean and friendly. Will visit again

August 2022


Great place to watch the world go by. Not brave enough to join the locals jumping from the harbour walls into the water but looked great fun at high tide.

March 2022


lovely little cove, but watch out for the Parking rules !!

September 2023


Walked to Lamorna Cove from Castallack - it was a very nice walk on a lovely and sunny Sunday morning. The cove was very quiet and peaceful, not many visitors around. We sat and enjoyed the view and had an ice-cream from the local cafe; the staff in the cafe were so friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

July 2023


Carbis Bay Beach
(7 miles)

Carbis Bay is a northeast facing beach that rarely has any surf, making it an ideal spot for families and toddlers to paddle and swim in the calmer waters. At around a mile long, the golden sands of Carbis Bay are surrounded by sub-tropical plants and turquoise waters which might just have you thinking you’re somewhere much further south! Dogs are banned on the beach between Easter and 30 September.

January 2024

We did enjoy our stay and thought the flat had great character. It’s in a good location and we could watch the storms over the sea and occasionally even saw some sunshine! We ate at the Admiral Benbow and Turk's Head. We visited the Penlee House gallery, Tate St Ives, St Michael's Mount, Mousehole and Botallack. Also did some coastal walks, although not as much as we had hoped due to the awful weather.


November 2023

We loved it! Location was superb and the view was perfect. We recommend The Dolphin Tavern and The Turk’s Head for lovely pub food - both within a few minutes walk.


October 2023

Thanks for the stay. A good base and with bus and train close to hand. We walked around Land's End, across the ancient Penwith Moors, visited St Ives and its Sloop Inn, Hayle with its golden sands.


October 2023

We enjoyed our stay in the heart of Penzance with a lovely view over Mount Bay.


September 2023

We had a lovely stay


September 2023

Perfect weather perfect location


September 2022

We always do.TT is welcoming, not all "chrome and glass" like many places. It suits us! The view over the harbour is wonderful and we love to hear Scillonian leave every day.


May 2022

Really enjoyed the stay in this very convenient cottage. The flowers, milk and cream tea on arrival were much appreciated. Ability to change heating times would have been useful.


August 2021

The property is ideal for 2 people. Very comfy. Fantastic view over to the harbour and sea with St Michael's Mount in the distance. It's in a nice part of the town. The Admiral Benbow pub became our local. A fascinating place filled with salvage items acquired by the previous owner who would deep sea dive shipwrecks from around 1983. The church a bit further down on the opposite side of road has a big graveyard area all overgrown and very old interesting headstones. Was ideal for a dog walk.


July 2021

The Tittle Tattle was central to mostly what we wanted. Beautiful quiet village with to entertain any age. The restaurants and cafes took time opening in a morning though. Sometimes cafes only opened Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. If you own a car Tittle Tattle has its own car park space which is well needed as so busy around Penzance. Plus is have own car can venture out to other Cornwall places.
