Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Avallon clean and welcoming, though a few noted issues with cleanliness in specific areas such as the upstairs bathroom. The presence of both positive and negative comments leads to a score above average.
The location is frequently praised for its tranquility and convenience for exploring Cornwall. The ample outdoor space is a highlight for dog owners. The positive feedback on location is overwhelming, resulting in a high score.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the grounds relaxing. However, some have mentioned that the furniture, particularly the settees, could be more comfortable. The mixed feedback suggests a good but improvable level of comfort.
The property is generally well-equipped, but several reviews point out the need for maintenance and updates on items like crockery and mattresses. The prompt response to issues by the owner mitigates some concerns, leading to a score above average.

About this property
Penzance 2 miles. Perfectly located for touring the far west of Cornwall and its outstanding beaches, this spacious, detached house is set in more than seven acres of its own land, just outside Penzance on the road to Land's End. As you go down the private drive that sweeps down to Avallon House, you get a sense of the privacy and seclusion that this holiday home offers. With ample space for parking around the house, pull up alongside the conservatory and enter this lovely spacious room overlooking the front gardens, the perfect spot to relax whilst watching the children play outside. From the conservatory, step into the comfortable sitting room and then straight ahead into the well-equipped kitchen, which leads to the bright and airy dining room. From the sitting room, the staircase takes you upstairs to the three bedrooms, all overlooking the lawned gardens and surrounding fields, as well as the family bathroom. Outside, fields surround the property, so the children and dog-walkers will be spoilt for choice on where to explore. There is also a shed that is helpful for the storage of bikes and walking equipment. Only two miles away from Avallon is Penzance, a coastal town steeped in history with numerous cafés, restaurants and bars, as well as all the major supermarkets and individual shops. You are also only a short drive from the dramatic beaches and fishing villages that this area of Cornwall is so famous for. With so much to do and so many places to see, with a lovely quiet home to return to at the end of the day, Avallon is the perfect place for a Cornish holiday, at any time of year.
The seaside harbour town of Penzance is situated in one of Cornwalls most popular holiday areas. The town offers the National Trust owned St Michaels Mount, as well as winding streets, shops, clubs and restaurants, and there are a wealth of sandy beaches very close by. The South West coast path passes through Penzance and winds its way along the cliff tops towards Lands End, plus the open air Minack Theatre and Gwennap Head are close by.

It never disappoints, on arrival the house is always warm, clean and cosy, daffodils, cream, scones and jam to greet us, such a lovely touch. The house is so ideally situated to visit so many places, shops nearby, beaches and inland walks. The huge garden and fields are perfect and doggie friendly. The house has everything you could possibly want for a perfect holiday.

We absolutely love it there. The garden, while slightly wild is such a lovely space for the dogs to run around in, with a secure section for them to do their business at night. The house is small and cosy with everything you could need. The house is so conveniently located with supermarkets and the beaches only a short drive away. We've booked already for next year!
