Located in Penzance, Cornwall, this vacation home sleeps 8 people in 4 bedrooms and is perfect for families, friends, and couples. Due to the COVID crisis, bookings for 2020 are not being accepted, but reservations for 2021 are open. Built in 1875, Longnor is a spacious period property that has been sympathetically renovated while retaining its charm and character.

A large family bathroom with a freestanding bath and shower services these bedrooms. The top floor has a fourth bedroom with three single beds, an en-suite shower room, and sea glimpses over the bay.
Outside, there is a raised deck and a walled garden area for alfresco dining and a BBQ. Longnor is a family home that has been lovingly restored and is now open to visitors during the summer months. While the house is not equipped with modern amenities like a coffee machine or vegetable steamer, it offers a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with original features and local artwork. Due to the number of stairs in the property, it may be difficult for those with limited mobility to stay here.
In addition to its convenient location near the beach, Penzance offers cultural attractions such as Penlee House Gallery and Museum, as well as family-friendly activities like Trengwainton Garden and Sennen Surfing Centre.
