Snaptrip says

Guests appreciate the Bell Tower's prime location in Penzance, with its proximity to shops, pubs, and the harbour. The property offers stunning views and convenient parking.

The apartment's cleanliness and comfort were praised, though there were some concerns about facilities.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The property was described as spotless by one reviewer, indicating a high level of cleanliness. No other negative comments about cleanliness suggest it is generally well-maintained.

The central location near shops, pubs, and the harbour, along with the parking availability, was highly valued by guests, making it an ideal spot for exploring Penzance.

Guests found the beds comfortable and appreciated the views from the sitting area. However, some reported disturbances from a noisy boiler and issues with TV placement affecting their comfort.

While the property is equipped with necessary appliances, several guests reported maintenance issues with the boiler, dishwasher, and oven. The response to these issues was prompt, but they did impact the overall experience.

A mention of a lovely cream tea in the fridge suggests a thoughtful touch. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this should be considered a pleasant surprise rather than an expectation.
