Penarrow House (sleeps 10), Mylor Harbour, South Cornwall

Penarrow House holiday home occupies one of the finest waterside locations in South Cornwall, located just beyond the picturesque Mylor Harbour. This 5 bedroom home sleeps up to 10 people and offers outstanding views, making it the perfect base to escape. Being directly on the shoreline of the Fal Estuary favoured by the sailing community and enjoying spectacular views, nothing beats relaxing on the front terrace and watching passing boats.

Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasting direct access to the estuary known as Carrick Roads, Mylor Yacht Harbour is viewed by many as one of Cornwall’s finest marinas and perfect for watersports such as sailing and featured in our post the best places to SUP in Cornwall.
