  • Parking on Carminowe Crescent, Penzance, TR18

    Great parking spot in a lovely cul de sac. Felt safe and secure parking here. Ten minute walk to our accommodation in the harbour. The owners were lovely people too. Said hello and had a chat when we met. Would definitely recommend and would use again if returning to Penzance.

  • Parking on Reens Crescent, TR18

    Really easy to find the space and to park on the secure driveway outside the front of the house. Space is on a housing estate in front of a bungalow. The owner was friendly and helpful upon arrival and return, and I felt safe and happy leaving my car here, meaning I could relax on my holiday. Upon return, my car was as I left it. Would definitely recommend this space. Thank you!

    Used the parking space for a Monday to Friday stay - felt secure leaving the car at the parking space. Wide driveway and easy to find place. We stayed on Chapel Street, and it took us less than 10 minutes to walk. Well placed for the town and harbour.
