Accommodation in Penzance
Although Penzance hasn’t got many hotels there are plenty of quality bed and breakfasts and luxury inns. I tried chapel house which is a historic town house hotel with a Georgian style and 6 bedrooms and private suites. White walls and lovely décor – also have a look at blue seas guest house
Where to eat in Penzance
Most bed and breakfasts might include an evening meal, but I would highly recommend clubhouse Cornwall hearty dishes and of course sea food and steaks or perhaps a traditional Cornish pasty along the way
What to do in Penzance
No visit on your Penzance holiday would be complete would be complete without a visit to St Michaels mount – it’s a 3 mile walk from Penzance. If the tide is low you can walk across the path. in high tide take boat.
If sculpture is your thing then I would go to tremenheere sculpture gardens.
