The Annex

The Annex is a charming single-storey holiday let tucked away in Penzance, Cornwall, offering a welcoming seaside escape designed with couples in mind. Styled as a studio-style hideaway, it provides a lovely base for those seeking a romantic retreat beside the coast, surrounded by some of Cornwall’s most captivating scenery.

Inside, the open-plan layout feels light and inviting, creating a relaxed setting for slow mornings and cosy evenings together. The sitting area is ideal for unwinding after days spent by the sea, while the dining area and well-equipped kitchen lend themselves to leisurely meals at home. A double bed sits within the living space, complemented by a stylish shower room featuring a walk-in shower and heated towel rail.

Outside, an enclosed courtyard with furniture forms a delightful sun-trap, perfect for enjoying breakfast in the sunshine as you plan the day ahead of you, an afternoon with a book, or a glass of wine as the evening draws in.

Penzance is celebrated for its lively cultural scene, hosting events such as Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and the Literary Festival, alongside galleries including The Exchange, Newlyn Art Gallery, and Penlee House Gallery. Set within the sweeping curve of Mount’s Bay, the area offers sandy beaches, rocky coves, and winding village streets stretching from Mousehole to Marazion. Nearby highlights include the iconic St Michael’s Mount, coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, Lamorna Cove, the dramatic Minack Theatre, and the rugged cliffs towards Gwennap Head. With its romantic feel, sun-filled courtyard, and exceptional coastal setting, The Annex makes a memorable retreat for two by the sea.
