Why a cottage in Penzance?

The name Penzance derives from the Cornish, Pens Sans, meaning ‘holy headland’, as a chapel once stood on the harbour more than a millennium ago. A thriving port throughout the ages, the arrival of the railway transformed Penzance into a major holiday resort. Towards the end of the 19th century, it became home to Cornwall’s only promenade and later the Jubilee Pool, Britain’s largest outdoor lido.

Peering into the town you will find many wonderful granite buildings, particularly around the town’s two central parks. Running from the town centre down to the harbour is Chapel Street, the most historic street in Penzance. It is an eclectic mix of shops, houses and hotels most of which date back to the 18th century and before. After a day of exploring, take a stroll along the elegant esplanade, and then take your pick from one of Penzance’s many brilliant restaurants that serve both lovely food and stunning views.
