Penzance Guide

Penzance's cottages with hot tubs offer a brilliant base for exploring Cornwall's southwestern tip. The town sits on Mount's Bay with views across to St Michael's Mount, a tidal island topped by a medieval church and castle that's among TripAdvisor's top-rated attractions.

The area's mild climate means year-round appeal whether you're after a summer beach break or winter storm-watching from your hot tub. Penzance itself mixes Georgian and Victorian architecture with palm trees and sub-tropical plants that thrive in Cornwall's gentle weather.

Accommodation ranges from fishermen's cottages in the historic quarter to larger properties for groups in nearby villages like Mousehole and Marazion. Many feature private hot tubs where you can soak while watching boats in the harbour or stars in Cornwall's dark skies.

Literary fans might know Penzance was home to poet Sir Humphry Davy and features in Gilbert and Sullivan's famous opera. The town's pirate connections are real too - Barbary pirates raided Penzance in the 17th century, carrying off locals as slaves.

Sightseeing

Penzance sits at Britain's southwestern tip, making it perfect for exploring Cornwall's best bits while having your own hot tub to come back to. The town itself has lots worth seeing with its mix of Georgian, Regency and Victorian buildings.

Start at Chapel Street, Penzance's most historic road. The Egyptian House stands out with its unusual façade - one of only three such buildings in Britain. Nearby, the Admiral Benbow pub dates from the 17th century and features a smuggler on the roof!

St Michael's Mount (TripAdvisor 4.5/5) is the must-see attraction. This tidal island topped by a castle and medieval church is reached by causeway at low tide or boat when the sea's in. The National Trust manages the site (TR17 0HS) which opens 10:30am-5pm most days between March and October.

Minack Theatre (TripAdvisor 5/5) sits dramatically carved into cliffs at Porthcurno, just 9 miles from Penzance. This open-air theatre offers performances with the Atlantic as backdrop. Even without seeing a show, it's worth visiting for the views and story of how Rowena Cade built it largely by hand.

Pet Friendly

Dogs love Cornwall and Penzance makes a great base for pet-friendly holidays. Many cottages with hot tubs welcome dogs, but always check specific pet policies before booking as some limit numbers or sizes.

The coastal path offers miles of walking with your dog. The section from Penzance to Mousehole is fairly easy and rewards with stunning views. Most beaches have seasonal dog bans (typically Easter to September), but Long Rock beach allows dogs year-round on the eastern section.

When you're hungry, The Dolphin Tavern on Quay Street welcomes dogs in the bar area and serves good pub grub. The Cornish Barn on Chapel Street also allows dogs in their garden and bar area.

I recommend bringing towels specifically for your dog - the combination of sandy beaches and frequent rain means muddy paws! Local pet shop Paws & Claws on Market Jew Street (TR18 2HZ) stocks emergency supplies if needed.

Top 3 attractions you have to see in Penzance

Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (TR20 8YL) combines art with nature just outside Penzance. This 22-acre garden features permanent installations by famous artists like James Turrell and David Nash among exotic plants. The gardens slope toward Mount's Bay, offering amazing views. Open daily 10:30am-5:30pm March to October, weekends only in winter. The on-site restaurant uses vegetables grown in their kitchen garden. Visitors consistently praise how the sculptures complement rather than compete with the landscape.

Penlee House Gallery & Museum (TR18 4HE) showcases the Newlyn School artists who painted in the area from the 1880s onwards. These artists captured local fishing communities and landscapes in a distinctive style. The gallery sits in a Victorian house surrounded by a lovely park with subtropical plants. Open Monday-Saturday 10am-4:30pm. The café serves excellent homemade cakes that get rave reviews from visitors.

Jubilee Pool is Britain's largest surviving seawater lido, built in 1935. This Art Deco pool offers swimming with a view across Mount's Bay. What makes it special is the geothermal section heated to 35°C using deep geothermal energy - perfect if the weather turns! Open May-September, with the geothermal pool bookable in 1-hour slots. Located at TR18 4UU. Recent TripAdvisor reviews highlight the pool's unique atmosphere and how it feels like "swimming in the sea without the waves."

When is the best time to visit Penzance?

May to September offers the warmest weather and most reliable sunshine. However, April and October can be lovely with fewer crowds. Winter has its own appeal - storm watching from your hot tub can be spectacular and Cornwall's Christmas lights are famous.

Do I need a car in Penzance?

While not essential, a car helps. Penzance has direct trains from London and good local buses, but reaching remote beaches and attractions like the Minack Theatre is much easier with your own transport. Many cottages offer parking, which is a bonus in Cornwall's busy seasons.

Is Penzance good for families?

Yes! Kids love the beaches, St Michael's Mount feels like a real-life castle adventure and attractions like Paradise Park wildlife sanctuary (15 minutes away) offer wet-weather options. Many cottages with hot tubs are family-friendly with enclosed gardens.

What's the food like?

Outstanding. From fresh seafood at places like The Shore (Michelin-listed) to traditional Cornish pasties from Lavenders Deli. Don't miss Newlyn Fish Market for the morning catch if you're cooking in your cottage.

Can I see the Scilly Isles from Penzance?

Yes, on clear days you can spot them from higher points around Penzance. Day trips run from Penzance harbour between March and November, taking about 2.5 hours each way.

Is wild swimming possible near Penzance?

Absolutely. Battery Rocks near the harbour is a popular spot with locals. For safer swimming, try Jubilee Pool in summer or retreat to your cottage's hot tub when the sea looks too rough!
