As possibly the UKs main summer destination, Cornwall has a lot of lovely hotels, but not so many in Penzance, Englands piratey spell-binding southernmost town.
Now, though, you have a rather nice new option: Chapel House PZ, which has just opened in a 1790 Georgian townhouse a few blocks from the harbor and beautiful Mounts Bay.
Its a small place with just six bedrooms, each with a super-subtle nautical feel – palettes of greens, blues and greys to fit in with the sea, which they all look out onto. All have handmade oak beds (to go with those beams!), smart TVs, iPads and bathrooms with your choice of giant tub or waterfall shower.
Theres art, too – the famous Newlyn School of Art is curating what will be a rotating exhibit of local art in the public areas – and free coffee and cake in the afternoons. What more could there be to love?
The rates, for starters – rooms are from a reasonable-for-the-UK £150 per night. See you down south?
