  A simply charming and beautifully presented Georgian residence which is located in one of the most sought after and historic residential areas of Penzance. Dating back to 1816, Parade House is an extremely spacious family home with reverse level living to take advantage of the lovely sea views from the expansive first floor lounge and bedrooms. The new owners of the property have been careful to retain as many of the original period features of the house as possible, including the high ceilings, a sweeping central staircase, wooden floorboards, ceiling roses, architraves and the original fireplaces with marble surrounds in almost every room. Furnished throughout with an ecletic mix of modern and period pieces and decorated in a warm and light palette complete the overall look to this delightful property.The house also benefits from a 26 foot open plan kitchen and dining area with central island which is tailor made for group cook-ins and party gatherings! Furthermore with its south facing position, it is ideal for that early morning coffee or breakfast in the small garden to the front of the property.A recent addition to the house is the conversion of a rear annexe into a large games room. Suitable for all ages to let off steam! The annexe is simply furnished with a sofa and chairs, large flat screen TV with free view channels, together with a multi-games unit incorporating table tennis, football and pool. Parade House is perfect as an all year round destination as it is positioned in the very centre of this bustling little seaside market town and regional hub. A two minute stroll will bring guests into the heart of Penzance with its plethora of shops, top quality restaurants, pubs and galleries. The town continues to grow in size and stature and now boasts one of the best gastronomic reputations in Cornwall and some of the finest fresh fish and seafood available in the country from nearby Newlyn port. Furthermore, Parade House is an ideal touring base from which to explore the spectacular scenery that this World Heritage designated peninsula has to offer. Air and sea links to the Isles of Scilly together with main line train connections to London are also a short distance from the property and Penlee Park, Penzance Tennis Club and the sub tropical Morrab Gardens are also but a short stroll. The popular beaches of Sennen Cove, Porthcurno, Marazion and St.Ives are easily accessible either by car or public transport. Parade House is a warm and inviting holiday home in a much sought after location. It is therefore ideal for two families who wish to holiday together or for a smaller family who require the additional space - but be warned! – It will not be a secret for too long so book now to avoid disappointment!

  Located in one of the world's most beautiful bays, Penzance enjoys its reputation for excellent restaurants and cafes and is reputed to have more restaurants and eating houses per capital then New York! It also has an enviable reputation as one of the friendliest towns in Cornwall with a warm welcome to visitors from all over the globe. What better way to holiday in one of Cornwall’s friendliest areas, than to rent your own cottage in Penzance?

  As the business centre of West Cornwall and the focus of commercial activity for the whole Lands End Peninsula, you would be right to expect a bustling, thriving town. Yet Penzance still manages to be true to its heritage and always maintains its olde worlde atmosphere, the town successfully retaining its charm while simultaneously keeping pace with the specific demands of the 21st century. You’ll love exploring the lively city on your Penzance holiday in Cornwall!

  Our Penzance holiday cottages are ideally located near the arts and culture of the city. One can find delightful oases of calm amongst the bustle, such as the impressive Penzance Museum and Art Gallery, which houses a substantial collection of paintings, notably from the Newlyn School of Artists and the Morrab Gardens, a delightful haven with a profusion of sub tropical flowers and palm trees they even have a flowering banana plant! The Exchange Gallery is a major contemporary art space, enabling audiences to see work on a scale never before accessible in the region. It shows an exciting and innovative programme featuring national and international works, alongside the best of those produced in the local area.

  The main thoroughfare is Market Jew Street, a busy shopping area that leads gently uphill to the handsome classical building of the Market House, behind which other shopping streets of Causewayhead and Alverton Street lead. Everywhere there is a truly charming mix of gorgeous Cornish cottages and superb examples of eclectic Regency and Georgian architecture. In addition to the profusion and diversity of shops, there is much to explore in the town. Discover the 14th century Turk's Head Inn, the Admiral Benbow Inn, containing in their words ' a vast array of seafaring antiques recovered from historic ships' - salvage from wrecks, from ships wheels to figure heads. Imagine spending a day visting the shops and sites of the city, then coming back to your relaxing cottage in Penzance. When you holiday with West Cornwall Cottage Holidays, the dream becomes reality.

  The word Penzance is a corruption of the old Cornish word Pensans which in the ancient Cornish language means 'Holy Headland', referring to the headland to the western side of the harbour on which a chapel was established by early Christians well over 1000 years ago. Today St Mary's Church is located on the same site. At the end of the headland is the famous sea-water swimming pool, an open air Art Deco masterpiece, opened in 1935 and which today is the only one in existence in the UK.

  The stunning harbour was primarily responsible for the establishing of the town, as it is the first sheltered harbour that is reached from the Atlantic. Indeed, news of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar in 1805 was brought by returning fishermen and announced at the Union Hotel in Chapel Street before it had even reached London. Further out of town, the coastal walk from Penzance to St Ives and the Tinner's Way provides breathtaking views with romantic granite scenery, historical engine houses and high moorland. With its reed beds, woodland, mudflats, reservoirs, sheltered coastal bays and open moorland, birdwatching in Penzance attracts ornithologists from all over the world. Penzance has something for everyone, and our Penzance holiday cottages are no different. With so many properties to choose from, you’ll be sure to find a property you love.

  Penzance's climate is one of the most temperate anywhere in the British Isles and its location ensures that spring comes earlier than anywhere else in the country which is of course a major contribution to the profusion of beautiful flora and fauna. An Easter break in Penzance is the perfect time of year to visit!

  From Penzance, frequent public bus services travel to all major points of interest in the area including Land's End, Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre, Mousehole, Marazion and St Michael's Mount, while there are both bus and train services to St Ives. Penzance also has excellent transport links to the famous sub-tropical Isles of Scilly, which lie 28 miles to the west of Land's End. Visitors can choose a leisurely 2 hour cruise aboard the Scillonian III, or a fast 20 minute flight on the regular helicopter and plane services.

  Come holiday in Penzance, and experience all this great city has to offer
