Location

The Chapel apartment is located in the heart of Penzance. There is a good selection of shops, galleries, restaurants, bars, and a cinema all within easy walking distance. Also nearby is Penzance harbour and waterfront which includes the Art Deco outdoor lido.



The exact location of the apartment is circled on the map below.

Penzance has become an increasingly popular holiday centre in recent years and now boasts some of the finest dining in Cornwall including the Abbey, Cornwall's first Michelin starred restaurant. And yet even in high season the town is still relaxed and lacks the frantic crowding of St. Ives.

Nearby you will find the busy fishing port of Newlyn where you can buy  an outstanding choice of fresh seafood and a little further along the coast (3 miles) is the picturesque harbour of Mousehole. On the other side of the bay lies the famous St. Michael's Mount

Penzance is also the gateway to the Lands End peninsula and a short drive brings a huge range of superb beaches, hidden coves and stunning coastal walks within reach. Easily accessible by car or public transport is the delightful but busy St.Ives and its Tate Modern Gallery, the renowned Minack Theatre, St Michael's Mount and the  and the hugely successful Eden Project.
