A slice of eccentric charm
Artist Residence Cornwall is a boutique hotel in Penzance which brings a slice of eccentric charm to the dreamy lanes of the historic town. With 22 eclectically decorated bedrooms and a cosy 3-bedroom cottage, the revitalized Georgian pile is a unique seaside retreat perfectly situated for daily forays to the beaches, and the Isles of Scilly, a short stroll from the art deco lido and a sea view of the fairytale that is St Michael's Mount.
Downstairs, The Cornish Barn smokehouse serves up glorious feasts of locally sourced meat and fish with seasonal tasting plates, while the laid-back intimate bar and secret terrace garden are the perfect after-dinner hideaways.
