Art gallery at the top of the nicest and oldest street in town - Chapel Street. Lovely gallery space, a bit of a tardis as it reaches backwards and upwards over three floors. We turned up with walking boots and a muddy dog only to be welcomed in with open arms (the owners dog sits under her desk). A great variety of work inside by established well known artists as well as some younger recent graduates. A great stop off for anyone interested in art

This is a wondrous, fun place to stay, filled with paintings floor to ceiling, old and new, fabulous and not quite so, most by local artists.

Each room is different. Ours was huge with a view over the rooftops of the town to the sea.

There's also a lovely walled garden and an excellent restaurant. The town itself is fun to walk around and St Michael's Mount is nearby.

A helicopter will take you to the island of Tresco for a look at the famous Abbey Garden and a good day out.

There are wonderful artists in Penzance too. We bought a painting by American artist, Kathy Todd, who now lives in Penzance. After our time there we drove further along the coast to St. Ives, another magical spot.

Seven simple, elegant rooms with sea views in an 18th-century house which was once a Portuguese embassy. Lots of arty stuff going on downstairs in the arts club, like jazz nights and life-drawing classes. The Frog Fish cafe in the basement serves good local seafood and organic meat.

Accommodation starting at £35pp with the full English and is a great deal.
