Chapel House PZ, Penzance, Cornwall - Explore & Book
"On one of Cornwall’s most charming streets is a Georgian house built by an Admiral who fought at Trafalgar, commanded a ship painted by Turner, and liked a sea view. One of the best is from the landing - but most of the guest rooms have them, views that sail to St Michael’s Bay and the Lizard beyond.From the moment you enter, you experience perfection. Susan Stuart’s minimalist transformation is a triumph of restoration but what makes the place so special is that it actually feels like home. You get homemade cake and a cuppa on arrival, you can hunker down by a fire whenever you fancy, or take a drink to the small walled garden. Nothing’s off limits; you come and go as you please, and there’s a boot room with coats, hats, flippers and wellies in case you’ve left yours behind (toothbrushes too!). Taxis are ordered, restaurants booked, kids’ games provided, dogs accommodated - and you can watch breakfast being cooked on the range, by Susan. (Don’t miss the sizzled cods’ roes.) She’s a fabulous cook - pre-dinner drinks are on the house for her Kitchen Suppers - and with a tinkling on the piano, these evenings can feel like a brilliant house party.
