Ship Ashore is a few yards from the sea and was created in the image of a ship with boaty things such as port holes & a galley.
Being based upon a ship please bear in mind that some door frames are low and the beds are slightly more narrow than normal single beds (61cm).
The shower is located in an outside room and bathrobes have been provided if required
within the cabin there are many hidden gems to find such as a reversible glass rack which was 'borrowed' from a local boat when it came in for repairs. Throughout the area there are items of interest and the cannon in the garden came from a family in St Ives who had it in their family for 150 years
The cabin first appeared in the Abbey Basin area in the early 1960's and was placed in its current spot by a well known local diver called Roland Morris (Roland has a legendary local status for discovering wrecks and written many books on the subject).
The area has had a lot of interesting use and originally was the site of the local Blacksmith
We do hope now that you can have a relaxing stay at Ship Ashore and enjoy the closeness to the harbour and the history surrounding Abbey Basin
We live locally and have a great passion for the area.
We are proud to have restored the cabin to it's gorgeous condition which my great-grandfather originally created for Roland Morris.
We are fortunate to have had some amazing advice from local gardening professionals which will result in flowers and beautiful plants for most of the year
Being the closest property to the sea in the Penzance area Ship Ashore is lucky to have an unrivalled view.
The area is accessed by the main gate and once shut guests can enjoy their stay in their own space overlooking the harbour
