Lavazza eco compostable coffee pods are provided along with tea and milk - please specify milk required. Smoke detector and fire extinguisher. Usb and shaver sockets. PLEASE NOTE : This is a small space and ideal for short stays for guests with light luggage and planning to be out & about during the day - it is not suitable for people wishing to use it as an office space as there is no desk. It is also not suitable for people with health conditions or impairments. We are in the centre of bustling Penzance so although well insulated The Studio is town accommodation rather than a quiet rural experience - some noise is to be expected. The garden is for guest use but is NOT self contained or fenced off & is overlooked from the main house. Joined to one side of The Studio is a paved yard & separate access gate used by the main house. For details on the main house see our listing for The Artist's House, Penzance.

We are are artists/ makers and have lived in Penzance for the last 20 years creating this space for family and visitors to comfortably stay for a few nights. Catherine is a landscape painter and also runs a mosaic workshop with her husband Valentine.

Penzance is set in the beautiful Mounts Bay on the south coast of far west Cornwall and its mild climate provides an abundance of sub-tropical plants and palm trees. It is a lively and friendly harbour town with some of the uk's best and cleanest beaches nearby or a short drive away. We are a five minute walk to the centre of town and the train/bus station. Parking can be a little tight in Penzance but spaces can usually be found in our street or nearby. There is also a long stay car park close to the house. It can be noisy sometimes as we are close to central town and next to a road.
