Check-in is from 3pm, but you are very welcome to arrive early and leave your bags with us whilst you head out to explore or relax in our clubhouse.

Check-out is 11am, but if you would prefer a little more snoozing time just let us know on arrival and we can arrange a late check-out for £20 per hour.

We are well located for the London – Penzance sleeper train, as the hotel is situated approximately a ten minute walk from Penzance train station (though please note that the quickest route is a very steep cobbled hill.)

There are not always taxis at the station so if you’d like to book a taxi to the hotel please call us on +44(0)1736 365664 and we will arrange this for you.

We are also just a 10 minute walk from the harbour for the Scillonian boat to the Isles of Scilly, and can arrange for an early breakfast for you before your journey.

We do not have on site car parking, however, there is a council run car park situated less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. There is also limited unrestricted street parking around the hotel and seafront – although this can get very busy during the Summer peak season.

If you’d like to drop your bags at the hotel first we’d be happy to point you in the direction of parking, and will have your luggage ready for you in your room.

Our garden will also be open throughout the Summer until the end of September, with the Shack bar serving a street-food style menu alongside cocktails and frozen margaritas from 5pm Friday – Sunday. Whilst there is some cover in the garden we may need to close in bad weather.

Cornwall gets extremely busy during the Summer months and we would strongly advise pre-booking a table if you think you might like to eat with us. Unfortunately we’re not able to hold back tables for hotel guests without a booking. If you would like help booking a table please get in touch at penzance@artistresidence.co.uk

We welcome well-behaved dogs in the bar & restaurant, garden and in a selection of our bedrooms – you can see our dog friendly rooms here.

We can accommodate a maximum of one dog per room in the hotel, and up to two dogs in the Cottage.

Please note, there is a surcharge of £15 per dog, per night, to include Lily’s Kitchen organic dog treats, bed & bowls. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and cannot be left in rooms unattended.

The hotel is situated within an old Georgian town house over three floors. There are 3 separate staircases that do not connect and no lift. The main entrance is accessed via three steps. Two of our ground floor rooms have an additional separate entrance and access to Vandevour Lane at the side of the building.

Our Cottage also has its own private entrance from the ground floor, with the living/kitchen area and one bedroom all on the ground floor but with the bathroom located on the first floor.

Please note that this is an old building, and there are small steps and narrow corridors throughout.

The Cottage sleeps up to 6, the Mini Lookout sleeps up to 3, and the Chapel Suite & Lookout have sofas that can be made up as an extra bed for a child.

Cots are available in The Cottage, Lookout, Mini Lookout, Chapel Suite, Super Comfy Luxe and Comfy Double rooms.

We also have some interconnecting rooms – the Chapel Suite and Comfy Luxe rooms on the first floor, and the Comfy Double/Twin and Comfy Luxe rooms on the 2nd floor. To request interconnecting rooms please contact us at penzance@artistresidence.co.uk

A member of staff will be available 24 hours a day for any queries during your stay.

The building was built in the 1790’s and whilst we have done everything we can to soundproof the rooms, there may still a bit of noise from room to room.

Some of our bedrooms are located above our bar, and so if you are sensitive to noise please let us know and we will do our best to allocate you one of the top floor bedrooms.

Unfortunately we cannot accept responsibility for items left on our property upon departure however every care will be taken to ensure these are returned to you in a timely manner.

Please note, for recorded delivery or return of large items there may be a small charge.
