4-star hotels in Penzance
Penzance is the westernmost town in Cornwall, a historic harbour town with a promenade, a working port and easy access to the coast and countryside of the far south-west. Visitors come for the sea air, the town's independent shops and galleries, and days out along the Cornish coast. These 4-star hotels suit couples, families and walkers who want a comfortable base with a bit more polish than a basic guesthouse. Late spring and early autumn are the most pleasant times to visit, with milder weather and fewer crowds than high summer.
