The West Country / Cornwall region

The stunning landscape of West Cornwall is truly magical and is a wonderful place to explore and unwind. There is something for everyone from the lively streets of Penzance, St.Ives and Marazion, the bustling fishing port of Newlyn to the quiet solitude of a windswept clifftop, stone age monuments, a stroll on one of many secluded beaches or through a wooded valley.Cornwall is one of the sunniest,mildest places in the country and has over 400 miles of stunning coastal and river estuary scenery,including 300 beaches to choose from.

For nature lovers it is a paradise with a wealth of bird and sea life,rare heathland,sub tropical plants and cornish hedgerows full of wildflowers.

It is a landscape steeped in heritage which can be seen all around you from the tin mines that dot the coast,which in 2006 achieved the titile of UNESCO world heritage site.The area is one of the richest in europe for archaeological remains.And the many musuems and galleries exhibiting arts and crafts by those inspired by our enthralling natural landscape. The national maritime museum is a great place of interest for those intersted in our maritime history.

There are many activities to partake in, for the more energetic there are numerous watersports, rockclimbing, cycling, horseriding, tennis and golf to more passive activities such as painting and cookery workshops, visiting a national trust property, the Tate gallery or enjoying a performance at the open air Minack theatre.The world famous Eden project and Lost Gardens Of Heligan make an unforgetable day out.
Penwith is renowned for its food, especially seafood. Penzance, St.Ives, Mousehole, and Marazion all offer exceptional resturants and cafes suiting all palates. A cornish pasty and cream tea is a must!

We hope your visit to West Cornwall is relaxing, inspiring and leaves you longing to return.

“So sweet” The Nook is a lovely place to stay. The location is perfect, a short walk from the main streets of Penzance. The cream tea on our arrival was so needed after a long journey, and the home made jam was... more

“Perfect for our holiday” 'The Nook' is a great place to hide away in Penzance, while being only a hop, skip and a jump from Market Jew Street -- one of the key Penzance hubs. The home itself is perfectly amenable,... more

“Lovely cosy home, perfect for our stay in the most beautiful part of the country” We had such a wonderful time on our Cornish break, I can't wait to return next summer (or hopefully sooner!) I've been visiting the area every year since I can remember so I knew The Nook would be the perfect location for us in Penzance after the long days on the beach. The Nook is centrally located with an easy walk to the shops, bars and restaurants so we had plenty of choice in the evenings for places to eat and drink which was great! The Nook is very well equipt with everything that you could possibly need, so even when the weather isn't so glorious there's plenty of DVDs, games and books to keep you amused! Thank you Rebekah for making us feel so welcome in your lovely home. Looking forward to returning :)

“Cosy and relaxed for a honeymoon getaway” Very comfy and homely place to stay, in the centre of Penzance but still quiet and peaceful, with a short walk to the seafront. Lovely owners who are very helpful and who made our wedding and honeymoon go very smoothly - guests will want for nothing, and there is even cream tea provided on arrival.

“Home from home in perfect location for visiting all of cornwall!” The Nook was like a home from home - it was cosy, warm and well equipped with tasteful decoration and comfortable furniture. It is perfectly located for visiting Penzance and the surrounding area - we visited Eden Project, Tintagel, Lands End and Lizard Point. We also walked along the Southwest Coast Path and other lovely walks as recommended by Rebekah and Joe. Communication regarding the booking was easy and the cream tea on arrival was a real treat! We highly recommend The Nook.
