A subtropical valley turned open-air gallery, Tremenheere pairs sky-high palms and jungle-like paths with large-scale installations by the likes of James Turrell and David Nash, plus the views stretch out over Mount’s Bay.

This 1930s Art Deco lido curves out into the sea, filling naturally with seawater and warmed (in one corner) by a geothermal spring. Come for early-morning laps or late-afternoon wallowing, with a backdrop of gulls and harbour walls.

Overlooking Penzance’s harbour, Chapel House pairs Georgian townhouse bones with breezy coastal style – think sea views, oak beds, and deep baths. Guests sip smoothies and butter up fresh bread at breakfast, or they book seats at weekend supper clubs in the kitchen (have to be quick on these events, they're popular). Between outings (and cold sea swims), there’s a sauna, hot tub, and rotating art shows – all wrapped in a laid-back, lived-in charm that makes it one of West Cornwall’s most quiet overnight stays.

A tiny, tucked-away cocktail bar open just Thursday to Saturday evenings, Four is all about expertly crafted strong drinks in a shoulder-to-shoulder setting. Claim a bar stool, order a classic like the Cobbler (whisky, orange and apricot liquor). Perfect for a late-night sip.
