=== Penzance Holiday Cottages === Our Penzance holiday cottages are ideally situated for anyone looking to spend a weekend away on Cornwall’s west coast and experience Land’s End, one of the region’s most stunning natural landmarks. As the most westerly point of mainland Britain, Land’s End has become something of a milestone for tourists, day trippers and charity walkers alike. The 838 mile stretch from John o’ Groats in Scotland to Land’s End is seen as being the ultimate achievement in UK distance challenges. Penzance itself is an ancient market town on Mounts Bay, the area of water which separates St. Michael's Mount from the mainland. Nestled in an area of Celtic culture and outstanding natural beauty, our holiday cottages in Penzance are just a stone’s throw away from this awe inspiring stretch of coast. In the old Cornish language, Penzance is known as Pen Sans which means Holy Headland after a monastic order built a church on this land that over a thousand years ago. The town has a population of about 20,000 inhabitants, all of whom are extremely welcoming and friendly, especially the landlords of our holiday cottages. Penzance is just one of those beautiful places which seem to bring out the best in everybody. Not only is the landscape some of the best you’re likely to see on any holiday, it is simply teeming with hints of the region’s Celtic past, with ancient monuments such as the Merry Maidens and the ruins of Chysaster Ancient Village giving you an insight into what life was like here in the Bronze Age. So what more do you need to know? Time to start booking your holiday in one of our beautiful Penzance Holiday Cottages!
