1 Bedroom Cabin in Chysauster, Penzance
Once belonging to Roland ‘Roly' Morrison, a famous local diver and Cornwall's ‘last buccaneer', this unique property is crammed with historic artefacts, some salvaged by Roly himself from various wrecks off the coast of Cornwall. Ship Ashore has perched in the same spot for more than 70 years and is one of the town's most iconic buildings. A stay here offers guests a truly immersive way to experience Penzance's fascinating history and special way of life, with extraordinary sea views over Mounts Bay to boot.
Once the decommissioned chassis of a 1940's Western National Bus, this one-of-a-kind sea-side home lies hidden behind a door at the end of Abbey Slip. Meandering up the path that leads to the cabin, you'll pass all sorts of interesting objects including boating memorabilia and an original 19th Century cannon which points towards Ross Bridge. Ship Ashore nestles into the most beautiful natural garden which is maintained by local gardeners who have a real understanding of the needs of seaside gardens, and have used plant varieties that thrive on this section of the Cornish coast. There are seating areas tucked into the gardens where you can take in the views over the bay, as well as pathways to wander along. A newly fitted contemporary shower room and cloakroom rest on the property's very own outdoor ‘poop deck', while inside the home has a galley kitchenette, living/dining area, bedroom and a second WC.
Wake up to views of the sun rising over St Michael's Mount and cold-water swimmers braving the icy water of the basin below. Peek through salvaged portholes and you might spot seals basking beyond, or head outside to climb the ‘flying bridge' and soak up the sunshine and scenes of ships heading into the dry dock. If you fancy a trip to the Isles of Scilly you can hop aboard the passenger ferry which docks right below your front door. It's a 3ish hour journey but makes for an incredible way to see this part of the Cornish coast as well witness its marine life up-close.
There are many wonderful restaurants and historic pubs nearby, but a must-visit is The Admiral Benbow in Chapel Street which was formerly owned by Roland Morris. Here you'll find many amazing artefacts which he himself restored, along with the help of local blacksmiths, tradesmen and friends. The pub became something of an extension to his museum which is found further along in Chapel Street and well worth a visit too.
Penzance burgeons with provenance (both seafaring and landlubber), with many wonderful landmark buildings like the Turks Head and Egyptian House to explore. Of course, not far away are the golden beaches of Mounts Bay, the fishing port of Newlyn, the unspoilt village of Mousehole, and the town of Marazion with its famous St Michael's Mount.
For guests looking to enjoy a car-free stay, Penzance train station is roughly 6 minutes' walk from the property. If you'd like to explore the area during your stay you'll be able to hop on board the Lands End Cruiser at the bus station (also just 6 minutes from your front door), and visit places like St Ives and Carbis Bay, Marazion, Sennen and Porthcurno. Ticket prices start at 2 pound per single. You'll find all the information and ways to book on the Adventures By Bus website
