Artist Residence Cornwall

Penzance, Cornwall

Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms.

A revitalised Georgian inn on Chapel Street in Penzance, where dogs get a comfy bed, bowls and snacks and join you in the bar and lounge.

A revitalised Georgian inn with a slice of eccentric charm, Artist Residence Cornwall sits on Chapel Street in the seaside town of Penzance, moments from the seafront, the harbour and the town centre. This dog friendly hotel keeps you and your dog close to all of it.

Most of the room types take dogs, and each dog arrives to a comfy dog bed, bowls and a few snacks to help them settle in. The hotel kindly asks that dogs aren't left unattended in the bedrooms. Rooms vary in size and layout, as befits a historic house, and The Snug and one of the Comfy Double rooms are on the ground floor, so ask whether they take dogs. Check numbers of dogs per room when you book, as the hotel doesn't say.

The Cornish Barn is the all day neighbourhood bistro, bar and lounge, and the bar and the lounge are open to dogs, as are parts of the dining area. Menus run to hearty, wholesome dishes made with locally sourced produce, with Cornish beers, local ciders and easygoing cocktails alongside, and breakfast brings great coffee and freshly cooked favourites.

Back in the room there's a pod coffee machine, a Roberts radio, a minibar of local and artisan snacks and Bramley bath products. For a day out with the dog, Wildpack's Mousehole to Lamorna Cove Circular is 2.3 miles from the hotel, and Porthkidney Beach, the nearest dog friendly beach Wildpack has mapped, is 6.5 miles off.
