Penkerris Bed and Breakfast Guesthouse near Perranporth Golf Club, Cornwall

Penkerris Bed and breakfast guest house in St Agnes

Penkerris is an enchanting creeper clad Edwardian residence with a lawned garden and ample parking situated right on the edge of this unspoiled Cornish village. There are shops and pubs just around the corner. It is a “Home from Home” offering real food. Meals are served in the beautiful dining room. There are comfortable bedrooms with all facilities (some en suite). The lounge is bright and cosy with a log fire in winter. The lawn is fine for badminton; there are swings for the children, picnic tables and a barbecue.

Dramatic cliff walks and three really beautiful beaches are only ten minutes walk away (1km). There are eight eating places between Penkerris and the beach. The surfing is excellent.  St Agnes is central for touring and is only 8 miles from Truro. There are frequent buses between Truro and St Agnes. Penkerris is very easy to find on the B 3277 road from the big roundabout at Chiverton on the A30. It is just by the village sign.

There are comfortable bedrooms with facilities (TV, clock radio, kettle, tea making facilities, shaver points, H&C) double, twin or triple – (some en suite) and an attractive little room with a kitchenette. There are two nice bathrooms and a big shower room.

Guests are welcome to use their bedrooms during the day to rest and make hot drinks. There is a bright cosy lounge with a large colour TV, video, DVD, a piano and a log fire in the winter. We have a licence but no actual bar but can of course supply wine to have with dinner, cans of beer to drink in the garden etc. We have a barbecue that guests may use in the garden and they can sit at the picnic tables. The lawn is fine for badminton and there are swings for the children.

Penkerris is within walking distance of three beaches. Trevaunance Cove is only 1 km away. It has the remains of the old harbour on one side and many delightful little pools and rock pools on the other. There are boats pulled up to the top of the beach and some of the locals go fishing. It is comfortably commercialised with one or two shops, a craft centre, a pub and a restaurant. It is a very safe beach and considered safe even at low tide. And it is good for surfing. You can hire boards at the beach. There are beach huts for hire. We, Penkerris, own a beach hut and we can let guests borrow it if required.

St Agnes is a good place to stay if you want to see all of Cornwall. It is only an hour from Lands End, St Michaels Mount, Tintagel and King Arthur’s Castle and the relatively new Eden Project. There are frequent buses to Truro – a bustling market town with good shops, a fine Cathedral, river walks and the Royal County Museum (housing a wonderful collection of minerals). Well worth a visit.
 

St Agnes is of course wonderful for surfing. But there are other good activities. There are two horse riding stables offering riding for beginners or cliff & country hacks for the more experienced. You can hire bicycles nearby and there are specific cycle tracks to be found. We offer a very unusual pastime – gliding. The gliding club is just between St Agnes and Perranporth and you can book lessons.

Perranporth is only 4 miles away and Truro only 8 miles.  Bus services are available to both, to Perranporth a few each day but to Truro a very regular service.
