Peacefully located on the outskirts of Heamoor village, just north of Penzance, Boscrowan provides a secluded haven whilst offering easy access to Penzance’s excellent facilities. Heamoor itself is approximately one quarter of a mile from Boscrowan and has some useful amenities for guests including a very well stocked licensed Costcutter supermarket, a pub, a fish and chip shop. Further details of these facilities such as opening times etc. can be found inside our cottages. Our nearest bus stops are also in Heamoor.
Penzance, an ancient market town with fine Georgian and Regency architecture, hosts a good selection of interesting shops, restaurants and cafés. The town is also well served with major supermarkets. Set in the sheltered corner of St. Mount’s Bay the area is dominated by the historic St. Michael’s Mount and it offers one of the most temperate climates in the UK. The restored art deco Jubilee Pool (pictured, below) located between the promenade and harbour is the UK’s largest open air seawater lido and is a wonderful safe place to relax against a stunning backdrop.
