What could be more romantic than waking up to sea views each morning? The Bowler Hat is the perfect couples retreat on the edge of Penzance combining traditional charm with contemporary design. Located in an 1860's house, this renovated apartment still retains exposed beams, stone walls and vaulted ceilings, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed ambience.

Decorated in a boutique style, the bedroom is a cosy haven where lazy mornings can be spent eating pastries in bed gazing out at the ocean in the distance. When the sun is shining, take a coffee out into the shared garden and plan your day and if you fancy a relaxing night in, the modern kitchen provides everything you need and more to whip up a romantic meal for two.

Take a hand-held stroll to Penzance's seafront with its charming harbour and esplanade, less than half a mile away, where you can savour a clotted cream ice cream or take a refreshing dip in the 1930's Lido. A minute's walk from the apartment brings you to Morrab Gardens, a sub-tropical oasis where all manner of exotic plants thrive, or if you fancy venturing further there are many more places of interest to visit including St. Michael's Mount (6 miles), Mousehole (3 miles) and Newlyn (1 mile) with their incredible fish restaurants. Sennen Cove, St Ives and the Minack Theatre all within 9 miles too.
