About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Penquite is a family home where I am nearly always around to be of help for as much or as little as guests require. Penquite is my passion and I love and enjoy looking after it as a business and a home. I am very hands on in the garden and decorating, I like to do changeovers and laundry myself so that my guests experience is as perfect as possible and their accommodation is sparkling clean!

I absolutely love living here, if you are only here for the shortest stay a walk to the expansive and stunning Porthkidney Beach just 10 mins stroll away is an absolute must! A short walk around the village takes you to pubs and bistros and the coastal train that stops in the village.. destination St Ives in just 10 minuets is incredible. You can pick up the coastal path and walk for miles or explore the abundant local Art culture including Tate St Ives and Newlyn Art Gallery. One of my favourite things to do is to visit the many subtropical and ancient gardens like those at St Michaels Mount an historic and ancient castle steeped in history!
