Penrose Bunkhouse

Located right on the South West Coast Path at Chyvarloe in Cornwall, Penrose Bunkhouse is the ideal accommodation for families and groups with a keen sense of adventure.

Simple, but with all the basic facilities you’d expect from a holiday property, the bunkhouse is heated by a wood burning stove in the living room. But with spectacular sea views, you probably won’t be spending much time indoors. 

Enjoy a bracing cliff-top stomp along the coast path, or, for something a little quicker, jump on your bike and head out along one of the marked trails on the Penrose estate and around nearby Porthleven. 

With so much on your doorstep, including a beautiful beach at Gunwalloe, you needn’t stray too far. But magnificent West Cornwall has a lot to offer, not least the spectacular Lizard peninsula, mainland Britain’s most southerly point. 

Heating: Wood burning stove in the sitting/dining room. A basket of logs (typically lasting 3-4 fires) can be pre-ordered for £9.

Eco-electric radiators in the dormitories and wall mounted convector heater in twin bed room.

Bedding/linen: Guests are asked to bring their own linen, towels and bedding. There is a mattress protector/bottom sheet on each bed.

Parking: Parking is available for 5 cars to the rear of the bunkhouse, 10 metres from the entrance.

Garden: A yard to the front of the bunkhouse and a large natural garden to the rear of the bunkhouse with fine sea views. Bike storage is available in one of the outbuildings.

WiFi: We’re pleased to provide free WiFi access at this accommodation, which is supported by BT. Please note intermittent connection problems can sometimes occur and therefore should not be relied upon.

Hazards: Please note that swimming is prohibited for all age groups at the nearby Loe Bar Beach but is permitted at Gunwalloe Cove/Church Cove which is 1/2 mile away.
