This Georgian mansion has been refurbished to a high standard and has been awarded a 3*ETC grading. Set in beautiful gardens, it’s only 15 minutes walk from the town and seafront, perfect for seaside holidays, activity breaks and school trips. Penzance is an excellent base for exploring the local area and it is the departure point for sailings to the Isles of Scilly. With a section of the 630-mile South West Coast Path accessible nearby, YHA Penzance is perfectly positioned to offer some sensationally scenic routes. Visit St Ives or Sennen Cove, great for watersports, sailing or surfing holidays, or just relax on some of Europe’s finest beaches. From enjoying a Cornish cream tea to watching the surfers at the beach, there's always something to do here. FREE WI-FI available in communal areas for guests!

Golowan week has officially started!!!

While the hostel is fully booked from 21st June - 25th June we do have availability from Friday 26th.

Friday 26th: Enjoy Mazey Eve Fireworks at the penzance harbour.

Saturday 27th: Lots of Mazey Day celebrations to be had as you will find something happening all over town, whether you fancy watching the parade through the main street or visiting the stalls there or even just enjoying some music in the local parks there is something for everyone.

Sunday 28th: A perfect way to end Golowan week with quay fair day, carrying on the celebrations with music on the quay side and in the local parks there will not be a place in town where people are not celebrating, stalls along the harbour front and of course the fair is in town so something fun for all the family.
