Custodian's House, Pendennis Castle
The Custodian's House at Pendennis Castle in Penzance makes a cosy retreat for a couple or young family this Christmas.

The Charthouse, Falmouth
Sea views, a balcony and close proximity to the maritime museum, shops and pubs make the Charthouse in Falmouth a great Christmas getaway.
