Penzance, Cornwall, England
The Cornish Country Treehouse in Penzance was formerly the studio of master printer Hugh Stoneman, who worked with artists including Sir Terry Frost and Patrick Heron. The conversion retains original artwork on the walls, and floor to ceiling windows flood the space with light and views across the surrounding gardens and valley. A large living area with fully equipped kitchen sits downstairs, with the bedroom above.
The artistic provenance is what makes this treehouse unusual. Most treehouses trade on landscape or novelty; this one has a cultural backstory that adds depth to the stay. Penzance is a 10 minute walk, and some of Cornwall's best beaches are a short drive. Water comes from a private spring. At 381 reviews and a 4.95 rating, this is one of the highest volume treehouse listings in Cornwall, and it has maintained its quality over time.
We love the artistic heritage. Staying in a former printmaker's studio with original works by Terry Frost and Patrick Heron on the walls gives this treehouse a character no new build can replicate.
Many guests praised the secluded, quiet, and romantic location, close to amazing hikes and beaches. They highlighted Emma and Linda's exceptional responsiveness in resolving issues. Highly recommended.
