Location
Arriving by Public Transport
The bus/coach and railway stations are sited next to each other, along
with Penzance's Tourist Information Centre (TIC) and Penzance is the
end of the line so there is no danger of missing your stop! To walk from
the station to the Camilla House (15mins):
From the TIC, cross over entrance lane to bus station and continue until
2nd pedestrian crossing opposite the entrance to the Wharf Side Shopping
Centre. Cross the road and walk through the harbour area, past
the dry dock (The Quay), Boatshed restaurant and Dolphin Tavern (which
is on a corner) until you see the Jubilee Pool on the left and the Yacht
Inn set back on your right. You are now on Penzance Promenade – take
the small right hand turn beyond the ‘Stanley’ into Regent
Terrace, the Camilla House is located in the middle.
Alternatively you can hire a taxi from the railway station (taxi rank
is outside station entrance) that will take 2-3 minutes.
By Road
From the east - take the A30 to the outskirts of Penzance – at
Chy-An-Mor roundabout take the 2nd exit (still the A30) passing the Heliport
on your right. At the Branwell Lane roundabout stay in left hand filter
lane (B3311) and follow signs to Town Centre, The Scillonian Ferry and
Newlyn.
Pass the railway station entrance and take the left hand lane to pass
the Wharf Side shopping centre, go along Wharf road by the harbour, past
the dry dock (the Quay) & Boatshed restaurant then the Dolphin Tavern
(all on your right) until you come to a pedestrian crossing outside the
Jubilee swimming pool – two junctions are just ahead on your right
(the first is wide and leads to the Yacht Inn).
Take the second turn (small junction) on the right into Regent Terrace
(top tip – this is where many guests keep going along the Promenade
and miss the turning into Regent Terrace – the distance from the
first junction to the second is only a few metres. The Camilla House
is a white building located in the middle of the Terrace - please use
the brick-paved car park in front of the hotel (parking for five cars).
