Our hosts were amazingly kind and went above and beyond to help me when I lost the key to my bike, dropping me at the train station and promising to get the lock off and ship my bike to me. It blows me away how generous and helpful both Lynda and Steve were when I was panicking about how to get home. Truly wonderful people. And on top of that they run a first rate bed and breakfast. I can't recommend staying with them enough!

Ideal location for catching the ferry to Scilly, tree lined wide road with on road parking. Close to all amenities. Penzance has lots of shortcut alleyways.

Some places were a bit dusty like skirting boards and light switches etc but I am over the top on my housework at home so maybe it's me being picky.
A bulb went in the bathroom and when I told them about it it was replaced the same day , no messing.

The location was great, the owners really made us feel comfortable and was so friendly, it was a perfect place to take our dog, she wasn't allowed in the breakfast room but that didn't matter. The breakfast had a great selection and the eggs tasted amazing. I highly recommend this B&B.
