This place is located just outside the penzance railway station. Restaurants, pubs, Tesco, co-op and the very important bus stop is located in a very close proximity and makes it the perfect place to stay. The owners are very friendly. The breakfast they made was very good.

A really warm friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. That feeling of a traditional bed and breakfast from childhood. Two minutes from the high st , five minutes from the railway station and the bus station. Ideally placed for visiting more of Cornwall be it by rail or bus.

Very good service, great breakfast and close to train station. Cramped rooms which were a bit outdated. Strong smell of air freshener and poor circulation. Mattress could use an upgrade.

Friendly, comfortable and convenient

Just an overnight stay between the train and the morning ferry but I’m glad I did. Very friendly and personal, early breakfast when they didn’t have to. And very good breakfast, set me up for the rough crossing. (Don’t go on an empty stomach) Quiet, comfortable bed, good shower, clean, couldn’t ask for more. 15 minutes walk to ferry, 5 from station. I hope places like this continue, it will be a sad world when we only have a premier inn as an option.

Couldn’t be better.

It was a delightful two night stay with a full Cornish breakfast. It seemed to have been renovated recently. Very clean and up to date. Location was excellent - a 3 minute walk from the train station and bus depot. Belinda and Bob were wonderful hosts. Would definitely reserve again on any future trip to Penzance. Easy to get to St Ives and Mousehole/Newlyn.
