We stayed here as we had read the great reviews, Andrew was very helpful and I think that is really important when you go away, but our bathroom had been added into the bedroom and you could hear everything going on in the bathroom so not ideal, I had to ask for top ups for shampoo and shower cream everytime,...

My friends and I stayed at Glencree House for 3D2N during Oct and it was a wonderful experience! Lynsey and Andrew are very friendly and they made us feel really at home. The bedroom and dining room is very beautiful, the breakfast is delicious! If we do visit Penzance again, we will surely stay there again. Amy, Jolyn & Shermaine

My wife and I stayed at the Glencree House for one night while hiking the South West Cornwall walk in October 2012. We highly recommend it as this was by far the best B&B over our week’s walk. Excellent room with special touch to make one feels welcome and comfortable (e.g., high quality linen and towels, large room, etc.), excellent... More

My husband, his parents and I stayed at Glencree House for a night in early October and the stay was lovely. Andrew and Lynsey were lovely hosts, friendly and accommodating since my husband's parents are vegetarian. The breakfast was yummy too. The only gripe I had was that our room was really cold at night as the heating was switched... More

Wonderful room: old-fashioned nice furniture (four-poster bed), but modern in all respects you want it to be (alarm clock with iPod docking station, for Pete's sake!). I saw that room and wanted to move in. We sank into that bed every night and felt like royalty. Wonderful cozy living room/dining room for use of guests. You could spend a long... More

I cannot recommend this B & B highly enough. It ticked all the boxes for us! Lynsey and Andrew's attention to detail makes Glencree a delight to use. And the breakfasts are memorable. - So if in Penzance, don't miss this one!!

This was a great place to base our visit to the West country. Wonderful breakfasts, and Andrew was very helpful in suggesting restaurants and places to go. They have loads of guide books for you to use as well. There were many extras in the room upon our arrival, which the next day were not replenished, a minor inconvenience. Our... More

A lovely house and superb breakfast. Above all, the service and attention paid by Andrew was excellent. A delightful start to our Cornish holiday. The evening dining advice provided was perfect for us.

Like others have mentioned, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Glencree House. The breakfasts were top notch and the rooms were great (we had 2 with our family of 4). The best part though was the friendliness and attitude of the owner, Andrew. He took the time to give us the lay of the land when we arrived and... More
