My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights recently and it was lovely! We arrived, and were met by Norman who showed us to our room and made us feel very welcome. Bed was comfortable and the shower worked (Thats all we needed really, somewhere to lay our heads and get clean!) Breakfast was really tasty, selection of fruits,... More

Located within walking distance to the main town of Penzance, this lovely little B&B has a homely feel and the host and his wife prepared a tasty breakfast to get us started each day. Free parking is provided in the side street or ask the host for a park in the lane behind the B&B. A nice walk can be... More

Arrived and booked there and then with the friendly host Norman. Recommended several places in Penzance to visit-went to some and enjoyed each one. Good nights sleep, great views and easy walking distance into town. Breakfast was good and room/b&b very clean and tidy with plenty of things provided in the room.

We stayed at the corner house for three nights in July 2012. Norman the host was great. He recommended places to eat and transport options in getting around to see the local sights. Breakfast was good. We had a room at the front of the B&B so had great views of the sea.

There was hardly any storage space and the furniture was rattan so couldn't be cleaned properly. The mirror was on a wall... More

Read all the reviews and thought "this place can't be that good" but it was! Lovely, warm welcome from owners Diane and Norman, delicious breakfasts and a fabulous location on the prom - who could want for more. We stayed for a week in the four poster room and really couldn't find any fault with this gorgeous little B+B. It... More

We arrived early off the sleeper train, to leave our luggage with them, where we were invited for a tasty breakfast. We stayed in a beautiful room, and Norman and Diane gave us great advice on what to see and do in the surrounding area. They even let us leave our luggage on departure to come back for it later....
