We booked a double and a twin for two nights. Our hosts were organised and helpful on the phone[ in spite of us changing our booking] and sent clear travel directions. The en suite rooms, especially the double, were very spacious and comfortable and included seating. This is an old Victorian house which is freshly decorated and furnished in an... More

During our short stay in Penzance we really enjoyed our comfortable rooms, after spending so many hours climbing cliffs between The Lizard and St. Ives. Thanks to Mr. Dick for his useful advice! We particularly enjoyed our stop at Botallack, where we shot many "dramatic" pictures! We hope to be back sooner or later! Dory, Jo, Misha and Jessy More

From the moment of making our telephone booking until the time we left the accommodation the owners were very polite and helpful. We used this B & B for one night on our way out to the Isles of Scilly and again on our return and were grateful to get a place that would take one night stays in August... More

If you like B&Bs, this is the one in Penzance to go to: Elmsdale Guest House, with the very friendly and helpful couple Glennis and Dick. The Breakfast was the best we enjoyed on Alexandra Road - we compared it with two other B&Bs. Although the standard in all of the Guest Houses is comparably high, we found Elmsdale the... More

The reason we chose Elmsdale for our 8 nights in Penzance, was the generous cancellation policy, being that we booked half a year in advance and from quite a distance. We thought, if it sucks, we can change accommodation when we get there. Well, no need for that. Elmsdale has it all! Large, very clean room, plenty of space to... More

A friend and I had 2 rooms in this beautifully clean, comfortable, spacious and tastefully decorated B & B in early June 2011. Glennis and Dick Cliffe were the most gracious and accommodating of hosts who generously provided information on their area as well as other areas where we intended to travel. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for... More

I recently stayed at Elmsdale having travelled to Penzance for a wedding. There were so many places to choose to stay and it is always a bit of a lottery. I struck gold with Elmsdale. Mr and Mrs Cliffe were both extremely helpful and informative both prior to and during my visit. The room was light and airy, beautifully decorated... More
