Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you are looking to stay in Penzance area then look no further than Halcyon Guest House. Highly recommend this place having spent 7 nights here last week. The owners are super friendly highly experienced hosts who made us feel welcome and at home immediately. Room was excellent, spacious and comfortable. Top quality breakfasts which were always cooked to perfection, piping hot and sumptuous. It’s ideally located less than 10 minutes easy walking to Main Street shops and restaurants/ bars. But also a minute from A30 access route to Cornwall’s many beautiful beaches (St Micheal’s Mount (Marazion) is only 5-10 minutes drive away ). There is added bonus of private parking too. Pat and Bob are just lovely and so easy to get on with, so don’t waste time searching ...book here, it’s a gem!! I’ll certainly return soon.

Had a pleasant stay here for a couple of nights as part of a couple's holiday around Cornwall. The Halcyon Guest House was in an ideal location for us. The property is located just outside Penzance which allowed for a short drive into the town. There is free parking available at the property, and also in Penzance in the evening. The property is kept very tidy and provides an enjoyable atmosphere. The hosts - Pat & Bob - were both most welcoming to us and were a joy to talk with. They were able to provide some useful insights into the local area and suggested other towns to visit as part of our trip. If you're looking for a relaxing stay near Penzance, I'd recommend trying out this property.

My partner and I stayed here as part of our trip around Cornwall - staying for 2 nights - and greatly enjoyed our stay here. Right from the get go Pat & Bob made us both feel very welcome. They are lovely hosts who were a pleasure to talk to, and were more than happy to provide us with recommendations. The location of the B&B was perfect - just outside the centre of the city - and allowed us to easily get into Penzance, or go for a drive out to the neighboring places. The B&B itself was very well maintained - inside and outside - which made us feel comfortable during our stay. Would definitely recommend. Kind regards, Harry

I stayed here with a couple of pals on way to Isles of Scilly. Pat and Bob were recommended to us. What lovely genuine people, and what a great little place to stay. Food was perfect and Bob even gave us a lift to the ferry as we were running late. Location in the shadow of St Michael's Mount perfect. Very good value for money. Accomodation great. Cannot recommend highly enough

Great location close to the A30 for using as a base to see the best of West Cornwall. Close to a number of supermarkets (each with petrol station) should you need that too. Breakfast was tasty and plenty, rooms were clean and comfortable with a nice sea view. Pat and Bob were very friendly and hospitable and offered advice for our excursions. Highly recommend.
