My Wife and i stayed here over the Bank Holiday weekend. We booked on Wednesday evening to arrive late on Friday. Heidi and Chris were very accommodating and found a room for us. They made excellent and easy communication by phone and email. We booked the Penrose as friends were staying there and the reviews were good. We were not... More

We stayed there for two nights in the beginning of may, 2013. The house is beautiful, big, nice. Chris & Heidi are kind. For my opinion they are very professional, but we didn't feel as in b&b, more like in a small hotel. Everything is planned, we had to define our time of breakfast immediately. No welcome cream tea, as... More

Thank you for your kind comments about our beautiful home. We are in fact a large and busy Bed and Breakfast, with 7 bedrooms and can cater for up to 14 - 16 guests. As such we need to be a little more organised than your traditional 2 or 3 bedroom establishment. This is not just for our benefit, but... More

Lovely character property. We were in the attic room, which was perfect. Hosts Chris and Heidi were outstanding - nothing was too much trouble and they went way beyond expectations in helping us settle in. Breakfast was good with local produce and plenty to choose from, though my Other Half thought the coffee could be better. Overall I would highly... More

This is a superb B&B. Beautiful house and great hosts. I had the standard room and it was perfect. They have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I'll definitely be returning.

This was our second visit to the Penrose in 2 years..... Heidi & Chris are the perfect hosts, you are immediately greeted like a long lost family member.... Rooms are more like 5* hotel rooms than your regular B&B....spotless & with high quality toiletries, warm comfortable rooms with a certain charm. Breakfast is cooked by Heidi, fresh every morning with... More

We stayed in Lostwithiel for a wedding. The room was compact an bijou but warm (it was a cold April) and clean. The hospitality of Chris and Hidi was stand out particularly Hidi's smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The only slight disappointment was the shower water pressure in our ensuite. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Hello, and thank you for your kind comments. It was a shame that the weather was freezing for the wedding in the outside marquee. Thankfully, the girls took my advice to take along some warm cloths to change into after looking fab in the sparkly dresses. You were staying in our smallest ensuite room, the rest are substantially bigger, but... More

TripAdvisor recommendations led us to this fantastic B&B in Lostwithiel. We couldn't have asked for a friendlier welcome. The Penrose was an excellent base from which to explore both north and south Cornish coasts, including The Eden Project, Bodmin and Padstow. The expansive but cosy room allowed us to spread out and make ourselves at home. The accommodation was spotlessly... More

We have stayed twice at Penrose and have had great experiences from both times. Heidi and Chris show outstanding hospitality from the minute you walk in. Great choice of cooked breakfast as well as continental breakfast ( all included in the price). Our favourite room has to be room 3, which overlooks Lostwithiel, has its own private bathroom - stunning... More

We booked this B&B after we saw the reviews on here. It was a very lovely and enjoyable stay... although it was only one night! Heidi & Chris were very kind and helpful, coming to meet us as we arrived. Although the rooms are not to my taste on the website, they do suit the house. They are very clean,... More

The room was lovely, beautifully decorated and the bathroom similarly so. The bed wasn't as comfy as some, as we could feel the springs through the mattress. Overall though, well done, with lots of thoughtful touches such as filter coffee in the rooms, wine glasses, chocolate on sale in the lobby etc. Breakfast was well cooked and good quality, with...

Thank you for your review, it is always good to hear what guests think about us, and we are always looking for ways we can improve the guests’ experience. Thank you for your lovely comments about the room, breakfast, the little touches and our hospitality. Although we are then a bit confused by your comment of “old fashioned boarding house”... More
