Property's Favourite Review
A very comfortable Guest House close to the water approx a 20 min flat walk from the main shopping and restaurant area although there are a number of other restaurants close by. My stay was for 4 nights and was a great base to visit other villages close by and local attractions. Bernard, the host, was very helpful with information about the area and was around each morning serving a continental breakfast in a very nice dining area. My room was very spacious and clean.

Bernard is the manager of this place and as soon as you book you get beautiful and simple instructions about location, entry, location of your room and keys. Once in our room it had high ceilings, beautiful furniture and space - so much space. Wonderfully clean and decorated and then there comes breakfast. Just a continental one, but so much food on offer, with fresh fruit, croissants (heated) and an absolute variety of teas and coffee machine for the coffee fiends. Well done Bernard and Treventon. We have been travelling around Scotland and England from Australia for 5 weeks now and have stayed at some amazing places but Treventon rates right at the top for its price, professionalism, cleanliness and charm.

Information about access to the B&B was very clear and worked well. The premises were airy, bright, well decorated and very clean. Our room was on the second floor which involved a steep second flight of stairs with a good handrail. The room was a good size, with 2 very comfortable beds, a spotless en suite with a good shower, lots of hanging and drawer space and 2 armchairs. We had a good night’s sleep (rarely the case on a first night); the room was quite quiet given that it faced onto a quite busy route - perhaps because it was on the second floor.
The breakfast room was very comfortable and well appointed with drinks facilities, cutlery, etc which could be used by residents at other times of the day for take away meals. The breakfast was an excellent continental breakfast with a choice of juices, cereals, plain yogurt and fresh berry fruits. Also available was possibly the best croissant I’ve had in the UK, toast, spreads and a good range of both teas and coffees (available all day).
The host, Bernard, had gone out of his way to make the accommodation comfortable and welcoming. He was most helpful when it came to helping with the coffee machine and anything else where his insight was needed - a most obliging and thoughtful host. If and when we need to return to this area we will have no hesitation in returning.
The premises would not be suitable for people with mobility issues; there are no rooms on the ground floor and there is no lift but otherwise, difficult to fault at this price bracket.

I had a nice comfortable room on top floor with en-suite shower. Host Bernard was very helpful with advice on local travel and places to eat. It's in a peaceful neighbourhood, only 20 mins walk from train station (or £6 by taxi if it's raining). Breakfast is continental only but there's plenty of it, with fresh fruit and good coffee. Would definitely stay again.

We were very happy with our 3 night stay here. The room was on the second floor but Bernard who runs it was more than happy to help with luggage etc. He made our stay as he was happy to talk and give any helpful information he could. It was like staying with a friend as he was always friendly and helpful. There is no cleaning of the room or bed making for a short stay but we were more than happy with that and quite liked the idea that nobody was coming into the room and we could leave it as messy as we wanted without feeling guilty!
The house has beautiful Victorian features including a wonderful mosaic floor on the ground floor. It is very near to the promenade and various shops, pubs, fish and chips, garages etc. There is a bus stop nearby but buses don’t always run to time! We used the bus station which is about a 15 to 20 min. walk. A good breakfast as long as you are happy with continental and a good coffee machine. Everything was clean and tasteful. Would definitely recommend.

Our room (Marazion) was very clean and comfortable with a good shower in the en-suite. Breakfast was nice with a good variety of options - croissants, toast, fruit, cereal, yoghurt, juice and coffee. It was great to have access to the dining room throughout the day to get excellent coffee from the machine and use plates, cutlery - we bought a light tea/supper from the supermarket a short walk away and enjoyed eating it in the dining room. It was easy to find parking on the street outside. Bernard, the host, was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again if I return to Penzance. Highly recommended.

Treventon is a perfect place to stay. Our room (Mousehole) was very spacious, spotless and quiet. The building itself looks amazing! 15- 20 min walking from bus/train station, 2 min from promenade. Everything is perfectly organized by the Owner, who is very hard working and friendly person. Breakfast is simple, self service bufe style with mainly sweet options (if I can suggest sth- I would love to see more savory options- herb bread spread would do for me!), but it's not a deal breaker. I hope to be back and recommend the place to everyone! Thank you! Jarmila/Adriana

We loved this B&B - it’s a beautiful character building, renovated really tastefully. Our room was huge and all the details were covered off to make it a comfortable stay.
We liked the self-checkin since it took the pressure off arriving at a certain time. Small suggestion, that a board in the foyer with rooms and names would make it even simpler.
Lovely continental breakfast in the bright, light dining room. Bernard is running a top place!

The host is brilliant and gracious. We came to walk the Cornwall Coastal path and the room was comfortable, spacious, quiet, and huge.
The continental breakfast and wonderful coffee made it easy to take on the brutal topography of the coastal path. Lots of good restaurants nearby for supper, and excellent pubs with local flair/ambience.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Treventon Guest House for any couple exploring the Penzance area

Our room was lovely and the bed was comfy. The guest house was in a good location, close to the town and easy to access the surrounding areas such as lands end and porthcurno. Breakfast had lots of items on offer, which were constantly replenished. The host Bernard was so welcoming and friendly. He was very attentive and full of information. We had taken paddle boards and he advised us on a good place to go, also he let us borrow a screwdriver for the paddles as we had forgotten to bring one. Nothing was ever too much for him. A very enjoyable stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to return!
