PENCUBITT HOUSE is situated, a 5 minute drive, just off the A38 on the edge of Liskeard, an old tannery market town in Cornwall. This is an ideal location for exploring the County of Cornwall. The GWR main line from Paddington to Penzance is a 7 minute walk to the house, as is the Looe Valley railway line. Exclusively adults only, our former Victorian Wool Merchant’s Residence features nine individually decorated and comfortable rooms together with a relaxing guest lounge and a fully licensed residents only bar. In the lounge you will find all day complimentary tea & coffee. Here you can read from our collection of informative and interesting books, compete at Scrabble, or simply enjoy a drink from the bar whilst overlooking the garden and the beautiful rolling countryside of the Looe Valley. You won’t want to leave! Our aim is to ensure you enjoy your stay with us in our relaxing and comfortable character home. We look forward to welcoming you.

What a fabulous find! We spent 5 fabulous nights at The Pencubbit. Could not fault this B & B in any way. Absolutely spotlessly clean. Rooms large and airy. Comfortable beds. Fan, hairdryer, bath robe, tea/coffee making facilities in every room. Large screen tv in the room. Patrick and Julie were great hosts without being intrusive. Lovely grounds to walk around and sit in. Quiet location but 7 minute walk to the railway station. We ordered dinner each night and the food was fabulous. We worked our way through the menu! Pat has been a chef for a long time and we certainly benefited from his expertise. 2 really lovely lounges to sit in. A great residents bar too! We originally opted for this place as it’s adults only. We love our grandchildren but enjoyed the peace! If your thinking of booking don’t hesitate. You will not be disappointed.…

Pencubitt is a truly stunning country house with beautiful grounds to sit in and relax, after a day out sightseeing. The wildlife is lovely, we were lucky to have Housemartins and Rabbits around and the views are spectacular. The owners Pat and Julie were the perfect hosts, warm, welcoming and friendly. The whole house was spotless with a lovely eclectic mix of care and attention to detail. The food is second to none and you will certainly not be left feeling hungry! The bedroom was very spacious with a lovely comfortable bed and everything we could have wanted was provided. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend Pencubitt.

Words can not express how we feel about our very recent stay, from the wonderful welcome received from Patrick on arrival to the sumptuous bedroom with balcony. Tea and coffee with fresh milk in one of the lounges. Food always piping hot and more than willing to accommodate dietary requirements ty patrick. Food all cooked fresh a real treat. Julie so welcoming and friendly and genuinely wants your stay to be as comfortable as possible. The whole hotel is. Maintained to a high standard and it’s the minor details which they take pride in as well as the obvious. It oozes luxurious comfort. We will certainly be back. Thank you Patrick and Julie for our wonderful stay

Everything was perfect: Patrick, Julie, the two ladies who work there and of course Pencubitt House! We felt like home thanks to Julie because she was very loving and caring with us, and we'll never forget the amazing breakfasts and delicious dinners cooked by Patrick. If you are going to visit Cornwall, don't hesitate, this is the perfect place to stay!

My wife and her sister are originally from Liskeard so very familiar with the local area as their family still live locally. We decided on a stay at Pencubitt as we were attending a special birthday of a family member, rather fitting as my wife and sister attended a wedding over forty years ago at the same hotel! I hasten to add that Julie and Patrick haven’t been the hosts all of that time but from my understanding have enhanced the hotel to a very high standard to where it is today. The quality of bed linen, exceptional standards maintained throughout the hotel and nothing too much trouble, all together make for a wonderful stay. Breakfast was equally a quality experience, from the produce used, cooked perfectly. Fresh milk available from the lounge area to make tea & coffee, or relaxing in the bar area with a drink (very reasonable bar prices I hasten to add). It is worth reading the history of this rather magnificent house as it make’s interesting reading. All in all, an excellent stay and I’m sure we will return in the future.…

Julie and Patrick made me feel very at home - they are so welcoming and considerate towards all their guests. The dinners are excellent - fresh ingredients cooked to perfection by Patrick. The lounge and bar are relaxing spaces and I enjoyed having a drink on the terrace overlooking the garden. The lounge is stocked with tea, coffee and fresh milk. Room 9 was on the 2nd floor but well worth the climb up the stairs. A comfortable bed in a spacious bedroom and a slipper bath in the middle of a huge light and airy bathroom with a large shower. Bliss!! Liskeard station is only just over 5 minutes walk away with good links to Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall. The branch line to Looe is a beautiful ride too.

What a wonderful and immaculate property this is. Patrick & Julie were fantastic hosts, very friendly and attentive. Our room was absolutely perfect in every way, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also of an extremely high standard. We can’t wait to return...!

Room was described as a small cosy double room turned out to be quite a large room. Great stay and beautiful house and relaxing gardens. One of the best breakfasts I have had at a hotel. Friendly hosts

This was our fourth delightful visit! One is sure of a friendly reception, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, attractive lounges and excellent meals. The dinner menu is wide-ranging: guests choose from the menu in advance so that meals are cooked to order ensuring top quality. The grounds are pleasant for sitting out. Pencubitt is well situated for visiting coastal resorts including Looe and Fowey, while historic houses and gardens including Lanhydrock and Pencarrow are readily accessible. It's just a few minutes walk to Liskeard station (though it's out of sight and the trains are inaudible from the hotel) and the train ride down to Looe is a scenic delight (and saves parking the car at Looe!). We are already looking forward to our next visit.
