We stayed one night at Sophia's and would thoroughly recommend this establishment. Lovely room, tastefully decorated to a high standard with great views of the sea. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and we also had an evening meal in the restaurant which was equally delicious! The owner was extremely welcoming and friendly. All in all an excellent... More

We stayed for three nights in Zelah, a first floor room with a king-size bed, and a fantastic en-suite bathroom. We loved our stay: the decor is very modern and luxurious and the room was spotless. Lots of nice touches: mineral water and fruit juices were provided in the room every day. Comfy bed, and great shower. Nice window seat,... More

This is no ordinary B&B. We arrived to home made biscuits with tea, and the warmest of welcomes. The bedroom was classy, with freshly ironed sheets, and the most comfortable bed we have had away from home. The bathroom was fitted with high end appliances and taps. A separate area for drink making had everything you could need. The owner... More

Sophia took our frantic call from islands off the coast of Cornwall. Our boat would not sail on the day of our scheduled return, so we had to leave early--did she have a room? We had eaten at Sophia's just before leaving on our island jaunt, and we just loved the delicate fresh fish and Greece inspired meat dish. When... More

This is no ordinary B&B. The standard of the accomodation is exceptional, with a wonderful bed,freshly ironed sheets, and the perfect modern bathroom. The owner has cleverly combined a feel of the sea front with modern levels of comfort. We had homemade biscuits with tea on arrival, and a wonderful meal of fresh fish, homemade soup, meatballs in a tasty... More

Lynn should wear a superwoman cape for everything she achieves at Sophias. From the moment we arrived (earlier than planned) we were made so welcome and offered coffees/teas. Our stay was just one night as we were catching the early morning ferry to Scilly the next day. Our room was wonderful with a fantastic view of the sea. Lovely comfortable... More

A great location, fantastic room, awesome bathroom, comfortable bed and great food. Lynne could not be a better host, Sophias was simply outstanding. We were so lucky to be there for two nights as we progressed around the Southwest Coastal path. More

I was a little dubious booking this B & B on the Internet from Australia, (having had some bad previous experiences in the UK) but did so on the strength of the photos of the bathroom on the website. We now believe this is the best accommodation we've ever had in the UK. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, windows that can... More

Greeted with a warm and friendly smile by Lynn on arrival we were offered a freshly made coffee to take up to our room with us. The rooms are beautifully made out with neutral colour scheme and top quality furnishings. The bathroom is stunning with a generously sized shower. The best part of the room is the view you get...

My wife and I stayed one night at Sophie’s B&B in Penzance whilst on our trip to Isle of Scilly and we simply loved the place. From the point we arrived after a long journey from London, we were made comfortable. We were shown our room, which I must say was better than any hotel room and the attention to... More
