We just needed one nights accommodation in the area to meet up with some friends. A quick google search came up with Penrose although I wasn't very hopeful as myself and my friend had 3 dogs between us and wanted to share a room. However, this was greeted with no problem. In many places when you have a dog you... More

Beautiful Rooms, full English breakfast and fantastic innkeepers Chris and Heidi. Couldn't have had a better experience. Just a little bit hard to find but worth the effort.

After a long train ride from London, to arrive to a warm welcome and comfy room was lovely. Heidi & Chris have thought of everything in the room, even things that you wouldn't necessarily expect in a B&B: dressing gowns; cotton wool; classy toiletries; alarm clock; magazines & novels; bottle-opener; shoe polish & sewing kit to name a few. There... More

We arrived to a really friendly welcome and help with parking. A lovely B&B in a good location for visiting the Eden Project, Fowey etc. The room was clean and nicely decorated and well equipped with a lovely selection of toiletries too. There was plenty of tea (including fruit tea), coffee and hot chocolate in the room. Breakfast was very... More

Heidi and Chris are excellent hosts, Penrose B&B is excellently run, convivial beyond belief and the perfect base for exploring many Cornish treasures. Very well appointed rooms, with all you need for a comfortable stay. I did say to Chris that this is the best B&B that we have stayed in, in the UK. I stand by that comment. Walks... More

We booked up for a long weekend for my wife's 30th in Mid March. The small town in which it is located is very nice, with Penrose B&B being just a short walk from the town/village centre. We walked there every night and found some great places to eat and the locals are very friendly. As for Penrose B&B itself,... More

We stayed the one night with our two year old son in the Deluxe family room which more than exceeded our expectation! Really comfortable bed, lots of space including the ensuite which can be rare! And we even had a kitchen to use which was a huge bonus with a small child. Heidi and Chris were so welcoming and accommodating... More

We returned to Penrose after what we worked out to be a 5 year break, but Heidi remembers us (for our overloaded little car after a trip to Trago Mills!) It was just as good, if not better than the first. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We chose Room 4 so we could enjoy the seats in the bay window and... More
