We had high expectations of Penarwyn House, being familiar with the standards of Wolsey Lodges - but our hosts and their humble residence surpassed these expectations with consummate ease! Jan's gracious charm (not to mention her absolutely top-notch breakfasts) and Mike's valuable local knowledge, willingness to assist, and wry sense of humour all contributed to what turned out to be...

We arrived at Penarwyn House on the evening of our wedding for a two-night stay. Mike came out to greet us and help us with our bags, and Jan put my bouquet in water. Then Mike insisted on driving us to Austells, the fantastic restaurant we had booked for the evening, AND picking us up. They couldn't have been kinder... More

We chose Penarwyn as we enjoy comfort and quality, and it was the right decision. We stayed in the Trefrry Room, and were more than satisfied with the choice.

This is as perfect as a B&B can go. We stayed 3 nights in the Prideaux room and our son in a separate single room. Mike and Jan are professionals having run a hotel business in Penzance and decided to calm down a bit in this beautiful house. So you're in for detailed guidance, printed maps and suggestions for eatery's,... More

From the moment we arrived and were welcomed as we got out of the car, our stay at Penarwyn House was superb. Once we settled into our room we were invited to the drawing room for a wonderful pot of tea and slice of cake. Our host Mike couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, advising us where the best... More

one of the best we have ever stayed in. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the whole house decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Breakfast was great with lots of choice and very well cooked and presented. Mike and Jan were very friendly and helpful and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Penarwyn House to friends and family. Thank... More
