“Very Comfortable B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

The building is very pretty and extremely well maintained. It is in a great location, easy to walk along the sea front, go into town, or even venture farther along the coast. It is set back from the road, so there is no road noise and there is plenty of parking (a great thing in a coastal city!)

We had a family room with tall windows that looked out over the sea. Although there is no road noise, the seagulls are incredibly noisy, especially at 5am, so I would not recommend sleeping with the windows open. The room had a extremely comfortable queen bed and two twin beds for my two teenagers, it was a perfect set up and we had room to move around. There was also a little lounge room just down the hall if you wanted to sit and read.

Special note: this was the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen! I am a stickler on cleanliness and this was perfect in every way. However, the shower water pressure was minimal, which is often the case when older buildings are retrofitted, but disapppointing as you rinse off one arm, then the other, etc.

Rita cooked the best breakfasts of our entire time in the UK! A great selection of cooked and cold breakfasts, served in a pretty room. I would definitely stay here again. Also note: lots of stairs, so not good for people with limited mobility.

Nothing negative to say about our stay here. Tom and Rita were perfect hosts. Our room was beautiful and very clean. Wonderfull choice at breakfast time and I would recommend the Lombard highly.

“There are no pirates in Penzance now and certainly none at Lombard House.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

Rita and Tom provided me with a friendly comfortable experience, exceptional value in every way, from the cozy perfectly appointed room, the excellent and satisfying breakfast through to a fund of local knowledge freely provided. (this last is of particular relevance as the Tourist Information Centres in Penzance and St Ives have been closed as a result of Government cuts). With respect to location, Regent Terrace is part of a very attractive enclave close by the sea and the rest of Penzance.

“Flawless B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2011

As the title says, this is a perfectly executed B&B. Location, food, service, cleanliness are all top notch. Tom and Rita are the owners of the establishment and are both helpful and interesting to talk to; they also prepare a delicious breakfast.

Overall, I would say that Lombard is much more luxurious than the average B&B that you'll find in the country. If you can get a reservation here while in Penzance, I would highly suggest taking it.

“Excellent Memories”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010

Unfortunately Penzance is a long way from London and so I will not be able to return that easily. Arriving in a new location is always a bit of a lottery so the relief was great when we stepped into our room (number 3) in Lombard House. Parking was easy, they have a lot of space. Easy to find as it is just a few yards from the main road along the harbour. Not far from the fantastic sea pool (wish the weather will be warm for the summer!). Rooms at the front have a very nice sea view. Our room had a very nice bathroom with all the bits that ladies like to have. Beds very comfortable and cozy bed linen. Breakfast served by Tom and cooked by Rita was AAA, and a very nice room it is, with doors opening to the front garden. Dinner found us twice at the Admiral Benbow, a huge burger is worth a try, but their food and friendly staff is very nice.
