Just a 2-minute walk from Penzance seafront, this 4-star, elegant guest house offers unique, stylish rooms and lovely sea views over Mounts Bay. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Bright and modern, every room at Duporth Guest house is individually decorated and features a fridge, microwave, and toaster. Rooms all feature an en suite bathroom and hairdryer, along with a TV and tea/coffee facilities.

Host was very responsive and answered all my questions very quickly. Room was much larger than expected and very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and reasonably varied and, best of all, available on my schedule because it was already in the room fridge, with the appliances and dishware needed. Bathroom was clean and a good shower.ocation was perfect for access to restaurants, grocery, buses, and the Coast Path.

The Union Hotel is in the centre of Penzance. A 5-minute walk from the sea, the 17th-century building houses Hamilton’s Restaurant and also Nelson’s Bar, where there is free WiFi.

Rooms at The Union Hotel retain their traditional style, many have excellent sea views of Mount's Bay, and most are en suite. All are centrally heated and have a TV, a radio and tea and coffee facilities.

We can't praise the staff enough. I have visited The Union twice in the last couple of months with my family and both times we have received a warm and friendly welcome. We love the dated old world decor and think you should never change it!

Retaining many original features, this stone-built Victorian property has open fires, stained glass windows and charming individually designed rooms with free WiFi. The Estoril is just 250 metres from Penzance’s Western Promenade and beach.

Absolutely loved the personal touches of the property - it wasn't like a typical hotel and each room had a lot of character. The room we stayed in was so cute and cozy, fitted with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was filling and fresh and it fueled us for our visit around Penzance. The conservatory was gorgeous as well and I highly recommend eating or sitting out there if you have time. You can also store luggage there. 10/10 experience and I'll definitely book here again the next time I'm in the area. The hosts were so friendly and made the experience more memorable and personable.

Less than a 10-minute drive from St Ives and a 10-minute walk from the sandy Carbis Bay beach, Downsfield Bed and Breakfast offers rooms with free Wi-Fi, a guest lounge with a log burner, and a garden.

Cute character Shepherds Hut style accommodation. Lovely decor. A small unit with no sitting room so if you prefer more space this won't suit you. But it was lovely, clean, comfortable, and only a short drive from St Ives and near a lovely Spanish restaurant which was a very short walk down a country lane.

    We had an amazing week whilst staying at Rosehendra cottage. It was peaceful, relaxing and just the recharge we needed from our busy work life. A fantastic base to explore beautiful Cornwall. Especially Lands end and The Lizard peninsula. WOW! Kynance Cove is a must see! Owners on site and hosts were super friendly and helpful and recommended lots of places we visited. A lovely authentic cottage in a gorgeous rural setting. Was very sad to leave and would highly recommend.

    Everything worked. Although small, the property was really well designed and had everything we needed. We were lucky, the weather was good so we made the most of the outside area. The terrace was very pretty. Thanks for the cream tea left in the fridge. Nice welcome x.

    Great location for exploring St Ives, Minack Theatre, Lizard Peninsula etc. A stylish conversion of a pig sty. All you need - stove top, microwave, frig with fresh milk, effective heating. Very good bathroom. Sofa, dining table and 2 solid chairs very welcome. Hosts supplied an extra bright reading light for me. No wifi, and feeble reception, which I actually found restful. Bed comfy, very suitable for leisurely sleep-ins. In warm weather it would be delightful to sit outside. A convenient designated car park is also a bonus.
