    Both the breakfasts and location were excellent. Simon your host is very friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wonderful views over Looe from rooms, within easy walking distance of the town, you just need to be aware that it is located on a hill.

    We had a couple of amazing nights and three days in Looe. Walked the South West coast path, boat trip and mackerel fishing as a bonus. Amazing view from the balcony over the Looe. Simon, the owner, is very friendly, and professional and nothing is too much for him. Lovely breakfast and ever so comfortable bed. We will definitely return.

    Only minor issue was parking is challenging but unavoidable given the local topography, and the host provided every assistance including alternative parking nearby.

    Amazing location with excellent well appointed facilities and very helpful and friendly hosts. Would happily stay there again. Fabulous breakfast.

    The road leading to the property is very steep and narrow. It could be difficult for larger vehicles. You'll probably have to parallel-reverse park uphill. If you are OK with that, no problem. There is other parking available 100 or so metres uphill.

    The accommodation was fine. The view was great. Just a warning for people with difficulty walking: the property is on a steep hill.

    Very nice and clean and Simon the host was very nice nothing was to much trouble. Very helpful and good communication before our stay. The lady that cooked our breakfast was lovely and friendly and the breakfast was really nice with lots of options. Would definitely stay again although the hill was challenging but we were made aware of this when booking. The views are lovely worth the short walk up the hill.

    There was nothing we didn't like about Penwyn B&B although guests should be aware that the road is very narrow. However, the plus side of this are the beautiful views over the harbour.

    The breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked with locally sourced ingredients supporting local businesses. Simon, the host did all he could to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. He and his kitchen helper easily exceeded our expectations.
