Penrose Bed & Breakfast

We stayed 7 nights so we could do a quality trip of Cornwall. The place is classic Victorian ELEGANCE. Chris and Heidi are magnificent hosts. The food is top notch Try scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and dill, a 10 out of 10 From me. I also tried Kippers, my first time, very nice.

We stayed here for 2 nights as were attending a nearby wedding. Location was great for what we wanted. Cute village with a Co-op so we could pick up some snacks and drinks nearby. From the get-go, Chris and Heidi were available, friendly, helpful and welcoming. I have stayed in many B&Bs where the hosts are friendly but its clear they are doing it because they feel like they have to and seem to have lost their love for what they do. It could not be more different with Chris and Heidi! They are friendly and chatty without being imposing. So personable and warm, I could have happily sat and chatted with them both for hours! The house is lovely! Very vintage feel but with modern amenities. The mattress was super comfy and it felt like they had thought of almost everything in the rooms and as a person who loves planning and hosting myself, I really appreciated every detail. Would highly recommend this place and a massive thank you to Chris and Heidi for everything during out 2 night stay

My first visit to Lostwithiel.Very pleased with the Penrose Guest House. A warm and friendly welcome,by the hosts,Chris and Heidi.Comfortable ,spotless room with everything I needed.Good location,just a few minutes walk down to the town Centre..Off road parking..Excellent breakfast.Thank you both ,for making my stay so enjoyable.

Have just returned from a three night break as we were attending a friends funeral nearby. Chris and Heidi made a sad occasion much more bearable. They really are the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and the bed very comfortable. The breakfasts were superb with an amazing selection including Heidi’s home made marmalade and preserves. Would thoroughly recommend Penrose guest house.

We had an absolutely lovely long weekend at the Penrose B&B. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and charming, a beautifully-kept victorian house. Peaceful and quiet. Heidi and Chris serve excellent cooked-to-order breakfasts and are superb hosts who went out of their way to make our stay really pleasant. They provided lots of suggestions about things to do and places to eat. Lostwithiel is a place to visit in its own right. In addition, it's in quite a good location to explore Cornwall more widely. For a small town, it has some very good restaurants and takeaways.

I simply can’t say enough nice things about this b&b. The owners are absolutely lovely, greeted me with smiles in the car park, helped me with my bags and gave me all the info I needed about the local town (also lovely and an easy stroll from the b&b). The inside of the building is beautifully kept and squeaky clean. Plenty of space in the bedroom and the biggest en suit bathroom I’ve ever seen. Games and books available in the common room. The owners really do think of everything and anything you might need - dressing gowns, toiletries and even a sewing kit just in case. The bed was super comfy and the view from the window is beautiful. I only wish I was staying longer. If you are in the area for any reason, don’t miss out on this place. It’s absolutely fantastic and the price per night is beyond reasonable.
