The Summer House

Gorgeous B&B - quiet, comfortable and convenient. Rooms were lovely and well appointed - bed was extremely comfortable. Hosts were great - friendly, informative and helpful. Breakfast was absolutely lovely and beautifully presented. Parking available onsite which was a bonus. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful old house just a minute’s stroll from the seafront, with a small private car park, and pretty courtyard garden Everything at the Summer House is done with style and great care and it really was a pleasure to stay there. All areas were spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming. A variety of breakfast dishes are offered and they were were always of great quality, fresh and beautifully served. The selection of extra drinks and snacks for guests to help themselves to was very thoughtful and generous, and sets them apart from other places, including so called 5* hotels. Trevor and Kirsten are very warm and welcoming hosts. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they were a mine of information on where to visit, eat etc. We will certainly return when we’re next in Cornwall.

Comfortable, homely and smart. Warm welcome from Trevor & Kirsten, whose lovely paintings grace the walls. Excellent room & generous breakfast. 50 yds to the seafront and 250 yds to the Jubilee Pool. Famous restaurants and galleries of Newlyn and Penzance all in easy walking distance. We’ll be back.

We were greeted warmly, fed well and given helpful advice to make this a wonderful holiday experience in Cornwall. The easy parking was a bonus to a great location near the Penzance waterfront. The room was comfortable and well provisioned - we wish we had stayed longer!

We have just finished a five night stay with Trevor & Kirsten at The Summer House. It was absolutely perfect from the start to the end of our time there! The location of the The Summer House is ideal to explore southern Cornwall and further afield. Trevor & Kirsten couldn’t do enough to ensure we felt comfortable and at home, taking the time to help us research our days out, sharing local knowledge with us and even helping us park our car! Starting our days with a fantastic, and extremely delicious, choice of breakfast, then coming back after a day exploring to the friendliest hosts and most beautiful house was fabulous. The little touches like complimentary fresh milk for a coffee, chilled water and little treats in the pantry were extremely welcome after a busy day out! We would 100% recommend booking your stay at The Summer House, you won’t be disappointed!

An outstanding B&B, which we stayed in for 2 nights en route to Scilly, but we would gladly have stayed longer in this elegant, comfortable and welcoming B&B. Everything is top quality, from the public spaces to the bedrooms and the breakfast. Great thought has gone into the whole building, the level of comfort is outstanding, and the breakfast could not be bettered - high-quality ingredients, beautifully cooked. And even though we were only there for 2 nights, we were made to feel at home for the whole of our all-too-brief visit. The location, just back from the sea-front, is very convenient, there is car-parking on the premises, and Penzance is an excellent centre for exploring south-west Cornwall - Landsend, St Ives, and the Lizard Peninsula are accessible by car or public transport. We have no hesitation in recommending it.
