It is a home away from home offering spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated rooms. The full English breakfast is very tasty with a choice of options including a vegetarian one. The location is ideal: Close to train and bus stations (2 minutes on foot), close to harbour, beach and town centre. A great place of Cornish hospitality which is highly recommended.

Nothing spectacular, but does the job when you land in Penzance and have no place to stay. Located…read morejust a block from the train and bus stations, it is convenient for those of us who have a thing for catching early buses. I got a twin room from which you could see the local bar; surprisingly, no noise spilled in. The rooms were basic and adequately clean. Breakfast was probably the highlight of the place, as they cook a proper English breakfast (though vegetarian options are available). Overall, a pleasant stay.

Want a reliable B&B just yards from the sea in Penzance? Then look no further than Con Amore…read more Located just across the road from the pretty Morrab Gardens, this is a top-notch guesthouse which is clean and comfortable. My room was small but pleasant and served my needs. Simon is an excellent host and makes sure that everything is to your liking. The breakfast was filling and tasty and cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that the WiFi signal tends to be a bit hit and miss, I shall certainly stay at Con Amore if I ever go back to Penzance.
