In August 2014, I stayed for the second time at Glencree House with my mother because we had a…read moresplendid holiday the last time we were here. We arrived by train; you walk about 20-25min to the house and a taxi is recommended if you have a lot of luggage or children because it goes uphill and then downhill when you walk. We were greeted like old friend by Andrew, the owner. Our first time, we had a twin room with ensuite on the top floor not facing the sea which we didn't mind at all as we really wanted a good night's sleep and not the noise from the street. The breakfast is really fantastic. Every day I tried a different one and until today I can't really decide which was the best. They were all delicious. Andrew was very helpful to give tips what to do in the area and how to get to places. The city centre is just 5min away if you short cut up the hill and through the park. We had a wonderful stay at Glencree House and do recommend it! The second time we had a twin room with half-view of the sea and an insight into Andrew's backyard. We heard his kids playing in the garden which wasn't a problem as we weren't in most of the time anyway. Nothing had changed since last time, same hospitality, great breakfast, clean and tidy room. Thanks to Molly and Lisa for being a great help to Andrew and Lynsey. We had a wonderful time in Glencree House - only the poor neigbour's dog that seemed to be shut out of the house very often, barking at the door, was something to get used to - and nothing was too much for Andrew and Lynsey, always helping out with so many things. I very much appreciated the help they gave when I needed a printout for a flight ticket and they offered to print it for me. Thank you again. I have been to so many guesthouses now but Glencree is always my No. 1. Room Tip: Rooms facing the street are quieter as it's a side street but rooms facing the sea have a wonder... Green Features: The house has only family and friends tested shampoo, shower gel and hand soap, and delicious breakfast where the food comes from local farmers.

We loved our stay at Glencree House. The breakfast is splendid with fresh local fare to choose…read morefrom. And Andrew was a wonderful and helpful host. The location is great for walking about to anywhere in town.

For our family holiday in Cornwall, we stayed at several different B&Bs, but the Blue Seas was BY…read moreFAR everyone's favorite. Fiona & Arnaud are the perfect hosts, and were a good source of information on things to do in the area. They went out of their way to have breakfast ready for us a little earlier one day as we had a flight that morning to the Isles of Scilly. Internet was a little spotty sometimes, but workable. And the breakfast! You can have a traditional English fry-up, but there are so many other options as well. We loved the pancakes with fresh fruit and the warm baguettes. It was a perfect fusion of English & continental cuisine. I'd return to Penzance just to stay at the Blue Seas.

This is an outstanding family run bed and breakfast hotel and represents great value in our…read moreopinion. The first thing we noticed was how elegant the building was, with stylish interior decoration and high ceilings proving a lot of light in the rooms. It is located a stone's throw away from the sea, which you can view from some bedrooms. We were offered rather nice coffee on our arrival along with freshly baked homemade scones, then relaxed in the front room where there was a computer if we needed (WiFi provided throughout the hotel). The couple who run it were fantastic; very friendly and helpful with any queries, and there was a printed guide in our room complete with local restaurant menus in it (we'd recommend the Navy Inn). They also happen to produce AMAZING breakfasts. And a great choice of coffee. They are also a certified Green Business, and food and toiletries are sourced locally. It made for a quality stay in the centre of Penzance; we'd recommend this hotel to anyone!

We were greeted in the bar by friendly and professional staff, one of which showed us to our room…read more We knew we'd have to climb stairs to the room because it's an Inn, not a hotel, but we'd been put on the 3rd floor, which might be ok if you're part mountain goat, but is a little tough on a couple of oldies! Nevertheless the room was clean, bright and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. And the water pressure in the shower was more than capable of knocking barnacles off of our day-weary wrecks of bodies! After taking a walk to Lizard Point we went back to the Inn for dinner, and we weren't disappointed. Both dishes were great, as was the sticky toffee pudding WE had for desert. I say WE, cus my wife pinched half of mine despite having her own ice cream! Getting ready to go down friend breakfast, will update this review shortly! Ok, so breakfast was fantastic. My wife had drop-scone pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, I had smoked Hake with two poached eggs, grilled tomato and mushrooms. I've never had Hake before so wasn't sure what to expect. I need ent have worried, it was beautiful, big flakes of smokey, flakey fish. The eggs were cooked to perfection as were the mushrooms and tomato. My wife's pancakes were light and fluffy and the bacon was just crispy - not over cooked! Would give the breakfast 10/10 and will definitely be on the lookout for Hake in the future!!

While staying at Henrys campsite in Lizard this was very convenient and a 2 min stroll into the…read morevillage for a night cap. Good selection of food, a small but excellent Gin cocktail list ( the landlord advised me he's not a cocktail bar ) good cider and beer whatever your partial too. Also if you want to walk to the light house or walk the coastal path which starts 5 mins from this pub it's very convenient
