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!

This is one of the nicest stays we've ever had, and we've travelled a lot! Trevor and Kirsten are superb hosts! The property is clean and comfortable with a lovely living room open to everyone to enjoy, a beautiful private back garden where we were served tea and cake, and a sweet dining area that is open for coffee, tea, water, soft drinks and treats 24/7. We were made to feel extremely welcome and Trevor went out of his way to orient us. The location is great and we walked everywhere. The guest room had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was beyond fantastic and we would give it more than 10 stars!! We hope to return again in the future and we would highly recommend a stay here for anyone visiting Penzance or the Cornwall region.

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.
