Eins der besten B&Bs, in dem wir bisher waren. Sehr zu empfehlen. Danke Lisa und Mark. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes B&B. Man möchte am liebsten einziehen. Zimmer, Badezimmer, Frühstücksraum und Garten - wunderschön. Extrem sauber. Sehr nette und aufmerksame Gastgeber und tolles, liebevoll zubereitetes Frühstück. Pub mit gutem Essen um die Ecke.

Super friendly, amazing room and lovely vibe. It’s been said before but Mark and Lisa are great hosts. Breakfast was amazing and you are welcomed into their home as friends. We stayed in the Garden Room. Lovely art work and decoration. Everything is really good quality. Comfy bed, duvet and pillows. We got to enjoy the garden as well. Room serviced every day. Great shower. Farmers Arms on your doorstep with great food and drink. Loved every minute.

We didn’t want to leave!! The property was beautiful, very rustic and in such a peaceful quiet area, It felt like a home. We loved our stay at penwyth house with Lisa and Mark. They were fantastic hosts and really made you feel comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic and I’ve gone away with a garlic pepper obsession!
We stayed in the crantock room, it was spacious and very relaxing after a long day exploring and the freestanding bath was an added bonus to help with aching muscles.
The hosts couldn’t do enough for you, really down to earth people with amazing knowledge of where to visit, eat etc.
we would love to come back to stay for our next trip to Cornwall!
Thank you for having us ❤️

It was a very nice and cosy house. I loved the kitchen. The breakfast was very special and very, very tasty.
My room was large and cosy. It was cleaned every day and restocked with what was consumed.
Mark and Lisa were very welcoming and gave good tips on excursions.
It was about a 20 minute walk to the beach and from there you could start a cliff walk.
We did not have our own car park, but there were plenty of parking spaces on the street.

Lovely home and centrally located in Newquay to all you would want to see in Cornwall. Free parking by the home and a great English pub less than 100 meters from the B&B. The home is fresh, clean, modern and with loads of water pressure. 😁

The hosts are very welcoming and nice. Whatever question you have, they are always happy to answer and give very good recommendations. The breakfast is lovely - home made food that tastes delicious. The garden and rooms are really thoughtfully decorated.

Our stay at Penwyth House was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The house itself is beautifully maintained, blending historic charm with modern comforts, and every detail — from the cozy furnishings to the immaculate cleanliness — was thoughtfully prepared. The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the personal touches from the hosts, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend Penwyth House to anyone seeking a truly special experience.

Lisa and Mark are outstanding hosts who run their B&B with heart, energy, and real care for every guest. I stayed in the Crantock Suite—a gorgeous room with a beautiful morning view of the garden. Perfectly placed for exploring Truro, Newquay, and Padstow.

Lovely little gem just outside Newquay in a lovely village setting close to the farmers arms which does lovely food so you can a have a drink without worrying about driving. Great host Lisa and Mark were very friendly with lots of information will definitely come back

The room was first class, tastefully & carefully decorated & furnished.

Everything about this property was perfect.
Mark and Lisa are wonderful hosts.
They are engaging is the most lovely way.
Always so so friendly and helpful with everything, from how your day went to offers of places to go depending on your personal preferences and of course the weather.
Close to Newquay but without the hustle and bustle.
Peaceful place to stay with the local pub “The Farmers Arms” who serve the best evening meal at the end of an exhausting day so no need to go anywhere else.
The accommodation was so perfect, clean, beautiful gardens, wonderful freshly cooked breakfast great location.
Everything perfect.
Just try it.
You will not be disappointed.
Honestly this will ruin my chances of staying again because everyone will want to stay here.
Best thing I can say is :-
“you’ll arrive as a guests and hosts, but you will leave as best friends”
