What our guests have to say about Penwyth House

Mark & Lisa made our trip so memorable and we couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend, Mark & Lisa went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing less than excellent. As it was my partners birthday I wanted to do something special and they were very accommodating to my requests. Even went the extra miles and bought an ice bucket 🙌🏻. The place was welcoming, spotless, and breakfast in the morning was something to look forward to, especially marks Pancakes 👌🏻. Definitely the go to.

Wir waren eine ganze Woche bei Mark & Lisa und hatten die beste Zeit! Wunderschöne Unterkunft, herausragendes Frühstück und der beste Service - wir hätten uns nicht wohler fühlen können. Mark & Lisa waren sehr zuvorkommend, hatten immer einen Tipp für die Region und man merkt sofort, dass sie lieben was sie tun.

We stayed in the garden room for a few days whilst walking some of the SW coast path. A lovely comfortable room with a great shower, comfortable bed and a view of the pretty garden from the stable door. The room had a fridge with fresh milk which was fantastic. Lisa and Mark are great hosts, with plenty of tips for places to visit and where to eat. The Farmers Arms is a short stroll from Penwyth House, offering pub grub. Breakfast was good, from fruit, cereals, toast and scrambled eggs with crispy bacon or pancakes with fruit and yogurt. Mark sent texts prior to arrival with access details which were really helpful. Parking in the nearby Church car park (you need the pass from Lisa and Mark to pop in the car) or outside the house if there's space. A very enjoyable stay, highly recommend a visit.

What a gorgeous B&B Mark & Lisa have here! From the moment I walked in, I had the warmest welcome and the Daisy room I stayed in was lovely and cosy. As a solo traveller, this suited me perfectly and the lovely, fun’s chats with Mark and Lisa every morning at breakfast set me up for the day ahead before I went off on my exploring! It was in a great location, great price, the room was always spotless and the breakfast was delicious (I had something different every single morning!) I would stay here again and again! Thank you both! X

Breakfast was as good as it gets. Room very comfortable considering how compact it was. Ideal location, just down the road from a very nice pub where we had dinner both nights. Impressed that we were provided with free parking just down the road. The big question is always would we return? 100%. See u next time.

I loved entering the garden gate (when I'd fathomed out the entry system!) into the beautiful garden. The very warm welcome we received from Lisa and then Mark on his return. The decor throughout the house is lovely. Our room was spacious and airy with a great sized bathroom. The bed was so very comfortable. I loved the bath sheet sized towel and was thrilled when I saw you had the same towels as us. Very often the towels are no larger than a hanky! The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order on the morning. A great location despite no onsite carpark, we were lucky to park right outside on the road but the church carpark is just down the road. A very quiet area within walking distance of a great pizza restaurant or a pub just across the road. You surpassed my expectations, thank you!

2 wundervolle Wochen bei Lisa & Mark im Bed&Breakfast Wir haben 2 Wochen in dieser tollen Unterkunft verbracht. Lisa und Mark haben uns aufgenommen, als würden wir zur Familie gehören. Das Frühstück war nicht nur hervorragend, sondern auch zugleich der perfekte Start in den Tag mit angeregten Gesprächen über das Erlebte und vielen neuen guten Tipps für die nächsten Ausflüge oder Aktivitäten. Ein größerer kostenloser Parkplatz ist keine 2 Minuten vom schönen und liebevoll gestalteten Haus mit Garten entfernt. Auch ein typischer uriger Pub mit Biergarten und sehr reichlichen Portionen 🙂 ist gleich um die Ecke. Neben wunderschönen Stränden und beeindruckenden Küstenwanderungen gab es so viel zu entdecken und zu erleben… ein rundherum gelungener Urlaub 🙂 Wir kommen gern wieder😊

The hosts are very welcoming and warm. I was travelling by bike and left my bike in the garden overnight, which was very convenient for safety. It is a quiet area, with a pub in a 1 minute walk. Very good breakfast. Perfect if you are cycling in Cornwall since the National Cycle Route 32 runs right down the street.

Familiäre, private Wohlfühlatmosphäre. Ein wunderschönes Kleinod, sehr ruhig, wenige Zimmer für höchste Ansprüche geeignet. Lisa und Mark sind phantastische Gastgeber, denen das Wohl der Gäste über alles geht. Die Gäste erhalten individuelle Tipps für Unternehmungen und Ausflüge. Das Frühstück schmeckt köstlich und variiert je nach Wunsch.

Great location (easy walk down to the beach) and super nice couple who were very knowledgeable about the area and Cornwall generally. The place was light, clean and welcoming.

Wonderful stay at Penwyth House - thoroughly recommend! It was a lovely cosy room which was very clean. Mark and Lisa were exceptional hosts. The bed was very comfy and great shower with all required amenities. Lots of lovely little touches, they noticed we had some bubbles with us, and there magically appeared some flutes without needing to ask! Beautiful garden. Breakfast was great. Overall, it was great and we loved our stay.

Penwyth House ist ein kleines Juwel: sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer, eine tolle Lage....nur 15 Minuten zum Strand, Pub ist gleich um die Ecke, Penwyth House war bestens geeignet für unseren 14 tägigen Aufenthalt. Neben der tollen Landschaft war das B&B unser absolutes Highlight des Urlaubs! Lisa und Marc sind so liebenswert.....sie haben immer eine Empfehlung, ein liebes Wort....und ein mega leckeres Frühstück....von uns eine absolute Empfehlung.

Everything, the accommodation, Mark and Lisa’s hospitality and the lovely breakfast that Lisa made us every morning. This was my first solo break and I was a bit nervous about it but Mark and Lisa made me feel at home - my home away from home!

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.

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

What a superb, clean, modern, lucky find. Everything we needed for our stay, and all managed by the perfect hosts. Plenty of information given for where we could visit on our stay, both provided this up front to allow for any pre-booking, and was readily available upon arrival too.

The property was spotless, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming too. And the breakfast? Delicious. Not your bog standard full English but a far more tasty version of herby scrambled eggs, toast, pancetta bacon with tomatoes and mushrooms. We made a great choice choosing this place and have no hesitation in highly recommending it.
