Great B&B in Penzance
Lovey B&B in Penzance in walking distance to town centre along the promenade. Great breakfast and the hosts cannot do anymore. Super friendly with lots of local knowledge of how to get about. We will be going back.

Well run small guest house and I had a clean and comfortable room with excellent facilities. Proprietors were very friendly and informative about the area. A well prepared breakfast was offered with a good choice of options. Property is wishing walking distance of the sea and town with easy parking on the road.

So glad we chose the Dunedin
The owners made our stay like a home from home. Nothing was too much trouble from booking a taxi to helping understand the vagaries of the Canadian mobile phone that resisted my efforts. Really clean, comfortable and welcoming. We stayed two weeks and felt sad upon leaving. Many thanks are due.

The Dunedin
A very nice and comfortable en-suite room and very clean. An excellent location. No cooked meals due to Covid but option to have a continental breakfast delivered to the room each morning - suitable table and chairs provided. There is also a small fridge in the room.
