"Quite possibly the best value bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. Easy to find and between Penzance and Marazion, it’s perfectly situated. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. The hot drinks and water provided was a lovely touch. Yes - the place is a little rough around some of the edges but the staff are so helpful and friendly - and above all kind. Nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious and huge! I would always look for this place when coming back to this area. I stayed with children who loved it and loved the staff."
