Carson house was very comfortable and the breakfast was great. I would prefer a double duvet on a single bed - but maybe I'm being fussy.

Mix feelings
I love that it’s near the train station to go to other places outside Penzance and the bus stations near by too. The locals are friendly in Penzance they give you some tips to what you can do down there and the best place for a Cornish pasty's. I was in bedroom 2 the single bed this was lovely cosy room en-suite too but the bed always made a sound when moving in the bed might need a new mattress soon.There was 2 occasions when someone outside my window somewhere was smoking weed and it filled my bedroom of it which wasn’t nice. Must be the pub owners next door to the b and b and the view of the window wasn’t nice. The walls were a bit thin too for other people staying there you could here there tv too. There was an occasion I could hear someone snoring next door to my room. I have to say the breakfast was good but I prefer fresh sausages and not frozen ones. I like the fact the b and b owners ask you what plans you had and they gave good advice what you could do in and around Penzance. They were always friendly and they like a laugh too. So overall a mixture of good and bad. The price I paid was £350 for 6 nights which is better priced than some other places.

Klein aber fein…
Familiär von Rob und Belinda geführtes B&B. Das Zimmer war klein, aber das Bett und die Bettwäsche war sehr bequem und angenehm. Ich hatte Zimmer 2 mit Fenster zum Hof, was sehr ruhig war. Auf dem Zimmer war Wasserkocher mit Tee/Kaffee. Das hervorragende „Full Cornish Breakfast“ rundete den Aufenthalt ab. Gerne wieder.

A good value stay with friendly owners
My room was a small single with en suite. Looked recently modernised and very clean. Bed comfortable and breakfast good and cooked to order. Fine for a single night stay but I would have found the room small for a longer stay. Location very convenient near town and railway station. Quiet location. Owners friendly and helpful
