This place is located just outside the penzance railway station. Restaurants, pubs, Tesco, co-op and the very important bus stop is located in a very close proximity and makes it the perfect place to stay. The owners are very friendly. The breakfast they made was very good.

A really warm friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. That feeling of a traditional bed and breakfast from childhood. Two minutes from the high st , five minutes from the railway station and the bus station. Ideally placed for visiting more of Cornwall be it by rail or bus.

The rooms were very clean and had a lovely modern shower. Bed comfortable with nice quality linen and towels. The decor in the dining room was beautifully done and the breakfast just delicious - and presently so nicely.

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.

6/10 Good

Very good service, great breakfast and close to train station. Cramped rooms which were a bit outdated. Strong smell of air freshener and poor circulation. Mattress could use an upgrade.

Friendly, comfortable and convenient

Just an overnight stay between the train and the morning ferry but I’m glad I did. Very friendly and personal, early breakfast when they didn’t have to. And very good breakfast, set me up for the rough crossing. (Don’t go on an empty stomach) Quiet, comfortable bed, good shower, clean, couldn’t ask for more. 15 minutes walk to ferry, 5 from station. I hope places like this continue, it will be a sad world when we only have a premier inn as an option.

Great location close to parking and right opposite the station. Owners are a lovely couple and super friendly. Breakfast is amazing, lots of choice but the traditional full English is one of the best I’ve had

Couldn’t be better.

It was a delightful two night stay with a full Cornish breakfast. It seemed to have been renovated recently. Very clean and up to date. Location was excellent - a 3 minute walk from the train station and bus depot. Belinda and Bob were wonderful hosts. Would definitely reserve again on any future trip to Penzance. Easy to get to St Ives and Mousehole/Newlyn.

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.
