Carnson House

I loved it. Amenities were more than I expected.Had a good sleep . Wished to stay longer.

Really enjoyed my stay at Carnson House when visiting Cornwall last week. Room was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Excellent full Cornish breakfast included in the price. Convenient for Penzance train and bus stations. Good to meet Rob and Belinda, the very pleasant proprietors. Will certainly return when back in the area.

Felt the need to post a review after reading some of the previous comments. We stayed here for one night before travelling to the Isles of Scilly. We arrived by train and the location could not be more convenient for both the station and the ferry. The town centre is also easily accessible and coastal walks in either direction are on your doorstep. Our room wasn’t large but was spotlessly clean and had everything you need. Bed was comfy and shower hot. Tea and coffee making facilities provided. It is on a busy main road but we knew this before we booked and actually found it quieter than expected. It certainly didn’t affect our sleep. The pub next door was no problem either. The price was considerably cheaper than the Premier Inn down the road and included an excellent cooked breakfast. Some people must be extremely hard to please! We shall look forward to staying again.

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 **** 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.

Good breakfasts with range of choices. Owner very helpful in holding our luggage after checkout until later that day

Breakfast options were very good and plentiful. Room was clean and secure.

The owner promptly explained how we could check in late and that worked. Excellent breakfast and helpful advice on travelling to Scilly Isles.

Noisy room in a busy street opposite the back of Penzance train station. First impressions from outside not great, the room was clean and bed comfortable enough to get sleep when not disturbed by noisy traffic due to the main road. The door to room 3 slammed loud so we had to hold it until closed so we didn't disturb other guests, we also heard another door slam loudly. The sliding door to the washroom was not secure enough, it was hanging from a top rail and loose at the bottom so not very private as there is a large gap. The initial welcome could have been more friendly, we felt we were lectured on what we could not do as opposed to what was available to us, minimum effort. Service with a smile was lacking! On a positive, the breakfast was freshly cooked and served nicely (although my requested hard boil eggs were soft but I ate them to be polite). The breakfast area was pleasant, comfortable and clean. Overall, we felt the price we paid did not reflect the quality of the stay.

Carnson House is a clean, cozy property just footsteps away from the train and bus stations. The proprietors are welcoming and the breakfast is excellent!
