Situated 300 yards from the shores of Mount’s Bay, The Pendennis Guest House is 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Penzance. From the beach, guests can admire the picturesque St. Michael’s Mount. St. Ives, famous for its art and history, is 10 miles away, on the coast of the Celtic Sea.

This property is run by a very wonderful and friendly couple, Richard and Sarah. Breakfast was fantastic because Richard has culinary skills of a chef. Sarah is constantly making sure the guests are all well attended to and the entire wall of cereal, milk, juices, bread etc is evidence of the generous spread. We tried the full English Breakfast, Egg Benedict and Egg Royale. They were excellent. The rooms were spacious with nice clean sheets and towels.

Built in the 1830's, this charming Regency guest house features sea views, a free private car park and Wi-Fi.

Served daily in the elegant dining room, the breakfast menu includes traditional English breakfasts, Vegetarian breakfasts, Smoked Salmon, Eggs Benedict and Pancakes.

Perfectly clean room. White bed linen. Quiet place where I could catch-up on my sleep in a fantastic comfortable warm bed. High quality breakfast freshly prepared. Welcoming friendly polite hosts. Seafront location. The guest house was spotlessly clean and I felt at home. I will definitely stay at Warwick House on my future trips to Penzance. I had a wonderful time.

    My 3rd stay at The Pendennis so I must like it here! The ownership has changed since my last visit several years ago but the experience was as good as ever. Great location in a quiet street, and a comfy, cosy and homely house. The room was immaculate and the breakfasts were absolutely superb. Richard and Sarah are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. If the previous owners Russell and Hazel read this, fear not, The Pendennis is in VERY safe hands. I will be back!

    I loved the cosiness and attention to detail - Louisa was a great hostess and even provided some eggs for breakfast from her precious chickens! It was a gorgeous, clean and inviting place - the perfect home away from home for a solo traveller. I liked that I could explore the immediate surroundings and come back for lunch to save myself a few bob! it was also a great location for the Minnack theatre and the sculpture gardens - Louisa gave me some great tips and ides for excursions and explorations. I had a fabulous time.
