    comfortable bed
    helpful hosts
    great breakfast
    limited parking
    cramped wash basin

    Carnson House Bed & Breakfast was a pleasant stay during my recent work trip. The location is ideal, being just a short walk from the town center, making it convenient for both meetings and dining options. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and I appreciated the useful shower facilities. The hosts were accommodating, serving breakfast earlier than usual to accommodate my early departure, and the food was well-prepared and filling.

    Parking availability is limited, and the wash basin was cramped.

    Located conveniently near transport links, this place offers a comfortable stay with tidy rooms and friendly staff. Breakfasts were particularly enjoyable, featuring organic products that added a nice touch.

    convenient location

    Just an ideal choice for a whistle-stop in Penzance with value for price. The room had tea and coffee making facilities, which were okay. Make sure to ask for breakfast options if your schedule is tight.
