We had a wonderful time, The views and location were stunning. Simon met us when we arrived and was very welcoming ( he had also left us some tasty flapjacks),, he was going away then and so we were looked after by Oksana, who was so friendly and helpful, and made us a delicious breakfast each morning. The room was clean and cosy, with everything you could ask for, the bed and pillows were so comfortable. We had parking right outside the house, and despite the street being very narrow and steep, my partner was able to get his van there and parked. It felt like a real home from home, and we were sad to leave.

The only negative part was having to leave.

The location is great being just a few metres from the centre of Looe with a range of places to eat to suit all tastes and budgets. The room was comfortable and a magnificent view. It was not warm enough to sit on the balcony but I can imagine doing that on a summer evening. The bed was comfortable. Clearly a lot of thought had been put into ensuring guests stays were enjoyable. The information folder listing numbers of local restaurants was useful. The flap Jack's were a delicious welcome surprise on our arrival. The breakfast was delicious and filling. The pre-arrival information was really useful. There is parking outside the house. The host, Simon, was friendly and helpful. I recommend people stay at Penwyn.

The property is situated on a narrow hill. Arriving in the dark made it feel even narrower. However watching a transit van go up and down the hill proved it was wider than it initially felt. Cornwall is full of narrow lanes! The walk back to Penwyn is via a very steep hill - but this helps walk off the big breakfast.

The view from the room was exceptional covering the estuary and harbour area. We spent some relaxing time watching the world go by. The breakfast was freshly made by Simon the host. The location was perfect to be able to walk in to the centre of Looe.

The parking outside was limited but alternative parking a few minutes away was perfect for us. The bed was comfortable but a standard double which was a bit small for us but the room could easily take a King which would afford more comfort.

We loved everything! Simon was a wonderful host, cooked a fab bfast, couldn't ask for more, such a wonderful, immaculate room with amazing views and best location, few mins walk to shops, restaurants and water sports, it is on a narrow road on a hill which is why the view is spectacular, I have a big car and parked with no problem at all in one of the two spaces available right outside the property. I would definitely recommend penwyn and will definitely go back for another visit in the future, thanks for a beautiful weekend!

Nothing at all to not like, everything spot on and perfect!

Lovely room with balcony giving superb views over Looe and the river. Bed comfortable and all facilities in the room as expected plus free flapjack ! Host a lovely guy, welcoming but unobtrusive. Excellent communication prior to arrival regarding directions, parking, local restaurants. Breakfast superb and other options provided if required Location just 100 metres from the town centre but in a quiet spot. Steep hill to the property might be an issue for some

Nothing really

I’ve been visiting Looe for many years and I have to say this is by far the best B&B that I have stayed in. Simon was a great guy very helpful even carried our bags to the car at the end of our stay nothing was too much trouble. He cooked an amazing breakfast and also left homemade flapjacks in our room on arrival lovely touch. I wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely return on my next visit to Looe. Everything was 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

Nothing

We liked the room, our host Simon was friendly and asked was there anything we needed etc. Very relaxed atmosphere, and we felt at home. Good value for money.

If I were to look for anything negative, it would be difficult. Maybe one downside is the steepness of the hill location. To be fair Simon did point out this to us.in advance. An easy walk to the centre of town....but several stops needed on way back.

We had an exceptional stay at Penwyn with Simon and the lovely Oksana looking after us. We didn't want to leave! The room was great with everything you need and more with beautiful views across Looe. You could spend your whole holiday just looking at that view. The breakfast was also delicious! Loved how close it is to the centre, a couple of mins walk down the hill and you're in the heart of East Looe. Didn't get chance to say bye to Poppy and the friendly cat ha ha. Loved chatting with Simon and Oksana, we will be back once we've saved up again!

Struggled parking outside the b and b, Barbican Hill is steep and narrow but we we're able to use car park at the top of hill a minute walk away (no cost). Penwyn give you directions to this, no problems parking here.

Location is fabulous for no more than a 4 minute walk to East Looe Beach. Just a 2 minute walk to the centre of Looe town itself. Free parking was offered and taken at a nearby property also on the same street of Barbican Hill, which was less than a 60 second walk away. The car park was substantial and allowed plenty of space for my large 5-door car to safely park, turn round and avoid using the narrow streets of Looe. We stayed in the Upstairs bedroom on the first floor with superb panoramic views of Looe Harbour. It was a large room with large opening windows allowing a cooling breeze. The room was spotless and well appointed including Netflix on the flat screen tv, a small fridge, tea/coffee facilities and a separate bathroom with wonderful power shower. Definitely would return 100% with no hesitation whatsoever!!!

I struggle to think of anything I didn't like. If I was absolutely splitting hairs then the only teeny weeny blip, which didn't spoil our holiday one jot was that the one curtain by the TV was not a blackout type, meaning light would come through early in the morning. Hardly worth mentioning.

Simon is an excellent host and this B and B is first class. Homemade cookies were left in our room on arrival which was a nice touch. The breakfast options are vast and Simon is very accommodating in terms of time and what is on offer. The views from the ground floor room (with balcony) are superb. You can watch the world go by (from a distance) from this room. Located on Barbican hill, this b and b is close to numerous pubs and restaurants in East Looe. Parking is just outside the b and b, however there was also parking available at the top of the hill which Simon allowed us to use which was kind.

Everything was great.
