Everything about this property was perfect. Mark and Lisa are wonderful hosts. They are engaging is the most lovely way. Always so so friendly and helpful with everything, from how your day went to offers of places to go depending on your personal preferences and of course the weather. Close to Newquay but without the hustle and bustle. Peaceful place to stay with the local pub “The Farmers Arms” who serve the best evening meal at the end of an exhausting day so no need to go anywhere else. The accommodation was so perfect, clean, beautiful gardens, wonderful freshly cooked breakfast great location. Everything perfect. Just try it. You will not be disappointed. Honestly this will ruin my chances of staying again because everyone will want to stay here. Best thing I can say is :- “you’ll arrive as a guests and hosts, but you will leave as best friends”

My stay wasn’t long enough

A Wonderful Stay with Mark and Lisa in Cornwall I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Mark and Lisa’s beautiful property in Cornwall, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, both Mark and Lisa were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making us feel right at home. Each morning started with a delicious cooked breakfast prepared by Lisa, which we enjoyed while looking out over their lovely garden. Such a peaceful way to begin the day. The room we stayed in was spacious, bright, and beautifully maintained, with thoughtful little touches that really made a difference. One of the standout features was the helpful information book in the room, filled with great recommendations for local places to eat and visit which was perfect for us visiting Cornwall for the first time. Everything about our stay was relaxing, warm, and memorable. I’m already looking forward to returning with my partner in the near future. Thank you, Mark and Lisa, for such a wonderful experience!

Nothing, wish we could have stayed longer

“Our stay at Penwyth House was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The house itself is beautifully maintained, blending historic charm with modern comforts, and every detail — from the cozy furnishings to the immaculate cleanliness — was thoughtfully prepared. The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the personal touches from the hosts, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend Penwyth House to anyone seeking a truly special experience.”

What a little gem, tucked away in the heart of the village but a stones throw from the bustle and beaches of Newquay and excellent placed for access to loads of great days out. Wonderfully welcoming hosts, gorgeous property, comfortable, well appointed room with a view onto the walled garden. Tucked away in the comfort of our room, we felt a million miles from the troubles of the world ,watching the jackdaws gather nesting material from the trunk of the palm growing in the lovely private garden. There is a cosy pub a stones throw away that had a warm welcome too. Breakfast was delicious, served in a small dining room with the hosts on hand cooking and chatting, they promote, and achieve, a convivial relaxed atmosphere. We loved our stay and felt that we got so much more from it than we expected. Loved the whole experience.

I am brutally honest when I review and normally bring things to the attention of the venue at the time. I do not see the point in making negative comments after the fact. I do not have a single negative about this place. They deserve to be booked out every day of the year.

We had a fantastic stay at Penwyth House in the garden room. Mark and Lisa were the best hosts and were so helpful in advising us of all the great places to see and things to do, while in Cornwall. The breakfast was amazing with a really good choice of options. I can't recommend Penwyth House enough, you receive such a warm welcome and are made feel at home. Mark and Lisa are such a lovely couple. We will definitely be booking a stay again in the future.

Our room, the Crantock Suite, was absolutely beautiful. The large freestanding bath in the window made the stay for us - and the recent addition of the wooden style blinds only added to the effect, providing a continental feel. The building and garden in its entirety was gorgeously styled and we appreciated the attention to detail throughout. Apparently we were the first guests of 2025 and our stay for Valentines was very special - we loved the rose in the vase in the bedroom touch. The breakfast was lovingly presented and tasted divine. Lastly, the hosts were warm and welcoming and made us feel very 'at home' during our stay.

Hosts Lisa & Mark made us feel most welcome . We selected Penwyth House as a location suited to our needs . It is outside central Newquay making it a very quiet B&B . We stayed 5 nights using it as a central base with which to explore Cornwall . That proved to be a wise decision as we could travel north , south or east with a drive that was no more than an one and a half hours to any destination . Breakfast was hard to fault & always had us well prepared for the day ahead .

Not much . Stairs & luggage are always a challenge but stay long enough & you only go up & down once .

It was a very nice and cosy house. I loved the kitchen. The breakfast was very special and very, very tasty. My room was large and cosy. It was cleaned every day and restocked with what was consumed. Mark and Lisa were very welcoming and gave good tips on excursions. It was about a 20 minute walk to the beach and from there you could start a cliff walk. We did not have our own car park, but there were plenty of parking spaces on the street.

We loved the clear communication prior to our stay regarding parking and access. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and styled to a high standard (as is the whole house) with gorgeous bedding and super comfy beds. We absolutely loved our cooked breakfasts and didn't want to leave each morning - the selection was fabulous and our hosts were so much fun! Recommendations were also great - the local pub for a game of pool, a snack and reading on the sofa in the evening and the relaxing walk on their doorstep - through the fields and along the coast, passing several beautiful beaches and ending at Fistral Beach - made for a lovely day out and a memorable stay in Newquay. So much thought has gone into making Penwyth House a welcoming and easy stay. We highly recommend staying here and would love to do it all again. Thanks guys! Mel & Kim

We didn't get to meet the dogs!!! Honestly, nothing at all

The house was lovely throughout, very well furnished and in a wonderful location (a short walk to the nearest beach and then another 15/20 mins into Newquay itself). Mark and Lisa are exceptional hosts and so welcoming and friendly (Mark is a font of knowledge about the area and just accept his recommendations on where to eat). If we ever go to this area again we will 100% chose Penwyth. Utterly brilliant.

Nothing, being honest there was nothing I would change.
