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.

We chose this B & B based on previous reviews and were not disappointed. Garrin, Alison and Louise were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was spotless and our room was perfect. Breakfast was delicious and we had some lovely chats afterwards. My wife has a medical issue with her eyes and this was accommodated for. Thank you. A bottle of champagne was kept in their fridge as it was our wedding anniversary. They even presented us with a box of delicious chocolates to celebrate. It is the perfect place to park. If you want to you can leave the car and catch public transport. Certainly deserves a 5 star rating.

    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.

    Lynda was absolutely amazing and so welcoming, lovely to chat too and a great host all around. We arrived early, and that was no problem at all. Our little dachshund was made welcome as well. Would stay again. Great location to town. It was easy to find a parking space, and we left the car there and walked around most of the time. Food was great with a good choice of things to have.
