Andrew is a great host, very welcoming and eager to help you out with infos and suggestions for dinner and trips. They put their heart and soul in the breakfast, so obviously I loved it! The room was big, pretty and warm. They are also very attentive with bio&energetic stuff without being obsessed, so you always feel comfortable and learn... More

- Friendly and hospitality - Comforable rooms - Choice of different breakfasts - quiet and beautiful area, nice front view of sea - One minor disadvantage: more than 1 mile away from railway station More

This is the kind of place that you hope a B&B will be but never, ever is. And when you find it and experience it, you really appreciate it. I don't think B & B is the right term for Glencree House, it's really a guesthouse in the proper sense of the word. You are treated warmly as a guest... More

The service provided by Andrew was second to none the moment he pocked my phone up to the time we left. Extremely helpful with his comments about the local area... Your room comes with B&B and local sightseeing advisor! Value for money...! We stayed in room 3 which quite big, nice linen, toiletries, towels and bathrobe. As one other guest... More

We only stayed for two nights, but thoroughly enjoyed it. It is spotlessly clean, and Andrew and Lynsey are delightful - as is the new member of the family! A very warm and friendly reception, and great advice on where to eat, both locally and further afield. They managed to arrange for wonderful weather, so our day trip to the... More

Stayed again at very short notice at Glencree for 1 night. Again the place was spotless with Andy and Lynsey being the perfect hosts. This time we stayed in room 3 a large en suite double at the front of the building with a four poster bed. Not much else to say apart from as last time it was a... More

I stayed here for a week. LIndsay and Andrew are so friendly and helpful. Andrew is a font of local knowledge and very happy to help with trip planning and maps, books and information on the area and getting about. The breakfasts are really very very tasty. I was unwell on one day of my trip. Since I was alone... More

My husband, myself and our 2 yr old daughter have just returned from a weekend at Glencree House. Andrew and Lyndsey are the perfect hosts, incredibly accomadating and helpful from the first moment. The house is kept spotless, from the beautiful soft white towels and bedding to the furniture and fittings. We loved the fact that local produce is being... More

Wonderful hosts and a lovely place to stay in Penzance, which itself is perfectly located to see so much in Cornwall. Our room was perfect and the breakfasts and lunches were delicious and great value. I would highly recommend Glencree House without any reservations. I hope my family and I can return again soon.

I would highly recommend Glencree House as it is a great place to stay while in Penzance and is within walking distance of anything worth seeing in town. Although my room (#9) was tiny, it had all the amenities to make for a very comfortable stay. Thoughtful little touches are everywhere, from the incredibly fluffy towels and toiletries to the...
