I booked at Elmsdale at the last minute because of its proximity to David Lay's Auctions. No idea what I would find. I was delighted. A lovingly decorated and upgraded spacious Victorian house with a spacious en suite room. The bed was superbly comfortable and the shower was large with plenty of hot-water. Glenis could not have been more welcoming... More

Dick and Glenis are very welcoming hosts, and the B&B is conveniently placed for exploring Penzance or going to the Scilly ferry. The room is comfortable and the bathroom had a super bath - quite a treat in a B&B. Real milk was provided in a small fridge for use in our room. We had two nights, on our way... More

Really great welcoming B & B. Great room and owners very helpful, the weather was dreadful and Dick very kindly gave me a lift to the station on my departure which was really helpful. The room was very comfortable, lots of hot water and plenty of choice for breakfast. The B & B is situated in a really good position... More

A great little B&B. A short walk from Penzance town centre. Lovely room. The owner was very helpful. Lots of choice at breakfast. Parking available on street and it felt safe to leave the car there. Good location for exploring the rest of south Cornwall. Would stay again when exploring the area.

I booked this B&B for one night, but wished I could stay longer. Host was friendly without being too friendly, happy to offer advice/info on the area. Room was very nicely/freshly decorated, with comfortable bed, bathroom modern and nice. I had a room at the rear of the property, which was very quiet. The use of a fridge on the... More

Our group was due to fly out to the Scilly Isles last Monday but at the last minute all flights were cancelled due to fog! We were taken to the "Elmsdale" for an overnight stay before sailing the next morning on The Scillonian. We had a great welcome from Glenis and Dick (who kindly humped all the suitcases to our...

We felt really home in this beautiful environment near to the centre of Penzance. The guesthouse has been renovated with love for the historical details and with a good taste for accomodation. Dick and Glenis were excellent hosts. And they gave more than a perfect B&B-Breakfast. We had nice conversations on interesting topics. Dick gave us a lot of tips... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Elmsdale due to a wedding we were attending locally. Dick was a great host, very informative and friendly. Our room was clean, spacious and well equipped. My only slight negative is that we have a huge room but only a double bed, but I suspect we noticed this more because we have a superking... More

Pleasant welcome, bright clean spacious room, breakfast consisted of a good choice of well presented, plentiful food. Good location for exploring local attractions including st. Ives, Lands End and st. Michaels Mount. Parking was not an issue, would recommend.
