What al lovely place. Sophia's B&B gives us a wonderful home for 4 unforgettable days in Penwith. Our Host Lynn told us the best places to go (Helford, Mousehole, Cape Cornwall, etc.), cooked superb fish for us and served the best english/greek breakfast!!! We recommend this place warmly and we come back for sure.

Sophia's is lovely. We had a bright, spacious room overlooking the promenade and the sea. Breakfasts were fantastic, I had haloumi, tomatoes and a poached egg. Sophis served us her own homemade marmalade. Sophia made a great recommendation for fish & chips: Lewis' Fish & Chips. It was about a 10-minute walk from Sophia's and it was really good.

Sophia's B & B was absolutely wonderful. It is right on the Promenade, where you can walk everywhere, and is impeccably furnished in each room. Very modern bathroom and great shower, incredibly comfortable and luxurious bed, and Lynn's breakfast was delicious. Lynn was a terrific host, and told us of a wonderful restaurant to eat dinner, as well as a... More

Lovely room, great views from the front to watch the world go by, would highly recommend this płace to couples wanting a nice base to explore penzance and surrounding area. The owner was very nice and the breakfast of a good standard, no doubt there are cheaper places but this one is worth every penny.

My wife and I recently visited Sophia's B & B on the promenade in Penzance. We had eaten there on numerous occasions over the best part of the last five years or more - whenever we were in the area. This time we decided to stay in one of the B & B rooms also. We can honestly say that... More

Lovely menu, both... More

Sophias was really wonderful. Couldn't be in a better position, the view was to die for. Lyn our host was warm and welcoming. She made us a coffee and biscuits on arrival. The room was large and soooo comfortable. Great bed. Also the bathroom was very swish. Would have like to stay longer, but we were on a tight schedule.... More

My husband and I spent two nights here in one of the lovely upstairs rooms with sea views. The room was spacious, airy, and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and the shower in our ensuite was a big walk in one with gorgeous water pressure (whereas other places we have stayed in the UK have showers that give only a... More
