We walked in off the street just as it started to rain (!) and we were welcomed by Grif, the dog, as though we were long lost friends! My daughter and I had a wonderful 3-day stay and Ed was extremely helpful as we didn't have a car. He was an excellent guide and seemed to know everyone and everything.... More

My wife and I have been travelling bit by bit around the southern coast of England. Penrose B+ B in our opinion is the best B+B we have stayed in to date. Penrose is owned and run by Big Ed who is also a very talented musician and his equally talented wife Sian, who is a local artist. Some of... More

Hubby booked us here for an anniversary weekend and what a good find. The Penrose is lovely and clean, just at the top of the village. Our room had a gorgeous view, the breakfast choices were wide and the cooking phenomenal. And Ted was kind enough to drop hubby and I off at a place or two (as there were... More

I/we have always wanted to visit Port Isaac and decided to do this in Nov. Eddie and Sian were good hosts and kindly let us park on their drive way past checking out time when we wanted to go into the main town to have a roam around. If I/we ever return to PI again we will certainly try and... More

We spent a wonderful two days here and just loved it. Our Host Ed picked us up from Clovelly and gave us a tour of all the scenic places on our way back to Port Isaac. As if that was not enough we were invited to join him and go to his band's gig the first night. I said only... More

The hosts were friendly and welcoming, despite having us foisted on them at the last minute, our original choice of B&B having obviously double-booked – but we’ll not name and shame... Penrose is easy to find, and it was good to have ample off-road parking, for Port Isaac is not the place to go sight-seeing by car. Our room was... More

We arrived at Penrose late in the day, having not booked anywhere and finding that most places were closed for the winter. Despite having been away themselves, the owners welcomed our rather large and noisy brood and could not have been more hospitable. The rooms were lovely...our girls had an ensuite room to themselves, my husband and I had an... More

Room was very clean and quite big. There is no shower in the room, which was a bit of suprise in a new built-house as such, running batth evey day was just too much effort and too waste of time Our room was at the ground floor, kichen is at the first floor which just above our room. Every morning... More

I am sorry this couple were not happy. They were double booked elsewhere in August and we happened to have a room free that day. They arrived, understandably in a terrible mood and took it out on us. If they had asked they could have had a room with a shower. The Gentleman ordered breakfast for both and they were... More
