    Green fire alarm light shining in our eyes during the night, extremely bright! Toilet seat loose and finish on it peeling. Window frames dirty. No soap on wash basin in ensuite. Blind damaged in ensuite and lighting cord broken, no acorn. Carpet in the stairs area very dirty. Generally, it's a good clean and some tlc needed.

    Good size rooms, drawer space excellent, and bed. Quiet location. Great TV 's.

    Stayed in the twin room with my daughter as we were down for a tennis tournament. In arrival the staff were a little under trained sadly (which could be improved) but were satisfied with the B&B. In fact its a lovely place! The room was extremely well kept and lovely. The breakfast was superb! The only negative is the water pressure from the shower. It really needs vast improvement and is the only thing, along with the staff who lacked personality and warmth, that stopped me from giving this lovely B&B a 10 out of 10.

    Main meals were not great. The experience with the broken bed was unfortunate. For the price paid it did not feel like value for money.

    The location was good and the family room was nice. The second room had a broken bed, which the staff managed to replace, although it was clear the issue had been raised by previous guests. Breakfast was good.

    A nice place to stay if walking isn't a problem
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The towels didn't smell super fresh so we didn't use them and there weren't any toiletries (e.g., shampoo, shower gel etc.) but I guess it was a bed and breakfast so facilities shouldn't be fully expected. Part of the 25-min walk to the centre of Penzance is on roads so didn't feel the safest but all cars were driving pretty carefully

    While there's a 25-min walk from The Coldstreamer to the centre of Penzance, the location was very quiet and the distance wouldn't have been a problem if people are driving. The breakfast was really good, more tasty than the full breakfast you get from Central London. Would recommend for families and couples looking for a relaxed holiday

    Everything. It was looking very tired, the sign on the front had half fallen off, the window frames were rotting and we had to enter and leave via a drab rear fire exit. The rooms were very basic, cheaply furnished and the bed was very soft and uncomfortable. Bed linen was old and worn. The bathroom door didn’t close properly. There was just one bottle of economy liquid soap in the bathroom. The room smelt dusty. We didn’t see the host. He contacted us earlier to say there was a problem with the kitchen so we couldn’t eat in or have breakfast. He offered a refund, but none has been forthcoming in spite of my reminding him. Overall the property was very rundown and not in a fit state to be accepting guests.

    Nothing.

    The staff weren't helpful had a few sentences about were room was and breakfast times when stated we wouldn't be there for breakfast as leaving at 5am got told to be quiet and use first escape as there is no staff on site once pub shuts so if you need anything during the night your left to fend for yourself. Thought as we weren't there for breakfast they may of offered a slight refund or maybe a evening meal in exchange but nothing we went into Penzance for a meal because we didn't get told the pub does food only found out when got back. There was no hot water in the shower there were two extension leads as power supply had to put kettle on floor to connect to power supply. It was clean but even had to ask for cups to make coffee in very poor housekeeping definitely not worth the £133 for the one night with no breakfast.

    The only thing I liked room was clean.

    The interior is very run down and lacks any ambiance. We booked for 3 nights but decided to stay for just two. Breakfast was painfully slow and the staff member serving that morning didn’t have any idea of Customer service. I don’t blame her it’s the management that should see what is going on in their business and give their staff training and at the same time spend some money on the place so people want to stay there.

    The location was good for what we wanted to do.
