We felt very welcome by Matt the new German owner. He was always helpful when we had questions. He served the breakfast every morning with a smile and the cook did a lovely cooked breakfast which was very fresh. Room 1 was a lovely double room with plenty of room to move about and have suitcases out of the way.... More

As we were depending on public transport to move around Cornwall, we chose Cornerways Guest House for our three nights in Penzance in May. The train & bus stations are only a short walk away and the guesthouse is conveniently located near the main shopping street. We were able to take all the trips we planned for using Penzance as...

My mum and I stayed in a double room for a night this April. It was cozy, warm, and very convenient for transit access. Andrea was a doll in helping us sort our train connections and kindly kept our bag for us before we moved onto Newquay. Would recommend!

Just as well I left the cat at home as this was the smallest room I have ever slept in. Beside the single bed was the only floor space, just a 6ft x 7ft triangle. Part of this was taken up by an open-fronted wardrobe and a chair. To one side was a small en-suite containing a shower, small wash... More

I used Cornerways as a base for walking around the Coast Path on the wonderful Lands' End peninsular. Andrea and John were very warm and welcoming and were genuinely happy to have a solo booking - not always the case at a lot of B&B's! The room was plenty big enough and was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very... More

We stayed a full week at Cornerways in August 2010, and would definitely return. Andrea and John are warm and conscientious hosts. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The breakfasts are tasty and substantial; and the location is fantastic -- a block from the high street and only a 2-minute walk to the rail or bus station. Overall, Cornerways... More

Stayed at Cornerways for 3 nights about mid/late October 2010 as a solo backpacker. Excellent location near the Penzance railway station; the cluster of houses were about 5 minutes up a gentle slope, which posed no problem at all even with my 29 inch roll-about suitcase. Premises were cozy and inviting, and housekeeping was meticulous. My single room (Room 4... More
