Great little B&B in Penzance. Easy walk from train (even with heavy luggage). Very clean and neat with a very pleasant host. Matt was very easy to talk to and nothing was a problem. Breakfast terrific and beds very comfortable. Free Wi-Fi a bonus. Great Stay, our friends and ourselves, HIGHLY recommend:)

I stayed at this B+B at the end of May 2013. I found the host to be one of the most accommodating individuals I have ever had the pleasure of paying! I thought I had had a couple of slightly odd requests......I needed to store my bike in a safe location and I needed to leave early the next morning.... More

A really clean B &B, very professionally run in a pleasant and courteous manner by both owner and staff. The rooms may not be large, but it is a B&B, not a luxury hotel, and the rooms are fully equipped and well laid out, with all the usual provisions, and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was cooked to a high standard,... More

My wife and I stayed at Cornerways in early April. Mr Martens made us feel very much at home just as he had done when I stayed there with two friends a year ago when we were at the end of a John O'Groats to Land's End cycle ride. On that occasion we found that he had taken over the... More

Great location - Less than 5 minutes walk from the station, harbour, main bus station Friendly service - Matt's hospitality throughout the stay was top class (Travel tips, restaurant tips and even Easter Eggs) Value for Money - 35 pounds per night including breakfast - it cannot get better than that Fantastic Rooms - clean, spacious, well-stocked with complimentary toiletries...

On a cold and bleak december evening, and just a minute or 2 away from Penzance rail station, Matt gave us a very warm welcome at a very cosy place. We've not stayed at a B& B for a while, but this place was very pleasant surprise. Its very clean and the breakfasts were great. Matt was a pleasure to... More

Cornerways met and in fact far exceeded my expectations which had been generated by the description on its website. As a guest house it sets a very high standard. I spent three nights there at the end of September. Its location really was only a three minute walk from the coach and train station on a quiet side street. Absolutely... More

I had a very enjoyable stay at Cornerways. The location was ideal as I arrived in Penzance by train and the guest house is less than 2 minutes away on foot.

Cornerways was my first stop on my 500 mile cycle ride for Leukaemia. Matt, the owner was very accommodating with a late check in, provided somewhere for me to store my bike, helped me with an evening snack and to get comfortable quickly for a great nights sleep. Breakfast was phenomenal! Great value for money and a quaint building!
