Quiet neighbourhood, nice and clean rooms, decent bathroom, good breakfast, and superb service. The host drove us to the Scillonian in the morning, free of charge. Free wifi in the room. Loved the duvet, I detest the normal English envelope bed linen. Fifteen minutes walk into town.

The building is not new, there's no lift upstairs, the floor squeks a bit, but we have nothing... More

Stayed at the Torwood on recommendation of friends and glad we did. Great value for they money, excellent breakfast choices included. Room is clean and well kept. Lynda is a gracious host, as is Steve. Would not hesitate to stay again unless we end up self-catering (ie. if we stay for a full week) next time. Note to travelers who... More

Stayed overnight at Torwood on 20 July 2011. We were given a room on the ground floor saving us the energy to scale the steps to the rooms located on the higher floor. We appreciated that very much. The room was big and very comfortable; fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. Breakfast served was prefect to the order. The... More

Lynda & Steve not only make you feel at home, they are extremely knowledgeable of the local areas which is just as well since the local tourism office has been forced to close. Easy to find and within 15 minutes walk of all of your needs in Penzance. Pleasant well appointed rooms make this an affordable and welcome stay.

Came down mid week to watch rugby and stayed until Sunday am. Room was no.10, large,comfy bed, plenty of extras, upto date tv, bathroom spotless. Breakfast was excellent, everything you could ask for. Mine hosts were very approachable and full of local knowledge. Location ideal for everything, set in a very safe area with good off road parking

Lynda is a great hostess and she did everything she could to make our stay pleasant. If we return to Penzance we would choose this B&B again! The rooms are big and they are cleaned every day. We travelled with a 6 months old baby and she supplied a high chair at breakfast and a cot for him to sleep... More
