POSITIVELY "PENARTH"!
From the very start, an offer to help with our luggage, Andy and Lana were the epitome of a welcoming host and hostess. The "Penarth" was beautifully clean, well kept and our room was very comfortable. The breakfasts were good, freshly cooked and we found them filling. Absolutely no complaints emanate from our stay there and, additionally, we benefitted from the local knowledge which was happily passed on by Andy and Lana. Would we recommend the Penarth Guest House to others or return there ourselves in the future? The unhesitating answer to both questions is "Yes".

Brightened dismal weather
Parking not too easy to see at first , but no problem once tried . Great hosts , nothing too much trouble , even helped with reporting lost Credit Card . Bright comfortable twin room facing the main road . The only slight disappointment was with the breakfast , only cornflakes as a well known cereal , also no fried bread or hash browns with the rest of the excellent full English .

Both Andy and Lana where very welcoming, room was clean. Breakfast was great, fresh fruit salad! Not a tinned orange in sight! Poached duck egg was wonderfully cooked. Looking forward to using again!

Wonderful
I'd definitely recommend booking Penarth. We made day-before reservations and were more than pleased with our stay. Everything was ready for us in advance of our arrival. Andy and Lana were helpful in providing recommendations, information, and leaflets about the area. They're really wonderful hosts who go the extra mile to make sure everything in the house is attractive and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and the room was well-equipped. A two-minute walk to the bus stop and twenty-five to the beach, as well as the Eden Project, it is conveniently located in beautiful Cornwall. Thank you so much, Andy and Lana!

We received a very warm welcome from the owners before being shown to our room. Our room was large, immacuately decorated and very clean as was on the ensuite. In the morning, we were spoilt for choice for breakfast and high quality products were used for our full english breakfast. We would definetly visit again.

Penarth Guest House - review
Two friendly proprietors. One minor observation - at breakfast Andy, the proprietor, tended to "hover" around the guests. I'm sure that he does this to ensure that the guests get prompt service, but I think that both he and his guests would be happier if he could change this aspect of his behaviour, maybe by attending a short course in restaurant service that would help him to understand how to fix this issue.

Andy and Lana were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome indeed. The accommodation is too a high standard and spotlessly clean. Our bedroom even had a sea view.

A solicitous couple and friendly.
It was a useful and convenient stay for accessing the Eden Project and the hosts were helpful and friendly. The breakfasts were great and the room a good temperature for chilly autumn evenings. Local eateries are few and far between, especially if vegetarian, but this can be overcome with good planning! The couple have just taken over the guest house and are looking to make improvements on what they have inherited, so likely to be even better for travelers in forthcoming months!

Very relaxing
I was welcomed on arrival by Andy and Lana who had only taken over the running of the guest house 4 days previously. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a choice of cereals followed by anything from scrambled eggs through to a full English; even smoked salmon if you fancied. Altogether, highly recommended.

Felt like Fawlty Towers and made to feel unwelcome
Arrived at 2pm for check in (as stated on Expedia) but the B&B was locked with no answer at the door. We went off for lunch and came back at 3pm - still locked with no answer so called the landline/mobile numbers which were eventually answered at 3:15. The owner said he was shopping and our room wasn't ready anyway - suggested to come back at 4:30! I had to insist he came back because we needed to gain access to the room. When the owner did arrive he did not apologise - just moaned that check in has never been 2pm. I suggested he change the details on Expedia and he just grunted. We still couldn't access the room but dropped off our luggage. Made to feel completely unwelcome and we really weren't looking forward to going back later! Room itself was OK - fairly small but not unreasonably so. Small double with solid mattress. Parking wasn't great and the main road was fairly noisy. Our towels were damp from day 1 - I think he rushed making up our room. Room was never serviced so the towels were wet, coffee/tea wasn't replenished and mugs weren't cleaned. One day we returned to the B&B at about 10:30am to get changed, only to find that the owner had locked the door from the inside and left the key in the door meaning we couldn't get in. Once again we had to call and wait to be allowed back in the property. Breakfasts were nice, but service was slow and generally we felt like we were imposing and he didn't want to be serving us. Really wouldn't recommend! Fawlty Towers!!

After 7 hours journey with room booked and paperwork the proprietor had given our room to someone else. It took us 2 hours to find other accommodation at a higher cost. Who pays for the stress and disappointment plus my wife has a severe heart condition. Come on. Expedia at least respond to my complaint. Malcolm Brookes
