Glenis and Dick were welcoming and helpful hosts. Our room was comfortable, charming, and very clean. The restaurants they recommended for our evening meal were excellent. They have our highest recommendation. More

I often have to spend 2 or 3 days in Penzance on business and I always choose the Elmsdale. As a single, female traveller you need somewhere you can feel completely comfortable with and this is like home from home. Dick and Glenis are lovely hosts and are extremely helpful. The last time I stayed I wasn't feeling very well... More

We booked a double bedroom for three nights over the April bank holiday. We can safely say it was our best b&b experience so far. Not only was the room very clean, cozy, comfortable and competitively priced, but what made the experience special was the warm hospitality of our hosts - Dick and Glenis. From the very first e-mail asking... More

The room is very clean and comfortable. Dick and Glenis kindly provided me a lot of help and information I need. I was lucky to find such a place to stay after hours' trail along the coast line! More

We booked a double and a twin for two nights. Our hosts were organised and helpful on the phone[ in spite of us changing our booking] and sent clear travel directions. The en suite rooms, especially the double, were very spacious and comfortable and included seating. This is an old Victorian house which is freshly decorated and furnished in an... More

During our short stay in Penzance we really enjoyed our comfortable rooms, after spending so many hours climbing cliffs between The Lizard and St. Ives. Thanks to Mr. Dick for his useful advice! We particularly enjoyed our stop at Botallack, where we shot many "dramatic" pictures! We hope to be back sooner or later! Dory, Jo, Misha and Jessy More

From the moment of making our telephone booking until the time we left the accommodation the owners were very polite and helpful. We used this B & B for one night on our way out to the Isles of Scilly and again on our return and were grateful to get a place that would take one night stays in August... More

If you like B&Bs, this is the one in Penzance to go to: Elmsdale Guest House, with the very friendly and helpful couple Glennis and Dick. The Breakfast was the best we enjoyed on Alexandra Road - we compared it with two other B&Bs. Although the standard in all of the Guest Houses is comparably high, we found Elmsdale the... More

The reason we chose Elmsdale for our 8 nights in Penzance, was the generous cancellation policy, being that we booked half a year in advance and from quite a distance. We thought, if it sucks, we can change accommodation when we get there. Well, no need for that. Elmsdale has it all! Large, very clean room, plenty of space to... More
