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. It is also a very short walk to the main shopping street. The room was clean and comfortable and had a few nice touches such as complimentary toiletries and... More

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!

We stayed at cornerways for 3 nights in a lovely twin bedroom. The place is litrerally 2 mins walk from the station, but still in a very quiet and nice location. Matt Martens is a fantastic host and an even better cook. Highly recommended!

I found the Corneyways to be a wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly.

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
