The Artist Residence Guesthouse is a fantastic place to stay. The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and chatty but remain unobtrusive so the atmosphere is relaxed. Our room, The Ben Gray was at the top of the building and had gorgeous views over the roof tops of Penzance. The bed was comfortable, the shower was amazing and the room had... More

The rooms were cleaned well and the amenities appropriate The rooms are relatively small and the bathrooms quite cramped. The area can get quite noisy with music and seagulls. This... More

My boyfriend booked this for one night as a bit of a romantic escape. The room we were given was lovely and the views were stunning. But, we managed to mis-time the stay on an evening when there was music event on. The music was very loud and didn't stop until the wee hours. In the morning the breakfast was... More

We stayed at the Artist Residence in Penzance one night last week. We had one of the top level rooms under the rooftop, with a lovely view over the roofs of Penzance down to the sea.
