The room was small and the decor terrible. Oh, and the shower cubicle was actually IN the bedroom! Surely a health and safety issue right next to an electric socket? The level of cleanliness was poor and due to the cafe downstairs, there was a lingering smell of fried food in the room. If I hadn't booked and paid through... More

On the positive side, the lady running this establishment tries to be helpful, yet uses the absence of her partner, Gary, as an excuse for problems to remain unresolved. The location could hardly be better for access to Penzance station. The town is accessible via a short walk. If a full English breakfast is your style then you will not... More

This B&B is overall quite good in my opinion. The location is very convenient, just one minute from the train station. The house owners are very nice and welcoming. I am especislly impressed by the full-day breakfast offered!! Yes, the room may be a little bit small (I lived in a single room), but I dont think it is dirty.... More

I had booked and paid on-line based on the website. My mistake was not touse Tripadvisor!! Arrived mid-afternoon to have the splendour of the Greasy Spoon. Entered the dingy corridor and shown up to our single rooms. The were clean but that was about it. Old and tired linen, very offputting "dining room", greasy unappetising breakfast menu.

The location of this B&B could not be better as it's less than 5 minutes away from the train station. The room I had on the whole was comfortable, and looked like some effort had been made to update it. Breakfast was excellent and I could not eat all of it, my eyes where bigger than my belly.

Given the generally terrible reviews, it is only fair I start with some positives from my two-day stay at Whiteways. 1) The location was ideal as I was catching an early train on departure. Literally less than a 30-second walk to the train and coach station, the docks are a further 30 seconds, and the town centre 30 seconds the... More

Smelly. Dirty. Stuffy. Suffocating. Noisy. Don't go there under any circumstances! The proprietors weren't there when we arrived (I would bet my head this is a technique they have developed over the years, so horrified people cannot complain straight away), as soon as we were left alone by a hurried lady in charge only to give us the key, we...
