Rosalie Guest House

23rd April 2024:

Comfortable room, excellent home cooked breakfast.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th April 2024:

Lots of clear information on the website. This made it easy to book and we knew what to expect. Lots of thought has gone into the facilities, for example the umbrellas (which we needed to borrow!), the torch by the front door, the step in the room, also the heater (which we did not use). Excellent variety of food at breakfast. We would recommend you without hesitation.

We ate in the Turk's Head, the Admiral Benbow and the Dolphin Tavern. We are vegetarian and found that the Dolphin Tavern had a greater range of vegetarian options.

Would Recommend: Yes

This was our 2nd stay at Rosalies for 12 nights. We always love being there. This beautiful guest house has a very special atmosphere. Liz, the owner, a very warmhearted person, makes us feel at home. Everything was perfect. After a delicious breakfast we walked only a few minutes to the sea-promenade with great view. What an amazing Cornish coastline, so many beautiful impressions. Breathtaking! We really can`t wait to come back next year. Monika and Alexander from Vienna, Austria

Would Recommend: Yes

Dear Monika - you really are so kind it is always a pleasure to see you both and thank you for your delightful Christmas Card. Happy New Year. Liz x

16th October 2023:

Friendly welcome upon arrival, a map of the area and everything we needed. The room was very clean and had everything we needed a plus for us was that the bed was very comfortable. Cooked breakfast in the morning but also had a great selection of cereals and fruit. Location it was in the perfect place all the local things where within walking distance. Hosts where lovely talkative and helpful to the local area.

Its in a great location 11 minutes from st michaels mount and 20 minutes from lands end. The town itself is lovely and a must to walk around. If you love a sunrise this is in a perfect location with only a 5 minute walk to the beach. We tried the pirate inn a 10 minute walk, a beautiful Cornish pub with proper pub food and a great atmosphere

Would Recommend: Yes

26th September 2023:

24th September 2023:

We had a lovely stay. Room was comfortable and very clean. It had a tv with dvd, coffee making facilities and own bathroom with shower.The breakfast you had a choice of and was lovely and freshly cooked. The staff were very polite and friendly. The front was only 2 mins walk. All in all yes i would recommend this guest house.

There was loads of places to see and do. St Michael Mount about mile and half away. You could go to St Ives or lands end. Plenty of restaurants, English, Chinese, Indian. Plenty of fish and chip shops. You can go out on boat rides. There was loads of souvenir shops. Town centre only 15 min walk along the front.

Rosalie guest house is a great choice for accommodation. We were well received and got good advice about sights and getting around. The lady of the house is a very friendly and warm person. We fell in love with this accommodation very much.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2023:

A friendly, clean and comfortable base for exploring the local area and such a change from the impersonal budget hotel stay with standard buffet breakfast. Here, a freshly prepared breakfast of your choice makes a good start to the day. Access to a fridge and microwave could well be a bonus for you.

A short walk to the centre/station/bus station and access to a good number of routes to surrounding sights, towns and villages (If you use the Tin Coaster bus back from the route via Land's End. there is a stop close to the seaward end of the road and, if going to Mousehole, the bus will pick up close to the other end by health centre). Try The Dolphin in Penzance or Mackerel Sky in Newlyn. St Michael's Mount is a good (maybe expensive) visit but, having seen some visitors with problems, you need to be good on your feet or at least not try to go to the top in flip flops! If you are good on your feet, consider the service bus to Pendeen and walk the stunning Coast Path to Sennen Cove (allow 5 hours) and catch the Tin Coaster for a leisurely ride home.

A great place to stay with high standards. The room/ensuite were spotless and very comfortable. The location just set back from the promenade was ideal. Local shops 5 mins walk away. Bus stops about the same. The breakfast was like a feast with lots of different offerings to set you up for a day of exploring- The cooked breakfast was a real treat with quality ingredients. Liz was a super 'Landlady' who clearly takes considerable pride in her establishment. She is also the font of knowledge when it comes to buses, cabs and other important organisational things.

Lize is really friendly and the location great, max 10min on foot to the promenade of Penzance. Giving access to towns around easy on foot or driving around by the A30. The room is cosy and confortable with an amazing breakfast. We had a really great time.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2023:

A lovely guest house in a beautiful English house. Very homely feel. Great hospitality and loved the breakfast!

We loved the walk to Saint Michael’s Mount and would like to walk the South West Coast Path in the future to Land’s End or St. Ives. Mousehole is a cute village nearby and worth the visit. For vegetarian meals, we would recommend The Boat Shed for dinner and The Honey Pot for lunch.

8th June 2023:

The House is truly more "British" than any of the other places I stayed in my 3 weeks in England. So pretty and idyllic. My impression of Liz the host is as a motherly, benign figure. She cooks wonderful, custom-ordered breakfast, and dutifully cleans up our room. When one of us fell, she did her best to do an emergency bandage, and gave us a walking stick for free to use. We were so touched by her sincerity and kindness. She inspired us to open a guesthouse in future (just a dream for now).

Recommend this highly. So pretty and so warm.

Go to Marazion and the Mount. BUT book tickets for the Mount in advance. Personally I enjoyed wandering around the alleys, parks and paths of Penzance. The Orangery in Penlee Park is good.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th May 2023:

Liz was very helpful. The booklet in the room was very useful and we had some lovely meals at the places recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th April 2023:

My partner and I recently stayed at Penzance and we had a fantastic time! The location was perfect. Our host Liz was extremely welcoming and accommodating, and her attention to detail really made our stay extra special. Her warm personality and genuine care for her guests really made us feel at home. The breakfast each morning was a real highlight of our stay. Liz served up a delicious and hearty breakfast with a range of options to suit everyone's tastes. Overall, we had an amazing stay at Penzance and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore west Cornwall. We can't wait to return!

If you are taking a bus to explore during non-season, start exploring from St Ives, as the other route gets busy. Loved Tajmahal for Indian food and Turks Head!

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2022:

Extremely helpful and welcoming. Good hearty breakfast and comfortable good sized room The only suggestion I would make was that it would be good to have some body wash for the shower. I was expecting this so didn't bring any. On the whole though I have a really good stay. 😊

The community cinema at Newlyn is worth a visit, as is the geothermal pool.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi and thank you for your amazing review. Sorry I forgot to mention we do provide shampoo/shower gel in dispensers under the front desk so guests can help themselves.

Great place for walking, going to the pubs, sight seeing. The Penlee House is very interesting if you like history, specifically the fishing life around the area. Food is great where ever you go in Penzance, we didn't have a bad meal. The Rock Pool cafe in Mousehole is a lovely cafe, with fantastic views.

Excellent stay at this lovely guest house. Room was always clean and tidy. Only minutes from the beach. Breakfast was delicious and Liz even did us a packed lunch one morning when we had to leave early. She also gave us great advice about where to go and about booking up places in advance to make sure we got to do all the things we wanted to on our holiday. Chris was really nice too. Couldn't ask for a nicer couple. Thank you for a perfect holiday. Would recommend anyone to stay here.

Make sure you book places in advance like St Michaels Mount as you cant just turn up and get on the Island. Other attractions it's best to book up early too just in case.

Rosalie Guest House is a gem of a B&B. The location is great- just off the promenade and on a tree lined road with loads of free parking. The room we had (Room 3) was beautiful. Very tastefully decorated, in fact we thought newly decorated, with ample wardrobe and drawer space. The en-suite was great, with a wonderful shower. The room was cleaned daily with new towels every day. The king size bed was extremely comfortable - we slept very well over our whole stay. The breakfast provided was fabulous - a choice of everything you could want - full English, omelettes, all cooked fresh to order, continental… everything is provided and we had access to fresh milk all day every day. Our hostess Liz was amazing. Her local knowledge was brilliant helping us to get the most from our short stay in the area - it felt that nothing was too much trouble. She was a fabulous land lady x All in all, we had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend Rosalie to anyone staying in Penzance.

Marazion and a walk to St Michaels Mount, walk along the promenade to Newlyn. A quick drive or bus ride to Mousehole. Lands End is worth a look, but feels a little commercialised and expensive. Minack Theatre - especially if you can take in a show. St Ives is beautiful. The Lizard Point too. The Jubilee Pool - either to swim in (you need to book) or to people watch - nice little cafe. Great walking area We ate at The Luggers most evenings- a great menu and really friendly staff

We enjoyed staying in this B&B. Liz is a wonderful host and provided us with a great breakfast en good tips for what to do in and around Penzance. Parking is easy and it is close to the centre and to the sea. The duvet was a bit narrow for 2 people, that could be a bit larger.

Nice to walk along the coast to Mousehole, a very charming village. If you want to eat there, make reservations in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th July 2022:

Very enjoyable stay. Warm welcome, excellent breakfasts and clean,comfortable room. As I had to miss breakfast due to homeward train timing Liz made me a bacon sandwich for journey. I shall definitely be staying again.

It is possible to park the car close to the house even if there is no private parking. Good addresses for restaurants : Mackerel Sky in Newlyn and the Boatshed in Penzance.

A delightful stay. Liz was so helpful and the enjoyment of our stay was paramount in her care. A super breakfast. In addition to cereals there was fresh fruit & yoghurt. The cooked breakfast was very good but I really enjoyed the alternative which was an omelette with a choice of fillings. The third choice was a boiled egg with a choice of cheeses.

Good free parking outside which was easily available when we stayed in October. We enjoyed visiting the geothermally heated section of the swimming pool beside the sea. It was 34degrees! Bliss. The whole area around is just wonderful for visiting and walking. We enjoyed our evening meal at the newly opened Navy Inn.

Liz has tips and information that might make your stay easier, such as where to go, what to see and aids to assist you, i.e.; blanket and cushions for the Minack Theatre. She was fabulous when we needed phone numbers for a taxi to a Mead House.

We loved our stay at Rosalie Guest House and would happily stay again if we visit Penzance in the future.

We rented bikes from Penzance Cycle Hire based in the guest house across the road and they were a great way to get around! We were so pleased with how much we could see without needing a car, and being so conveniently located to Rosalie, I'd definitely recommend that guests hire bikes there.

A friendly and very welcoming place to stay, high standards of cleanliness and service throughout. It has a lot of repeat guests, and the proprietor is very knowledgeable regarding the local area. Good food and nice rooms with comfortable beds.

Plenty of local eating places in the area. The Boatshed and The Bakehouse are both excellent. The Telegraph Museum, Porthcurno, and Helton Museum are both very good. Plenty of delightful scenery in the area, but take care on rural twisting roads which can be single track and very narrow in places.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your very positive feedback especially all the tips which are a great help to future travellers.

Very convenient location for us in a clean and comfortable guest house. Charming landlady who made us delicious bacon sandwiches for our early take-away breakfast. The Covid-19 arrangements were very well thought through. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed an excellent meal at the Alverne restaurant a short walk from Rosalie Guest House.

Would Recommend: Yes

A really excellent hotel. I have already recommended you to my sister.Only reason location is 4 is slight traffic noise on Alexandra Road. Among my favourite things were: hosts (very helpful, friendly, intelligent). Kettle in room - fitted easily under tap to be refilled. Breakfasts - great selection, wonderful omelettes. Interesting paintings through the house and I found the decor of our room very pleasant - very fresh and clean but not overly modern and sterile.

I'm from West Cornwall so I'm biassed but ... you can't go wrong if you make sure you visit the coast. Very steep beech at Treen (great cliff walks), family friendly beach at Sennen. Little cove at Lamorna. Land's End is a bit of a money-making theme park - best avoid. Doing short stretches of the coast path is wonderful but beware sections can be steep or stony, need good footwear. We had a very good meal at an Italian resaurant on the front - didnt look much but the food was actually very nice. But basically just enjoy the place.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great location. Excellent breakfasts and very friendly, efficient staff.

Perfect base to explore surrounding area.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2020:

We felt the adherence to all social distancing and hygiene rules by Rosalie were very good and well organised. There was a good check-in procedure in place, the WhatsApp group was a great idea for communicating, especially regarding booking breakfasts slots. The staff were all helpful and the breakfasts were substantial. We would recommend a stay here.

The Rosalie Guest House is located slightly out of Penzance centre but walkable along the sea front to many restaurants and pubs. Penzance has some old and quirky pubs which are worth a visit including the Turks Head and Admiral Benbow. Great base for driving out to see the area and do walks along the Coastal Path. If you can co-ordinate a trip with the tide - a visit to St Michael's mount is definitely worth it.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your great comments very much appreciated.

Perfectly located with plenty of parking. Room was immaculately clean and had everything needed even a mirror positioned next to a plug and hairdryer provided! Liz and her husband were very welcoming and the breakfast was superb. We couldn’t have asked for more and we would certainly recommend Rosalie Guest House to anyone visiting Penzance

Would Recommend: Yes

The owner, Liz, was very friendly and welcoming and had good measures in place re Covid, ie hand-sanitiser before entering the property, temperature check and well spaced out breakfast tables. B&B is approx 10 minutes to the town centre and pubs and only a few minutes’ walk to the seafront. Good location and good value. Good breakfast. Room 4 a little small but quiet and comfy bed and pillows. Would recommend.

We stayed in Penzance mainly as a base to visit surrounding areas - St Michael’s Mount, Minack Theatre and Kynance Cove are all must sees! Some places were quite busy but visited Helston which is a small, quaint town and had a lovely cream tea and was quite quiet. In Penzance we enjoyed the Dolphin pub for food which was lovely and Lugger Inn on the seafront was good for a drink (sat outside) and food looked appetising.

Would Recommend: Yes

In appreciating we're trying to avoid the spread of Covid, breakfast at 8am whilst on holiday is just not on for me. It's the only time I get to relax and lie in, so for me this was a major negative

Would Recommend: No

Thank you for your feedback regarding breakfast. Now that we are established into a good routine with all the extra measures in place I have made the breakfast times later on week-ends. It has been a challenge to ensure we provide the social distancing during breakfast this is why have to provide two sittings and unfortunately if you are later checking in we can only offer the slots that are left! We hope that you still enjoyed your visit to Rosalie House

1st September 2020:

Mine and my partners stay was wonderful and enjoyable! Liz was so lovely towards us and very helpful! One morning my partner was still asleep and didn’t come down to breakfast and liz kindly offered to still make it for me to take it up to him which I thought was very thoughtful. With the circumstances of covid, liz did her very best to make sure everyone was welcome and had everything we needed.

Liz will give you a list of different places to eat and do, but whilst we were there we took a trip to lands end and at Michael’s Mount. We wanted to go for a walk around the gardens but unfortunately didn’t get round to it but it’s worth it.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you Tietia - you are very kind.

Lovely friendly landlady Liz made us feel very welcome, despite these difficult times. Liz went out of her way to make our stay pleasant and solve the problem of cancelled travel to the Scilly Isles. Lovely breakfast too - we shall certainly stay here again next time we visit Penzance.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great breakfasts and helpful staff. Shower pressure very poor though and bed was uncomfortable for us. Room 5.

Penlee Museum, Walk into Newlyn. Hourly buses just down the road all the way to Lands End- double decker so good views! Loads of good pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for staying at Rosalie House during these uncertain times. The mattress is new so probably still very firm. We will try to increase the water pressure to enhance the shower. Glad you enjoyed your breakfast. Liz

Well situated and lovely clean guesthouse. Have adapted extremely well to new coronavirus measures. We felt very safe in their hands

book restaurants well in advance as town is committed to new lockdown measures and as such limited availability for walk ins

Hi and Thank You for your review. Our location is just 10 mins walk from the town centre and 5 mins to the sea front on Alexandra Road which is the main Accommodation Road in Penzance. We are a small Friendly Family Run Guest House, not a Large Hotel with extra Services/facilities. We aim to provide a warm welcome with clean relaxing accommodation and a nourishing, healthy breakfast. Unfortunately during these uncertain times we have to social distance and therefore we cannot provide the personal touch we normally like to provide but our main most important endeavour is to keep all our guests SAFE.
