Check-in was 10 a.m. We were able to arrive in Penzance before 11 a.m., drop our stuff at the hotel (1 block from the train station entrance and bus station) and get on with a full day of sightseeing right away. The breakfast options were perfect (cooked breakfast to order from wide options). They had peanut butter and Marmite. Most significant, when our tour company dumped us without warning and our phones did not work, they contacted the company (who had supposedly sent us an email we never got) and then made calls to several other transport companies to negotiate a price for a taxi (Penzance Taxis) to take us to Tintagel which is close to 2 hours' dirve, wait 2 hours and take us home for close to what we were to pay for our tour with Meneage Tours. Our hosts at Carnson House saved our holiday that day.

We could have used a larger bed, but the one we had was as advertised, so not their fault. The room was on a busy street next to a pub, so I was expecting noise, but by 9 pm it was surprisingly quiet and traffic noise was light before 7 a.m.. So, unless you wanted to sleep during the day, the room was fine.

The hospitality received from Rob and Belinda is exceptional. They always extend a warm welcome, very supportive and kind throughout the stay. The BREAKFAST was just awesome!! Due to my job I have traveled around the world and stayed in many 5-7 stars regularly, but trust me their breakfasts were just awesome beats all the star rankers... It will just melt you in a cozy yummy world... Very conveniently located just off to the station and main bus stops. Also the shops and high streets include large stores ( sainsbury's, tesco) also convenient stores like tesco express other brands are very near buy. Lots of Pubs and restaurants are just within walking paths. You can literally went there with nothing packed and get everything nearbuy, in luding your sports gears from SportsDirect in 3 min walking distance. They have also a lovely sunny small organised succulent garden for you to enjoy tea/coffee in the morning. Rooms are cozy, small but perfectly organized. We stayed there couple and a 5yers toddler - with absolute ease. Thanks to Belinda for helping us with lovely succulents tubes - which are growing well in our hanging balcony garden. The property is very well managed with love by Belinda and Rob.... Thanks a lot we will come back again...

The property is just on the main street side, hence a little traffic noise, specially when you are in the street side room in summer days keeping window open. Else no problem at all.

The breakfast was really nice. The bedroom we had was beautiful and bright. It felt like staying in the bedroom of a friend's house (but with a much better and private bathroom). Loved the clever keys. And the early checking time was so helpful after our ferry was cancelled and we had to book this last minute. The people that run this place obviously really care about it and for it.

One of the windows was a little difficult to close completely but we managed it and warmed the room up lovely with the heaters on.

The room was clean and cared for, the shower worked well and the beds were super soft and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing 🤩 and the hosts were kind and helpful, and happy to cater for dietary needs.

Given it is right next to a busy road and the railway station, it was a little noisy outside and we had to close the window at night, but obviously you can’t have it both ways and the location is super convenient for travelling.

super close to train station and bus station… the train and bus station are next to each other and this B&B is about 3/4 minuet walk away. it’s also right in the middle of the town centre, so perfect base to explore the area and also for continuing on to lands end! lots of fish/chips around the area which are open to late, which is handy. the breakfast was absolutely perfect! lovely little room and you have a menu so you can pick what you would like to each- I have the breakfast and my niece had some chocolate spread on toast. plenty of orange and apple juice also.

We liked the warm welcome. The location including a laundromat on the corner. We walked to Mousehole and caught the bus back. We wondered down to the harbour. We found a park by following Rob’s instructions. While having the delicious breakfast we returned to our room which had been serviced. We really enjoyed our stay.

We liked everything.

Closeness to the Isles of Scilly parking and walking distance to the town centre and restaurants. Comfortable bed and usefulness shower. Host served us breakfast earlier than their normal time to allow for our early morning departure. Decent value for money.

No parking at the property, but dependent on nearby availability. Wash basin a little cramped within the shower room.

This is a fabulous place to stay! So close to the train station, bus interchange and main street, but no noise from any of them. Belinda & Rob are excellent hosts, and looked after us really well. Breakfasts were perfectly cooked and delicious. Rooms were serviced daily, which was a pleasant surprise.

I stayed at the Carson House Penzance for a one night stop over My stay was very comfortable and it is very handy for the train and bus station which are just round the corner a 2 minute walk. Staff very pleasant and the breakfast is very nice with a selection on offer I opted for the traditional breakfast which was very nicely served with a smile. If you want a pleasent stay you could do a lot worse than the Carson House for the money.

We booked for a family and have been impressed we have been given a very comfortable and spacious room with a double bed and a single bed to accommodate us couple and my 2yr old child. We were well provided in such way but it did not stop there. The service and included breakfast was very impressive. Rob and Belinda were very approachable and superb. They made the whole time we were there very homely. Would definitely consider staying again with them.
