We enjoyed our stay. The room was warm, comfortable and clean. An ideal location for exploring Penzance. Sally and Alan were lovely hosts and we will definitely be looking to stay again.
Great place to stay. Has everything you need nearby and great transport links to St Ives and Minack Theatre/Lands End. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay their again.
Alan met us with a smile when we arrived, very helpful. The room was clean, well serviced and comfortable, stayed 2 nights before catching the ferry to IOS would definitely book again.
We had an enjoyable overnight stay before we caught the ferry to the Scilly Isles. The room wasn't huge but it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were friendly and helpful.
Cosy little room on the top floor. Comfortable and met my needs perfectly. Located just a street back from the promenade, and handy to town, supermarket, and a walk along the seafront.
The Chiverton was spot on, clean and comfortable with everything on hand. The house is very close to Penzance promenade so excellent for walks by the sea and to get into town.
A guest house located in a lovely old house 10 minutes walk from the centre.
We had a room at the back, which was comfortable enough, but was a little small for us given we had luggage for 2 weeks.
Shower was excellent
Excellent, comfortable accommodation, superbly managed by welcoming, considerate hosts. Moved us to a lower floor than planned when learning of a mobility issue. Would highly recommend this property.
We had a very nice experience at Chiverton. The host is really good. The stay is 15 mins stay from the centre, bus and train station. We can reach thr by walking alongside the beach. Worth for the money with all the essential facilities including a small fidge. Definitely visiting again...
Alan is a great host - very helpful. Property is clean and well kept. Upgraded linens (and a new bath mat) would be an improvement. Laundromat nearby. Walkable to dining, shopping, sights, bus and train.
The top floor room I had was just perfect for my 2 night stay.
It was spotlessly clean, comfy bed, lovely linens and soft towels. A great place to come home to after a day of sightseeing.
The house is very quiet (apart from the Seagulls lol!) and you’ll receive a very warm welcome.
It’s close to the seafront and a 15 minute walk from the railway and bus station.
Tea and Coffee provided and I was thrilled to find a Gideon in the nightstand.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Nice and clean, even though this is listed as a bed & breakfast please be aware no breakfast is included.
Tea making facilities are included but would have been nice if water made available to make tea or coffee, you may need to bring your own.
The road is not busy and just a turning away from the beach.
Hosts were very nice and friendly and helpful.
Room to small, stairs to steep.
Surprised after booking no breakfast.
(Owners brilliant) Room very clean.
If l were in better shape i would definitely go again.
