Chiverton House

Thanks for looking after me

Very easy to find; friendly, helpful proprietor; good sized room. Just right for our needs :)

Easy check in and checkout. Room was ideal for me and my 7 year old for a couple of nights. Not too far walk from the train station, about 15 minutes. Parking quite tricky but possible if you keep going round until you find a space. The owner’s instructions were very clear, we didn’t even meet them over the two days but got in and out fine.

Fantastic location. Clean. Friendly. Fridge in room. Big family room. Promenade 1 minute walk. Good local amenities. Quiet. Comfortable.

I wouldn’t have booked if I had known breakfast isn’t served here. Better places including breakfast at a lower price than Chiverton house Wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend They don’t respond to emails either.

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.

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...

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.

Everything was good, well organised, easy parking. We just found the bed much too soft.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely place, nice host. Can have a very good rest and sleep after whole day travelling.

Ett litet men trevligt rum. Rent och fräscht och en väldigt trevlig värd. Nära strandpromenaden

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

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.

Perfect place to stay for a visit to Penzance

Do not stay here. Rooms are tiny and overpriced. Owner/ host is weird and invasive. Just a nightmare.

Lovely property clean, quiet, very comfortable , lovely host, would highly recommend

Had no problems at all, host made you feel feel very welcome and were very friendly.

Very clean, safe, well furnished with very comfortable beds and modern en-suite, helpful patron, train and bus stations are pleasant walk (about 1 mile). Well situated for tennis courts, arcade, lido and outdoor theatre/music in the park.Tea/coffee making facilities are in the room but breakfast is not available (reflected in the price); however continental style breakfast items can be purchased at nearby supermarkets (need to take some plastic knives). Our room was in the attic with four flights of stairs; therefore if you have mobility concerns need to check the situation of your room. We found on-street parking nearby to be a challenge and it would have been impossible late in the day. This was a bank holiday weekend so perhaps was an exception.

Comfortable room, nice location, friendly reception.

Excellent property! Great host! Within walking distance to major restaurants and shops!

Alan was a friendly and helpful host, and this was a great stay!

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.

Good location for visiting Penzance and surrounding areas. Owners were very welcoming and helpful. Excellent facilities in the room.

Very comfortable for a few nights.

Our room was very cosy and there was even a small fridge.

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.

Position was perfect, room spottlessy clean and very comfortable. Host very kind and helpful. I would recommend it!!

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.

Sehr Kleins Zimmer und kleinstes Bad, als b&b angekündigt, es gibt aber kein Frühstück

Quiet, comfortable BnB. Friendly and accomodating. Great place for a few nights stay.

The room was clean and spacious. Only thing missing was a mini-fridge.

Out host Alan was very helpful with suggestions of things to see and do. We recommend Chiverton House for value for money.

Expedia had advertised this as a 4-star bed and breakfast so I was very disappointed to find out that breakfast is no longer served at this establishment. The rooms were small, but spotlessly clean. Friendly hosts and a lovely position in Penzance.

Very friendly and value for money guest house

Disappointing. After a long, tiring trip, we arrived at Chiverton to find no one there and door locked. A note on the door had a phone number to ring but not the international code. A kind neighbour lent us her phone. Had to park 5 blocks away. Room and shower stall were very small and - would NOT recommend for couples.

The room was very small and very warm. But it was very clean, was nicely located and pleasant to be in. It would have been nice to have a lounge to sit in.

Alan was temporarily running solo with his son due to family commitments, but the stay was seamless. Decent room, if on the small side. Good breakfast and a free map with a lot of information on was given on check in.

Fantastic place. The room was spacious, the beds were extremely comfortable. It was a quiet neighborhood. The parking is on-street only, but easily found at the end of the road. The breakfast was delicious and quite varied. It was definitely good value for money. The owners were friendly and helpful, offering insightful advice and good places to eat. I would stay here again.

Really lovely stay - our hosts were fantastic: clean room, excellent breakfasts, lots of local knowledge and tips we actually used. We arrived early off the night train, which was no problem at all: they have space to leave luggage and then they got our room ready early. Really good location, near bus stops for exploring; a few minutes from the town centre and train station, but those few minutes are walking along the seafront. And you are nearer Newlyn. Room very well equipped - tv, coffee, good shower, lots of plugs for charging. Secure out of hours (guests get extra keys). All very COVID secure - we felt very safe here.

Despite a difficult journey and late arrival, Alan was most helpful and welcoming. Throughout our stay the atmosphere was friendly and sociable. Our room was very comfortable with an en-suite and we slept soundly. Breakfast was substantial and the choice perfectly adequate, if not extensive. All-in-all a great experience, I would recommend anyone to stay here.

Lovely, centrally located house with street parking. Host is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and furniture/linen/towels/toiletries are of good quality. A good quality breakfast set us up for the day. Note: COVID compliant measures are in place. Would definitely return here.

We stayed for a 3 night break. Alan & Sally were great hosts. Ideal place for us to walk to most local attractions like St Michaels mount, Mousehole, and all local pubs,restaurants,and local shopping amenities. Room was spotless,Breakfast was perfect.Also cereals, fruit, yoghurts and juices. Alan gives great advice where to visit. And very knowledgable about Cornwall in general. Had time for everyone, and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend staying at this great B&B.

Gemütliche Unterkunft mit herzlichen Gastgebern, in der man sich sofort wie zuhause fühlt. Das English Breakfast war hervorragend.

Very clean, homely, delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful hosts

Couldn't get in at first, but that was as much because I had never used the key number lock before, not because the door wouldn't open! Excellent place in a quiet part of town, 15 minutes or so walk to the rail station, good facilities and equally good breakfast. Would visit again and recommend.

A lovely room in a great house, situated in a quiet street about 200 yards from the sea and a promenade, near shops, a lovely walk to the town through sub tropical gardens. Lovely breakfasts friendly owners and Covid secure. The only tiny gripe is that the cafetière coffee tasted instant rather than ground. I would stay here again.

Friendly place access to town easy. Breakfast times restrictive otherwise all fine

Great location, two minute walk to the sea. Very welcoming hosts, who followed all the Covid guidance perfectly. Delicious breakfast.

Wonderful hotel with very accommodating owners. Clean and tidy throughout with a great breakfast menu. Close to the town (shops and harbour) of Penzance; Newly and even a short walk to Mousehole. Great location. Fantastic hotel and would defiantly stay again. 10/10.

Alan, the host, was great. He explained everything we needed to know about our stay and when we requested consumable items for the room they were delivered promptly. The cooked breakfast was fresh and quick. Recommendations for other restaurants were excellent.

A difficult time for the owners only just opening again after lockdown. They did everything they could to make me feel welcome and safe.

A warm welcome, lovely hosts. The room was comfy and very clean ,breakfast was very tasty. Chiverton house is close to all amenities in Penzance.

Owner very hospitable and helpful provideud detailed map of area and how to get around by foot. TV didn't work in room even after effort of owner to fix it. Not a big deal as we didn't go there to watch TV.

Great host supplying excellent service, including excellent breakfast.. Nice and clean room. Ventilation in the room/bath could have been better. We will definitely come back if Cornwall is visited again.

What a lovely b&b, friendly, helpfull nice clean Room excellent breakfast bit more importantly The service was so 5star friendly would highly recommend

The owner was so friendly and accommodating. A lovely place to stay and a great quality breakfast. Really close to town and the sea front!

We had the best time,rooms were super clean,breakfast was amazing , location was fantastic and Alan was so welcoming and helpful we enjoyed ourseld so much so stayed for an extra night 100% would recommend
