Five Stars

Mike and Ally were attentive hosts and looked after me to a very high quality, nothing was too much trouble. The room was large, bright and airy with a good sized bathroom which had a great shower with plenty of hot water. The breakfast was of an excellent quality, definitely up there with some of the best hotels. An added bonus was Elvis and Molly ( family pets). I would definitely highly recommend Holbein House to any body visiting Penzance.

Aly & Mike are doing a fantastic job, would definitely recommend, so friendly and top quality, great value for money

Very welcoming, warm, cosy, clean and beautifully decorated. Great facilities. Little things that make all the difference like good quality shampoo & conditioner, hair dryer. Towel rail on in bathroom. Breakfast choice was just amazing and full English was delicious.

No negatives at all!

Outstanding hosting in luxurious rooms

Outstanding accommodation, breakfast and hosting. The location is perfect for a wander along the seafront into Penzance or into Newlyn for some fab’ seafood. Easy parking right by the property too. Our hosts really couldn’t have done anything more to make us feel welcome or to enjoy our stay.

I'd prefer a room on a lower level - too many steps to get in and out.

Very enjoyable.

We only stayed one night, but were very happy. It was easy to find and had plenty of street parking. The property itself was beautiful and very will kept. The room was lovely and airy and didn’t lack anything. The breakfast was great. The hosts were a lovely, friendly, helpful couple and Elvis (the dog) was a bonus.

Magical

Staying here was pure magic. Ally and Mike are the most wonderful hosts – full of incredible tips and the kindest attitude – they instantly made Penzance feel like home. The whole place has such a vibe: welcoming, relaxed, and special in a way that’s hard to put into words. Elvis and Molly are the cutest dog and cat, you will fell in love. Also, breakfast is amazing (get the omelette!). We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Nothing. Everything was just perfect.

Friendly, welcoming, and well located B and B in beautiful Penzance.

The Holbein House is an excellent place to stay in Penzance. The hosts are so helpful and welcoming. The breakfast is great. My son and I used it as a base to hike on the Coastal Path over several days. It was a perfect location to go in many directions on the coastal path. Highly recommend the Holbein House. Hope to return soon!

7.0 / 10.0

Good stay.

Great breakfast and the room was clean with a nice green view.

At breakfast, all guests were sat at a long table very close to each other. I like some privacy in the mornings so for me, it was a bit too crowdy. There was no common area open 24/7 just to chill out and relax. The "living room" seemed to be private. There was a lot of noise from the road just outside, which could be fixed with better windows. A lot of stairs to our room at the top floor.

9.0 / 10.0

Very nice place but 34 stairs to take the cases up was too much for us.

Friendly, clean, good breakfast.

Self check in.

10.0 / 10.0

Excellent hotel and hosts, we would 100% return.

Holbein House was very well maintained and thoughtfully decorated. The rooms were well laid out, clean, comfortable, and cosy. From checking in to checking out, the whole experience was much more pleasant and personable compared to chain hotels in the area. Both hosts were friendly and welcoming, offering recommendations on local pubs, restaurants, and activities. The breakfast service was high quality, with the overall experience at Holbein House providing a lovely weekend getaway and excellent value for money.

10.0 / 10.0

An outstanding gem!

This was my second time staying at Holbein House and it was just as amazing as I remembered it!! Ally and Mike were so kind, accommodating and knowledgeable about places to eat and things to do in the area - and the house itself is beautiful, extremely well restored and furnished. Obviously Elvis deserves a separate mention for being a very good boy!

10.0 / 10.0

Fantastic.

Mike and Ally go above and beyond the requirements of B&B hosts and are wonderfully welcoming and friendly. They have produced a colourful folder of recommendations and info on places, restaurants and pubs to visit and they keep this updated. They are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Penzance and give advice on how to get from A to B. They are also on hand to offer any further info or help you might need. The breakfasts are wonderful, everything you can think of is laid on. They also have a charming dog Elvis and fluffy cat Molly, who are as approachable as their owners. We'd definitely stay here again.

Exceptional stay with a thoughtful host

We recently stayed here for a night and had a truly wonderful experience. The BnB itself is spotlessly clean, cosy, and beautifully maintained. Everything felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. What made the stay even more special was the host, Mike. He was incredibly nice and welcoming. We had requested a late check-in as we were attending a musical show at the Minack Theatre, and Mike not only accommodated our request, but also kindly offered us cushions for more comfortable seating during the show, as well as raincoats just in case it rained. Such a thoughtful gesture that really stood out. The room was excellent, and we especially appreciated the great shower. Strong water pressure and an exceptionally clean shower cubicle made it feel luxurious. To top it off, the breakfast prepared by Mike the next morning was simply delicious. You can really tell he puts care and effort into making his guests feel at home. Although our stay was short, it was incredibly memorable. We would gladly return and highly recommend this BnB to anyone visiting the area.

We recommend Hoblein House wholeheartedly.

Mike, Ally, and Elvis were spectacular hosts. They were friendly, funny, and very helpful with directions and suggestions. We took their advice on a number of restaurants and activities and were never disappointed. The room was comfortable and well-appointed. Each day, our room was made up and replenished with filtered water and in-room coffee. Breakfast was incredible. The house omelet lives up to all the hype Mike gives up, but you should try the Full English breakfast as well. We recommend Hoblein House wholeheartedly.

Loved it all. It was perfect.

Brilliant!!!

Elegant with a homely and warm atmosphere. Cosy room with fresh bathroom. Really clean!!! The breakfast was outstanding I will specially miss the omelette and fresh berries with my yoghurt. The couple that runs the establishment are lovely and helpful to secure that you will have a good stay and guidance to see and explore Penzance and its surroundings.

Absolutely delightful

Beautiful property, really friendly and helpful owner. The room was beautifully clean and the bedding and towels clean and crisp. Great on suite amenities the shower was hot and powerful. The towels large and fluffy, as a side note they smelt lovely as well. The beds were comfortable and the room was warm but not stuffy. The whole house is beautiful. Room beautifully decorated while being cosy and welcoming. Unfortunately we didn’t get to experience the breakfast but if the dining room was anything to go by we wouldn’t have been disappointed. Just sorry we had to leave so early.

Nothing really, on street parking might have been harder if we’d arrived late but we found a spot without any problems.

Very easy check in, lovely room, early breakfast and very friendly and efficient staff.

Large room and bathroom. No problem getting an early breakfast before 7am

Minor hindrance of a lot of steps/stairs if you have lots of luggage but not a big deal and worth it for the great room.

Ally and Mike made sure we had a comfortable stay, cooked a great breakfast for us and shared lots of tips about Penzanc

The house is located in a great area, very quiet, we could hear the birds singing in the morning, absolutely magical. It was a couple of minutes walk to the beach, perfect location

Nothing, everything was exceptional

Beautiful, friendly and delicious! Perfect!

The kindest hosts ever. Elvis was tons of fun and took a picture with us. The breakfast was so yummy! They were courteous enough to make sure coffee was on m for the Americans. They were friendly, professional and helpful with things to do around town and parking suggestions. Beautiful home!!! Lots of stairs but who doesn’t love the exercise. They were very organized and reached out as soon as we booked. I’m cannot recommend this place more. There were 6 of us on 3 rooms and we all had raving reviews!!!! Ally and Michael were WONDERFUL!!!!

Very comfortable

Nice comfortable room, lovely cooked breakfast and some good advice on where to eat. They also have a file in the hall with lists of places. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The position is only a 15minute walk from the centre of the town and lots of eateries.

Nothing comes to mind except that Wi-Fi details said to be in the room couldn't be found. I'm sure if I'd asked this would have been rectified but the reception signal was good so I didn't bother

Elvis is a great host 🦮

Excellent stay. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and that includes Elvis their beautiful golden retriever. We missed a cooked breakfast as we had to leave early to catch the boat to the Isles of Scilly but the continental choice was fabulous.

There was nothing we didn’t like, just a minor quibble- the bed springs were a little squeaky 🥴

Very friendly and welcoming B&B

Very friendly welcome - especially from Elvis! Good sized rooms with large windows and comfy bed. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Nice dining room with a single large table and local art. Plenty of parking outside or on neighbouring streets.

Noisy rooks outside!!
