Blue Seas

Very welcoming and friendly. Fiona can help with any queries relating to tides,ferry crossings etc. We visit annually and the standard of rooms and food is exceptional,always tip top.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd October 2024:

We stayed at the Blue Seas many times and it always feels like visiting friends again. Arnaud and Fiona are wonderful hosts and always made us feel very welcome. Very nice rooms, comfortable lounge with a huge selection of books for rainy days of which we had quite a lot this time! Beautiful Breakfast freshly made, very quiet, very clean. It doesn`t feel like a hotel. It rather feels like a home.

I really enjoy this stay in Blue Seas guest house. The room was nice, the breakfast was delicious ! It was perfect ! Thank you !

Would Recommend: Yes

Waking up in the morning and having a real chef preparing authentic breakfast delicacies is one of the luxuries of this B&B. The Blue Seas is on a quiet street, within walking distance of the centre of Penzance, the train and bus station and the famous Jubilee Pool. The building is very well maintained. We stayed in a charmingly decorated room with maritime motifs. It was spacious, with a large window overlooking a well-kept garden and the sea in the distance. The bed was very comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep. A cosy living room next to the entrance is an ideal place to spend a few hours reading. But the most surprising thing is the breakfast. An extensive list of cooked dishes one may choose from, ranging from the typical English breakfast to porridge or specialities as simple as an omelette, are freshly prepared by the owner and, apart from being delicious, are plated with good taste, just like in a Michelin starred restaurant. It's almost a pity to eat and spoil the decor. The B&B is run by a friendly couple who are always on hand to help, giving tips and suggestions on walks, places to visit and places to eat. It was one of the best places we stayed during our holiday. We highly recommend it.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th August 2024:

Fiona & Arnaud could easily conduct a masterclass on how to run the ideal guesthouse! We travel a LOT and have never experienced such an ideal welcome & guesthouse experience. We consider ourselves lucky to have stayed there for a week, and esp, to enjoy Fiona's attention to every detail and Arnaud's magic in the kitchen. Judy & John

We highly recommend Blue Seas, if you're fortunate enough to find an available date !

Would Recommend: Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Arnaud and Fiona, warm welcome, nothing too much trouble. Great Breakfasts. Outstandingly clean. Comfy beds and lovely toiletries too. Loved the biscuits and cakes that were left in our rooms. :-) Perfect for our party of four. Can highly recommend staying at the Blue Seas.

Why stay elsewhere, this is the perfect spot!

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely location, immaculate room with a view and fantastic hosts! Tasty lovingly made breakfast every day and home made treats with the tea making facilities in the room. A great place to stay, we really enjoyed our visit. Darren and Kerry

Ask Fiona to share her valuable knowledge about Penzance, the local area and the attractions on offer, it was so helpful for us.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2024:

Fiona and Arnaud are just the friendliest hosts you could ever wish for when on holiday. Nothing is too much for them.

I have stayed at Blue Seas several times and can absolutely recommend it. It is a lovely place to stay - lovely hosts - Fiona and Arnaud are ever so helpful - giving lots of information about Cornwall - where to go, where to eat etc. The rooms at Blue Seas are lovely and bright, always very clean. Also the lovely flowers and decorations in the whole house are great. I am already looking forward to returning soon.

Perfect accommodation, perfect hosts, close to shops ,eateries , promenade and pools ,also catching the boat to the isles of scilly ,train station for ST Ives, a spot to branch out to other areas of interest..

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd May 2024:

You both of you could not have been more helpful and welcoming.

For basic necessities there are co-ops in Queen's Square and Market Jew Street, also a Boots. Be aware of bus times, best to catch buses from bus station. Information Centre is shut weekends and not all that helpful. Recommend the Penlee Art Gallery and also the cafe set in the gardens. For Bernard Leech Pottery, St Ives, would recommend the bus to go, from Penzance bus station as it stops close by. Otherwise it's a steep hill walk up from St Ives station. Summer starts early in Cornwall, in May so bring appropriate clothing and footwear. Recommend early morning walks around Penzance.

We cannot thank you enough for making our stay in Penzance such a pleasant one. Our room was lovely, and we looked forward to the homemade cookies you provided each day. Delicious! You assisted us with so many details, including locating alternate transportation when a rail strike disrupted our travel plans. We especially appreciated your suggestions about interesting sites we might visit, and the directions to these sites that you provided were clear and detailed so that we could navigate easily. The delicious breakfasts you prepared far exceeded our expectations. The Blue Seas is conveniently located, and the service Arnaud & Fiona provide is exceptional. We hope to visit again someday!

This was our first time staying with you - we would definitely like to come back! Your breakfasts were extraordinary and so delicious! Great location for using public transit (bus and train) to see the Penwith Peninsula. You were both so gracious, welcoming, cheerful, warm, and helpful with information we could use to make the most of our time there. We loved the cheerful colors and thoughtful touches, such as the fresh-baked treats left in our room each day. We also enjoyed the flowers in your front garden. Our only suggestion, a small one, would be for a container of air freshener to use when needed for the bathroom (hope that isn't too much info! :-) ) Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Blue Seas!! Warmest good wishes, Evelyn and Nels

Book early! This is a wonderful place to stay!

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2023:

Arnaud and Fiona welcomed us as we drove into their dedicated car park. Arnaud graciously carried our baggage to our room while Fiona explained our various dinner options around the area. The breakfasts were outstanding with fresh and varied options including excellent and tasty options to accommodate food sensitivities and allergies. The rooms were very comfortable, spacious, and aesthetically pleasing and relaxing. Arnaud and Fiona are an engaging, helpful couple who care deeply their guests experience excellent service and attentiveness. If you are traveling to Penzance/Cornwall, make a point of staying at the Blue Seas!

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2023:

We loved staying at the Blue Seas and we certainly come back! Everything was perfect: the passionate hosts Fiona and Arnaud are super friendly and helpful, the breakfast is outstanding, the rooms are very clean and equipped with everything you need, and Pencanze is a great starting point for exploring West-Cornwall.

26th June 2023:

Everything just as good as we remembered from a previous visit. Breakfasts outstanding!

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2023:

Fiona and Arnaud were great hosts and nothing was too much trouble to ensure I had a really good stay. The room had a sea view and was very comfortable, Arnaud’s breakfasts were amazing and the little garden in front was just the place for a relaxing cup of tea and a chat at the end of a busy day. Will definitely return, thanks guys!

Blue Seas is in a brilliant setting, a street away from the sea-front in a most peaceful Terrace. It is also a short walk (10mins) from the mainline railway station which I found very useful as I arrived via the train, with my bike. Arnaud stored said bike in his garage and was very happy to fetch it out when I wanted to cycle over to St Michael’s Mount via the coast path or to Mousehole, both easy rides. I was attending an art course at Newlyn which was easily walkable via the promenade but there is also the local bus (LandsEnd Coastal ) which stops right outside the Newlyn Art School and will take you all around the coastline to all the places you need to visit!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2023:

Breakfast, accommodation and hosts terrific….ditto last year!! Arnaud and Fiona really make your stay a pleasure.

Great location as a base to explore this part of Cornwall. Local trains and flexible bus services mean you don't need the car!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd June 2023:

The hotel is immaculate and Fiona and Arnaud are extremely gracious, helpful hosts. We felt very much at home during our stay.

Fiona knows everything one could possibly need to know about the area - take her suggestions. Take the bus or walk to Mousehole; don’t drive. St Michael Mount is superb, both castle and gardens are worth a visit. Lands End is very pleasant, but less so after the buses arrive about 9:30, so go early.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th May 2023:

The hotel has a good location which is quite close to bus station, supermarket, stores and sea. There are a wide range of home- made delicious breakfast to be chosen from. Room is quite clean and tidy. We really enjoy our stay at blue seas and appreciate the enthusiastic and home-like service provide by Armand and Fiona. We will definitely choose to live in Blue Seas again if we visit Penzance again in the future.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Longyue, thank you for choosing Blue Seas! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Our location is indeed convenient and we’re happy that you found our breakfast delicious. Good luck with the muffins.

10th May 2023:

Truly an amazing stay.

Thank you very much, Brad, this is much appreciated.

26th April 2023:

Without exception my stay at Blue Seas provided me with the best accommodation experience i have ever had. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere generated by Arnaud and Fiona was very friendly, the presentation of public areas, bedrooms and garden was exceptional and as for the quality and variety of homemade dishes at the breakfasts - "sans pareil". 5 Stars - without question.

Frasers Fish and Chips - Cornish Hake Newlyn School of Art - wonderful courses - enjoyable and instructive. Sennen Cove, Bottalack Mine and the North Coast Tremenheere Sculpture Park The Walk to Marzion and St Michael's Mount at low tide Penlee Art Gallery

Would Recommend: Yes

Private parking, right in front.Penzance is a great location for day trips; Blue Seas is a great location for walking to dinner/drinks at night. Room (Sevenstones) was perfect, lovely view.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th April 2023:

It’s been one of the most enjoyable stay that I have ever experienced, and I can totally understand why others who gave 5 stars ratings after their stay at Blue Seas hotel. With top-notch hospitality from Arnaud and Fiona, one would fully enjoy their vacation in Penzance. Our room was immaculately clean and tidy. Breakfast was simply amazing, with soooo many options to choose from. Thanks to Arnaud, you will always have something to look forward to after you wake up in the morning. The hotel is also very conveniently located, with approximately 10 minutes walk from the train station, and is close to the city center and the promenade. Fiona also provided lots of good tips on exploring around the neighbourhood. We had a great time spending the Easter long weekend at Blue Seas, and would definitely recommend others to stay at this little gem hotel in Penzance. We would definitely come back to this one when we visit the region again!

Just make your booking whenever you see availability in the hotel, you will only regret if you cannot make a booking, seriously! 😊

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much Sydney for your very kind review. We are so glad you had a good time with us. Good luck for the London Marathon. Fiona & Arnaud

Thank you so much Fiona and Arnaud for such a fantastic week at Blue Skies. Everything about our stay was simply perfect. Yours rooms are stylish and very comfortable with lots of little touches which evidence how professional you are. Breakfasts were amazing and we loved the morning chats and great recommendations for where to go and how to get there. The view from our room over the bay was stunning and I loved just sitting in your beautiful garden watching the world go by. Thank you both for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Steve and Tom.

Great location in lovely part of town and great base for exploring local gardens and houses as well as the coast. Jubilee Pool is fab. Lots of good antique shops in town too. Can’t wait to go back.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th August 2021:

Fiona and Arnaud are exceptional hosts and made our stay truly fabulous. From the moment we arrived we knew that we were in good hands, service and hospitality only found in the best places.

Newlyn is a must for foodies and cinema goers. Fiona had recommended Mackerel Sky Kitchen to us and it didn't disappoint - great food. Argoe restaurant is also worth a visit although take a thick sweater as it can be chilly. Chapel Street in town is great for small independent retailers.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2021:

I don't normally write reviews, but in this case I have to make an exception. Blue Seas is 'perfect' in every way, and Fiona and Arnaud set the standard for B&B for the rest to follow. The hotel is so pretty inside and out, and clean and so well-considered. Every detail is thought through with care. As for the breakfast; the choice is amazing and everything prepared to perfection (I've used that twice now). I can say without hesitation "The best I have ever experienced", and no - I haven't been paid to write this review :-)

If you go to Mousehole, DO NOT DRIVE

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2021:

Fiona and Arnaud were delightful hosts and very personal. I really appreciated the little considerations such as providing us plates for some birthday cake after noticing we didn’t have anything to eat on. The different mini bakery treats every day were lovely to come back to, and the breakfasts were incredible. The rooms were always serviced everyday to a high standard and Fiona was always on hand to recommend lots of great places.

Definitely take a walk along the coast to Newlyn to try the Mackerel Sky Fish Bar. If you want to tackle something more challenging, try cycling the 34 mile camel trail from Wenfordbridge to Padstow (and back).

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2021:

Our stay at Blue Seas was excellent. It was great right from the start, beautiful garden in front of the hotel, warm welcome from the owners, clean and beautifully decorated hotel. Our room was also very clean and decorated with good taste. Perfect organization and hard work of the owners was visible at every step. However, the owners, Fiona and Arnaud, deserve the greatest compliments. They were always smiling and helpful. The breakfasts they served were excellent and very tasty. Everything was made with fresh and homemade products. It's hard to describe everything exactly, but my fiancée and I were very delighted. We can honestly and wholeheartedly recommend Blue Seas. If we are planning a holiday in Cornwall again, we will definitely come back to Blue Seas. Greetings and all the best to Fiona and Arnaud.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th August 2021:

Arnaud and Fiona are superb hosts who have given attention to every detail of your stay. Arnaud's baking is a particular favourite.

This part of Cornwall is awash with ancient stone circles, quoits and standing stones which are often forgotten!

Would Recommend: Yes

I had very enjoyable stay in Blue Seas Hotel,location was perfect,just 15 min walk from train and coach station.The house is professionally maintained,everything was clean,room itself was beautiful and cosy,bathroom was perfect with nice power shower. The Breakfast menu is fantastic,I had special requirements,because of my diet and the hotel owners specially bought the ingredients for my breakfast,what was very tasty and beautifully presented. I can easily recommend this hotel to other people,who's planning to stay in Penzance and explore beautiful Cornwall. Thank you so much Fiona and Arnaud for your hospitality and kindness.

29th July 2021:

We had a wonderful stay - an impressive breakfast, lovely garden full of flowers, and most importantly flexible and friendly owners!

Would Recommend: Yes

25th July 2021:

This was by far the nicest place we stayed in during a 10 day trip to Devon and Cornwall. We had a beautiful, spacious and well-equipped room overlooking the sea. Fiona and Arnaud are very welcoming and helpful with local info. The breakfasts are amazing - Arnaud's home baking is not to be missed, and the menu would not be out of place in a Michelin restaurant. So sorry the Blue Seas is so far from London! Very highly recommended.

The best and most interesting restaurant is the Kota in Porthleven, but the Gurnard's Head and Coastguard (in Mousehole) are very good too. St Ives is disappointing because totally overrun with tourists in the summer and directions within the town are minimal. Ask Fiona about local walks. Lots of maps and guides in the lounge.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st July 2021:

Worth staying here if only for the breakfasts! Our room was comfortable and airy. Not large but well laid out, though I was baffled by the workings of the shower. We would have appreciated a few more power points for charging the myriad electronic devices one travels with these days, also a point for an electric razor/toothbrush in the bathroom. We were very pleased with the spacious guest sitting room, a facility all too often overlooked.

Despite the way GWR and Isles of Scilly Travel advertise, do not rely on the Riviera Sleeper connecting with Scillonian 111’s sailings! One can dine very well in Penzance & Newlyn, and can recommend the Navy Inn, just round the corner, the Tollcarne Inn, and the Alverne (expensive but worth it). Do book in good time, most restaurants are small. Seafront chippies all seem to close surprisingly early should a fish supper appeal. As a wine trade professional myself, I can recommend Mounts Bay Wine as a serious wine and spirit merchants.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th July 2021:

This was our second stay here. It was wonderful. Everything about the hotel is first class. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and with the most amazing breakfast. Fiona and Arnaud are wonderful hosts. Artaud’s cooking and baking skills are out this world. Great choice of breakfasts. Home made granolas, yogurts, pastries and breads. Also home baked biscuits in the room each day waslovely touch. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Plenty to see and do. Lovely coastal walks to Newlyn and Mousehole. St Michaels Mount is wonderful if you haven’t been before but be aware that it’s a little climb up on uneven cobblestone pathways. Plenty of great places to eat. Lots of cafes and pubs. Also not too far from places like St Ives, although it was very busy there when we went. Not too far from Eden which is worth a visit also near the Cornish seal sanctuary.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th July 2021:

Fiona and Arnaud make their guests extremely welcome - nothing is too much trouble. The cream tea on arrival sat in the garden was delightful

The standards that were originally set 20 years ago , when Fiona and Arnaud arrived , have as far as we know never dropped an inch ; simply perfect in all spheres , especially the breakfasts ; we defy you to find better in any sort of accommodation short of deluxe hotels , and even those would be hard pushed!

Brilliant stay. Worked around covid to make us feel it had gone away. We really enjoyed our stay. Very very clean comfortable abd hospitable. Fiona and Arnaud went out out of their way to make us feel at home. Arnauds breakfasts were in a class of their own. Nothing was too much trouble.

Excellent fish restaurant close by superb quality.

This was our third stay at The Blue Seas. We absolutely love it there. The service is second to none and a friendly homely welcome awaits. Fiona and Arnaud are so accommodating. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

The jubilee pool which is right opposite is a must. A walk along the prom into Newlyn and the Turks head is a fab pub

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2021:

We loved our stay so much! I will be telling everyone who asks about our trip how great you’re place is.

Wonderful stay, thank you. Excellent breakfasts, very friendly atmosphere, always helpful. We were made to feel at home from the start.

Fiona is very knowledgeable and always has good ideas and recommendations. We liked the Alverne restaurant and the Boatshed. Penlee Gallery is always worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2021:

We have stayed many times and love the welcome we get from Fiona and Arnaud plus Louise. The place is always immaculate and we have no reservation in recommending it to others. The breakfast is fantastic especially with the expansion of Arnaud's home baking range.

Current favourite restaurant is The Bakehouse - great food and exceptional staff closely followed by Blacks and The Honey Pot. Would usually recommend the open top bus to St Ives but as we were there when G7 was on it was not such a great idea this time.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2021:

This B&B is faultless! Fiona and Arnaud are delightful hosts and Arnaud cooks the most amazing breakfasts. Everything is home made and locally sourced. It is spotlessly clean. Our room was very comfortable with lovely little local touches. A great shower! The attention to detail is superb. An added bonus is the little front garden which is a sun trap and the perfect place for a cup of tea and one of Arnaud’s home made biscuits or pastries. Thank you so much we could not have stayed anywhere better in Penzance.

Great location to walk into Penzance, swim in the lido or walk the south west coast path. Easy to get to Mousehole, st Michael’s Mount and the south west of Cornwall.

Would Recommend: Yes

Brilliant hotel, very friendly owners, beautiful rooms and fantastic breakfasts. Best place to stay in Penzance, won't stay anywhere else.

On a nice day the sea view walk to Maazion and St Michael's Mount is amazing. Also the Geothermal pool at the Lido.

Great little hotel in brilliant location, just behind the Jubilee pool in a sheltered terrace with pretty little garden where we were able to sit in the sun. Private parking, which is a real positive. Hosts Fiona and Arnaud made us feel really welcome. Fiona is a great mine of information about anything local, and Arnaud cooks the best breakfasts we've had in a while (definitely 5*).

There are some good restaurants in Penzance, and the best ones we went to were the Boatshed and the Old Lifeboat House. For lunch, there is a nice little place at the Jubilee Pool (gets very busy) and the Dolphin pub was very popular nearby. We loved Porthleven (some lovely little shops) and Sennen, and Marazion beach. Mousehole is worth visiting, if only to watch the cars trying to negotiate the narrow roads - recommend you walk there as it's not that far. Penzance itself was busy but not as crazy as St Ives, so felt reasonably safe during these Covid times.

Fiona and Arnauld were very welcoming - not just letting us drop our bags early but providing coffee and a snack. The room was reasonably spacious with a great view. Plentiful and varied breakfast and zero irritations with our whole stay. For us it was as close to perfection as it gets.

Would Recommend: Yes

Highly recommend. The best b&b in our experience! Charming rooms, immaculately clean, which is so important in times of COVID - we felt super safe and comfortable; great variety for breakfast and everything was sooooo delicious... Thank you, Chef! We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Blue Seas, and for that we should truly thank the owners - they are running the place with incredible passion, energy and enthusiasm. They couldn’t have done more to make our stay absolutely perfect. Just hope there will be a free room for us next time we go to Cornwall. :)

Would Recommend: Yes

Attention to detail is second to none. Fiona & Arnaud couldn’t do enough for us and the standard of cleanliness throughout the premises is outstanding.

Blacks and Alverne restaurants are excellent but book early to avoid disappointment. Bus and train transport in Penzance is excellent.

Of course we would recommend Blue Seas Hotel to our close friends and family, however it is tempting to want to keep it all to ourselves ! Joking aside the experience from start to finish was exceptional with no exaggeration needed. We opted for breakfast with our room and I must admit it was the finest breakfast we have experienced at any hotel of anyplace we have stayed. Both myself and my wife weren’t sure weather to tuck straight in or sit back and admire as every mornings plate resembled a work of art..

Certainly don’t eat too much the night before or you just might miss out on the best breakfast this side of anywhere you please. If you’re hiring a car for your stay make sure it’s a small one as the roads are very narrow. Drive slowly and be considerable of other road users. Visit as many secluded coves and bays as you can, most of them haven’t changed visually for hundreds of years... Be polite to locals and bare in mind that “your” weeks holiday destination happens to be “their home”. Take the time to just sit and enjoy your short time there as it seams most folk are in too much of a rush these days. They a missing out ! Bring a waterproof coat and or a brolly, Cornwall has its own micro climate and can be both sunny and wet in the same hour. Take lots of photos. Enjoy

Very welcoming and helpful. Rooms are spotless and comfortable. Breakfast selection is amazing. The home made yogurt was delicious as was the bread. The cooked breakfast is one of the tastiest and best cooked I've had. Great location for exploring and relaxingg, we enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Great Central location for walking and exploring. The Yaught Inn around the corner provided a reasonable priced meal which was cooked well and is ideal if you've walked all day and want something low fuss and nearby. Mr Billy's was good for a cream tea.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2020:

What a gem of a find Blue Seas is. Perfect in every way and our hosts Fiona and Arnaud couldn't do enough to make our stay as memorable as possible. We will be recommending this 5 star guest house to all our friends and will be returning as soon as we can.

St Michaels Mount is a MUST ....but book in advance. Try to see a performance at the Minack Theatre ....it is so memorable. visit Kynance Cove...which is so picturesque and the walk between Lands End and Sennan Cove is beautiful.

Absolutely amazing B&B stay. If you are ever in the Penzance area and there is availability, BOOK! The hotel owners are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. They even organised a special treat for my wife’s birthday which made our trip even more special! The breakfast has so many choices and is some of the best B&B breakfast I’ve had. Thanks for a brilliant stay!

My wife and me only managed to get 3 nights and though the weather wasn't great for the whole duration, the owners of the guest house has helped us alot to make the most of our time with loads of advices. They are also very captivating during conversations. The hotel it self is more than what you would expect, also considering that the whole reason for a trip is to go out there and enjoy. All n all has been a very pleasant experience and will plan to go there in the future!

The lady of the house does a far better job of pointing out the most important points of interest.

Me and my husband stayed for our first anniversary and Blue Seas lived up to our expectations and then loads more! I loved that everything was eco-friendly and plastic free! And that most things have been sourced locally. Hosts were amazing and were really friendly and helpful! Views from our bedroom were spectacular. Breakfast was so tasty and the little treats in our room were a lovely touch. Could not fault anything. Will definitely stay here again.

Always a good experience and enjoyable stay at Blue Seas which is why we choose to return as often as we can over the years. Penzance and the Blue Seas combine to give us the ideal break. Although we have no hesitation in recommending to others, I tend to be very guarded about revealing what an ideal spot we have found as people seem to book up increasingly well in advance throughout the year. A bit possessive really I’m afraid to is that good.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2020:

Despite the need for C-19 protection measures, Fiona and Arnaud were able to make me feel welcomed and safe. They provide an outstanding service with lovely touches such as Arnaud's yummy daily biscuits, madeleines etc in your room daily and the best breakfasts!! I can highly recommend the local smoked haddock!

In addition to the beaches and coastal walks, go slightly inland and explore the numerous stone circles, standing stones, holy wells, quoits and iron age villages!

Would Recommend: Yes

14th July 2020:

Fiona and Arnaud are extremely welcoming, their level of customer service and care to detail is brilliant. The breakfasts look delicious and taste accordingly ( so I was told) The accommodation is spotlessly clean and every effort is being made to comply with Covid19 regulations. We felt totally safe and comfortable during our stay.

There is much information on local places of interest held at the hotel and also, Arnaud and Fiona are a great source of information on all places of interest and dining experiences locally.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed Blue Seas. The owners, Steve and Jane, are absolutely lovely people who go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is the best. They clearly thought through the details of what their guests would appreciate -- a great location, comfortable beds, bath robes, extra bedding, a large bathroom with a large shower, a towel heater, a delicious breakfast, a place to enjoy a casual drink, and the list goes on!

We were really happy with the service and help we received throughout our stay. We cant praise the proprietors highly enough. The hotel itself was of the highest standard with regards to every thing from the exquisite decor, beautifully laundered bedding, to the white fluffy towels and spotless en-suite. The breakfasts were delicious and to your exact requirements.

We found the Dolphin Pub to be exceptionally good for both food and service. Penzance itself is brimming over with interesting shops and lots of cafes, and an 'excellent' Fish and Chip Shop just around the corner from the Blue Seas. We love the coastal walk to Mousehole, and St Michaels Mount Marazion is definitely worth seeing. Also Porthleven is a very pretty place to look around.

Very comfortable rooms in a large regency era house. Good selection of breakfast fare. Good personal touches such as bottled water available in room. Host very knowledgeable on local area and expected daily weather!

Good local pubs in Penzance serving good standard of food, best to book though. Penzance is ideally located to visit most of the tourist attractions in Cornwall, and by public transport as we did.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th October 2019:

The minute I arrived I was warmly welcomed! Even driving in was perfect because they have guest parking and the loveliest front garden!! Standing there you have a beautiful view of the sea and can hear the gulls song and waves crashing! My room was on the 3rd floor and after Fiona’s helpful tips Arnaud took my suitcase up and showed me to my delightful room - Tader Du. Wow! Gorgeous view of The sea, promenade, and Newlyn. Special homemade treats with the tea set up. The bed was comfortable and bathroom very nice! Breakfast was delicious and served up with a smile and helpful advice for my days journey. Such a lovely stay - such warm people!

I enjoyed my walk around town, thru gardens, along the promenade and over to Newlyn very much! My visit over to St Michael’s Mount was perfect! My dinners at admiral Benbow and Turk’s head was very good! Really friendly people. I felt safe walking alone. Go see Minack theater, some beaches and walk on the southwest coast path!!

We had a wonderful welcome chat with Fiona over coffee and scones on the front lawn. Our room was clean and comfortable with lots of extras. We particularly liked the heated towel rail.

Kind, hospitable, and ready to be of any assistance - that characterizes Fiona and Arnaud. We appreciated a big bag of ice after falling on a trail. We were grateful for directions involving the King Harry ferry saving us time as we journeyed to St. Mawes. Delicious home baking very day left in our rooms daily.

Don’t miss the Isles of Scilly. Ate at the Dolphin around the corner and it was reasonable and delicious.

Nicest hotel we’ve stayed in for a long time. Definitely the cleanest and very well decorated. Absolutely spotless. Fantastic breakfast with so much choice. Very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Gave advice as where to go, how to get there, best places to eat. Altogether a fabulous place.

St Michaels mount was wonderful but beware the climb as the steps are uneven and in some places difficult. Admiral benbow was interesting but the food was only so so. St ives was lovely but make sure you park at leisure centre and maybe catch the bus back up as very busy and the roads are very narrow

Would Recommend: Yes

12th July 2019:

Best breakfasts ever!

Eat at the Tolcarne Inn, Newlyn. Buy an Art Pass.Catch a bus to St.Ives - the quickest way to get there. See what's on in Penlee Park open air theatre. Great independent shops in Penzance.

Nothing too much trouble for Fiona & Arnaud, fabulous choice for breakfast and certainly good provisions in the bedroom. Would highly recommend their bed & breakfast to anyone, that’s why we keep returning.

It was the second time after 9 years that we stayed for 5 days in Blue Seas.

Fiona and Arnaud are very welcoming and helpful hosts. Blue Seas is in an excellent location, convenient to transport, restaurants and other facilities, and has lovely views over Mounts Bay. Our room (7) was spacious, a very comfortable bed, very good ensuite, perfectly clean and a lovely view. The breakfasts were the best we enjoyed in three weeks in England (and that includes 5 star hotels). The cold selection was excellent and Arnaud’s cooking absolutely delicious.

Fiona and Arnaud will have plenty of tips but there are quite a few very good restaurants in Chapel Street, including Blacks, the Bakehouse and the Turks Head Pub. Two Fore Street in Mousehole is an excellent place for lunch but you might be wise to book. Penzance is a very good base to explore the surrounding area. We had hoped to do more walking but the weather did not cooperate. Nevertheless, it is a good base for that and driving around as well.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2019:

A lovely place to stay! Spotless, excellent facilities and the best breakfasts. Fiona and Artaud are friendly and welcoming. Located with a sea view from some of the rooms, view over pretty back courtyard as alternative. Would strongly recommend.

The breakfast was amazing! The selection of homemade breads and the prepared to order eggs/bacon/mushrooms were exceptional. The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Blue Seas was a truly delightful guest house. The old stone house has been meticulously updated and maintained and our room had a fresh but not overdone seaside theme. How perfect given the coastal view from our window. Breakfast was more than we hoped for... fresh everything and a made to order hot breakfast if desired. The breakfast room was charming and comfortable as well, with current newspapers, and a cold buffet that included home made yogurt, baked goods, fresh fruit etc. Our hosts were friendly but not intrusive.

We enjoyed walking around this little coastal town and found great dinner options within 3-6 blocks. We left our rental car in the lot and enjoyed taking the bus to other seaside areas like St. Ives. Parking near village centers is near impossible, and the transit system is excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

Ideally situated place to stay for amenities in Penzance. Great views of the sea and bay. Comfortable and attention to detail was amazing. So much choice at breakfast and freshly cooked for you.
