Fran was the perfect host and I liked her philosophy of reducing plastic by using glass containers. The pancakes at breakfast were delicious with lots of fresh fruit and the room was clean and comfortable and quiet at night.

Fran and Stuart were such nice hosts making us feel very welcome and informed about our stay in Penzance and area. We stayed in room 9 which is on the ground floor and in easy access to the breakfast room. The good thing about the location is the quiet. The road isn't busy and there are no loud pubs or bars around.

No matter if you arrive by car, train or bike, it's easy to get around. St Michael's Mount is about a 90min walk from Penzance or 10min ride on the bus. Mousehole is a little gem with small alleys to discover, cafes, and souvenir shops to pop in. We also did a lovely walk from Treen to Porthcurno on a misty but warm day which was rather magical.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and excellent tips for other travellers. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Keigwin House and we look forward to welcoming you back should you be in the area again. Best regards Fran & Stuart

Nothing was too much trouble for Fran and Stuart. Helpful with recommendations of places to visit, directions and even providing fridge and microwave in breakfast room for guests' use later in day.

A visit to Mousehole via the 'Mouse' bus is a must. If you want a memento of your trip the gift shop 'Coast', tucked away on a winding alleyway, has lovely gifts. On return leave the bus at Newlyn, from where it's a lovely easy walk to Keigwin, and you'll have had the chance to admire the local fishmongers' displays of the abundant Cornish catch!

14th July 2024:

We stayed at Keigwin for one night before our holiday to the Isles of Scilly. Fran was so welcoming - and the facilities are great - a nice touch for me is always the option to have fresh milk in the room to make a proper cuppa! Beds were really comfortable and the room was spotless. Thank you for your hospitality - we'll definitely book again with you when we next visit Scilly. Oh - also - the home mad biscotti was delicious!

We walked to the Dolphin for food (we eat there every year) - it's a leisurely 20 minute stroll - mostly along the seafront. We did get a taxi to the quay the following morning and used a taxi recommended by Fran - the taxi was on time and the chap was lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

So lovely to meet you. Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you had a wonderful holiday on Scilly. Kind regards Fran & Stuart

11th July 2024:

I always receive a warm welcome at Keigwin House. I can ask for advice on local activities, places to eat etc. I especially appreciated an early cooked breakfast, half-an-hour before the usual starting time, in order to catch the ferry to the Isles of Scilly.

There's a number of pubs on or near the sea-front which serve good food. In summer it's advisable to book ahead a night or two if possible.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very helpful friendly hosts in their very comfortable B and B.

Thank you

7th April 2024:

Stayed either side of a weekend trip to the isle of Scilly @ the Keigwin. Fran was there to greet us as she said. We stayed in room 1 for two nights, the room was spacious, and had all the facilities we needed for our weekend stay. We walked from the B&B to St Michaels mount and back, which is about 10 miles there and back., if you don’t like walking you can take the bus, which are frequent. The town centre is not far if you are in need of a large supermarkets and a short walk to Newlyn. On the Monday we caught the Scillonian 3 to the isle of Scilly, Fran had arrange breakfast for us early. Breakfast you have a choice of cereals, toast,Jams etc; the full English was excellent every time. We stay for one night on our return journey from Scilly isle, which was brought forward due to the weather, Fran was up to date with the crossing times and kept in touch with us to see what time we would be arriving and our room was ready for us when we arrived back. On our return we stayed in room 2, lovely room newly decorated and a very comfortable bed too; again clean, warm, coffee and tea facilities in the room. Fran and her husband are very knowledgeable about the area, they are helpful and run a lovely B&B in the middle of Penzance. Thanks for your hospitality. We would go back.

If you like the Rugby - the Penzance Pirates stadium is a short walk down the road. Newlyn is a 10 min stroll - the Mackerel sky is a lovely fish tapas restaurant; you can’t book, so just get there early and queue, they have two restaurants near each other now which makes life easier. Fresh fish dishes with flavours. The boathouse restaurant in the quay is lovely, food good, but advisable to book. Ferry to the isle of Scilly 5 mins down the road. Town center 5 mins The Boat house pub was a nice friendly pub for a drink.

This was my third stay here, and I feel very relaxed and at home. It is easy to get around to other places in the area, and along the coast, even without a car, as the local trains and buses are within easy access. There are a number of pubs in Penzance and Newlyn with large and small restaurants to have a good meal in. Fran is always helpful with any problems and accommodating with special requirements.

See above! The restaurants I have recently used include ‘45’ in Aueen St. PZ, and the Fishermens Arms in Newlyn. A visit to the Morrab Gardens and the Penlee Gallery, both in Morrab Rd. is worthwhile, and there is a good cafe for snacks and lunch at the Gallery.

26th September 2023:

We had an unplanned one night stay at Keigwin after we were unceromiously bumped off our Skybus flight to Scilly owing to the weather, forcing us to seek an overnight stay in Penzance at zero notice in preparation for catching the ferry the following morning. So we were very much at sizes and sevens and outside our comfort zone having been thrown into a situation we weren't expecting. The fantastic reception we received from Stuart immediately started to 'steady the ship' so as to speak as he took time not only to show us our room etc but also to fully explain where everything was in the town, good eating and drinking options, how the ferry and getting to the ferry would work the following morning etc etc. In short both Stuart and Fran could not have been more welcoming and accommodating in our short stay and it was even with a slight tinge of sadness we bade them farewell the following morning, and despite the very early start not before enjoying their delicious cooked breakfast to set us on our way. So Keigwin will now be our automatic first port of call when next we're in Penzance, and would be somewhere we'd confidently recommend to others. Thanks once again Stuart and Fran!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your kind comments, we are very pleased we were able to accommodate you at short notice. We look forward to welcoming you back to Keigwin in the future. Kind regards Fran

17th September 2023:

Het verblijf was zeer aangenaam hoewel we liever een rustige kamer hadden aan de achterkant van het huis. De straatkant lijkt soms een snelweg en is te luidruchtig. Wij hadden nochtans tijdig geboekt. Toch is deze plek een aanrader.

As above, really. I enjoyed my stay and the genuine welcome. Expert car parkers will avoid the trees and the ample deposits by the local avian population!

There are many restaurants but I had little time to patronise them. The beach walk is very agreeable and the town is good for explorers.

12th September 2023:

Fran and Stuart were very friendly and welcoming and extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent especially the homemade pancakes. Car parking was mostly easy but we struggled on the day that the rugby was on hence the 4 on location. The only reason for 4 on the facilities was that the shower pressure was very low and the toilet cistern was so slow to fill up. Would definitely go back. Thank you for your great hospitality.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your comments and explanation of scoring. Your room and the shared bathroom are being 'done up' this winter, so hopefully the slow fill toilet will be sorted and hopefully the shower pressure can get sorted as well. Rugby days are always a little more difficult to find parking, especially when its a big team like Bath visiting. We always try to warn guests on those days. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards Fran

My stay stay at the Keigwin House was only for one night but I was was given a warm welcome by genial hosts, Fran and Stuart, whose friendly and easy-going natures made me feel quite at home.

20th January 2023:

I have been staying at the Keigwin for several years now. Fran and her husband are always very friendly and helpful. Fran goes out of her way to ensure I have everything I need, such as plant milks. The rooms are spotlessly clean, there is a TV. I share a bathroom, but even in the middle of summer, there is never a queue. The breakfast is beautifully cooked and very tasty. I will visit again soon.

There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in Penzance, but be aware that most shut at 8pm in the winter. However, there are some excellent pubs, such as the Admiral Benbow. The shopping centre has lots of interesting individual shops, much more fun than the usual chain stores.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your kind comments, lovely to see you again. We look forward to seeing you in the summer. Best wishes Fran

We and family have been 3 times. Fran and Stuart are so friendly and helpful (even offer fresh milk for our bedrooms rather than UHT!) Bedrooms spacious, large beds, lovely fresh linen. Good shower. Breakfast fantastic, even offer lovely pancakes with fruit - all beautifully served. One word - FAB-U-LUS!!

Outdoor swimming pool close-by. Fish and chips a short walk along the promenade which we enjoyed eating overlooking the sea. If on Scillonian for first time, take a sea-sick tablet even if sea very calm (we always do, mostly not necessary). Get to pier early to get luggage put in containers which gives you chance to get good seat on boat (reclining seats with tables best).

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I hope you had a great holiday on Scilly. Best wishes Fran
