We only stayed for an overnight but cannot fault our hosts who were very helpful in recommending places to eat and also made a superb breakfast the following morning.

The Holbein House is a special place to stay since you see and feel that it is the project out of the heart of two people who wanted to start a new project after a long life in London. With much caring for the details they have turned an ancient villa into a place to stay where you feel welcome. Very special to us was having really great breakfast in the wonderfully decorated dining room at a long table with the other guests from many different countries and starting to talk first about our travels and then turning to more philosophical questions. All the best for you and your ‚project‘.

Holbein House is in an ideal position to get into the town, harbour, sea front and bus/rail station as well as Penlee Gardens. Peaceful setting and lovely garden around it (with beautiful resident cat!). House is beautifully decorated with lots of small details which make it feel welcoming and warm. Stayed in twin room which was a good size and although only stayed for one night, could imagine staying much longer very comfortably. Shower really good too! Breakfast choices were excellent and food really good. Ally and Mike wonderful hosts, and Elvis a big bundle of doggy loveliness.
Tips:Really enjoyed pottering around Penlee Gardens and House. Also recommend visiting the Lido. Ally and Mike can make excellent recommendations too on the local area and things to do.

Stayed at Holbeinn House for the second time for one week and again we had a great stay!! The owners Mike and Allison are lovely people and we already consider them as good friends.❤️ They are serving a great breakfast and the location of the B&B is perfect! It is near the promenade and Penzance is a nice town from where you can discover Cornwall. We will go back tot Penzance and Holbeinn House next year in May. Cannot wait!! Greetings and lots of love, Alain and Annick( big hug and kiss for Elvis and Molly too)

Ally and Mike have been fantastic hosts: friendly, patient and very helpful in terms of advice for outings and restaurants. The Holbein House is well-located near a park and Not too far away from a Bus stop. There ist a lot of light and a mixture of modern and traditional furniture, which is really attractive for travellers. Their dog Elvis ist a friendly and cute pet.
Tips:Wardrobes could be a little bit more spacious and easier to handle when pulling out the drawiers. You should be communicative, because you share the breakfast table with international guests each morning.

Phantastic house, top located and beautifully decorated. We felt like duchesses and dukes. Mike & Ally are wonderful and caring hosts. You will experience first class service.

Mike and Ally are terrific hosts. Along with Elvis the golden retriever we were made very welcome. We stayed in the twin room as was the only room left and it we both slept very well. Breakfast was brilliant as we shared a very large table with the other guests which we enjoyed immensely. It was just so good to chat with other guests who had come from the U.S and Canada.

Situation in the lovely Penzance just minutes away from the bay, it’s the perfect spot for a few nights stay for those who wish to explore West Cornwall. The facilities were excellent and the breakfast was great too. Parking was possible in front of the house on the road and convenient to travel to/from. The beds were great and would definitely recommend others to stay here too.

Our second visit (of many hopefully) to this wonderful B&B run by Ally and Mike. Outstanding hosts who go above and beyond to welcome you and make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. What they offer is more like a 5 star hotel and yet they mange to make everyone feel so welcome and cared for, their attention to detail and their personal touch is incredible - it felt like we were staying with friends. It is no wonder, and certainly testament to their hard work and passion, that Holbein House is so booked up. They certainly deserve their high ratings and rave reviews...and more. Thank you both again for such a wonderful stay - we shall definitely be back!

Holbein House provides the perfect escape from the day to day. Ally and Mike have created a beautiful, welcoming home for guests. Along with Elvis, the dog, and Molly, the cat, you have all you need for a relaxing stay. Ally is warm, chatty and helpful. You truly feel at home. I returned home so chilled that I am already planning on returning!
Tips:Holbein House is ideal for exploring on foot. You are minutes from the sea. Turn right into Newlyn for a working fishing village with the freshest seafood, unique cinema and art gallery. Turn left at the sea for Penzance for more art, bookstores and nautical pubs. Walk further to reach the magical St. Michael’s Mount. On street parking is easy at Holbein House. Breakfast is superb and the shower was fab. 5 stars for sure!

So glad we found this accomodation. The location was perfect for exploring penzance and the surrounding area. Lovely large bedrooms and comfortsble beds. I slept really well. Breakfast to die for with plenty of choice. Ally and Mike are so easy going, nothing is too much trouble and are a font of knowledge for places to visit, getting around and which eateries are a must for the evenings. Just love making a fuss of Elvis, who is always pleased to see you. Would certainly stay at Holbein House again and hopefully in the not too distant future.
Tips:First time we have actually stayed in Penzance. Usually its a day trip. Penzance has so much to offer even in the quieter months. Getting around is easy either by train or bus. A visit to St Ives is a must, but we also walked to Newlyn and Mousehole.

Superb guest house with lovely and generous hosts, Mike and Ally. The friendly dog, Elvis, always threatens to steal the show and people's affections. The house is very well decorated and stylish, with attention to the small details. The choice of home made banana bread for breakfast was lovely. I enjoyed the community feel of breakfast with all guests gathered around a large breakfast table. Through our conversations I was introduced to Singapore, Australia and Switzerland. A truly cosmopolitan guestlist stays here. It felt like coming home to friends staying here. Lovely
Tips:Lovely guesthouse about 3 minutes walk from the seafront and promenade. Superb location for Penzance, Newlyn and Marazion, potentially all in walking distance around the bay if you feel intrepid. Restaurants we enjoyed included The Bakehouse in Penzance, Mackerel Sky in Newlyn and Penlee House Garden and Art Gallery, Penzance (more a good lunchtime cafe) If stairs and steps aren't your thing there is a flight of outdoor steps to the guest house entrance, so that might be a consideration for you. Otherwise highly recommended.

Very friendly and hospitable hosts Ally and Mike, who have very high standards and are keen to ensure that guests have a comfortable, very clean and well-appointed room, together with a superb breakfast (catering for preferred dietary requirements too). On our first night (of three), we needed to depart by 7:15 a.m. the following morning, yet were still provided with a first-class self-service breakfast. The owners have a delightful dog (Elvis) and cat (Molly) too; neither are allowed in the dining room. We felt very much at home here.
Tips:Because of the location, it's a bit of an uphill trek on foot from Penzance railway station and 'Scillonian' ferry quay; allow 30 minutes, or take a taxi. Also, be aware if in a room facing towards Alexandra Road that that the traffic can be a bit noisy until late evening. Finally, get the hosts to show you how to use the unusual kettles, when wanting to make tea or coffee.

Holbein House ist absolut empfehlenswert! Das Haus wurde vor 2 Jahren komplett renoviert und mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Alles ist darauf ausgerichtet, dass man sich wohlfühlt. Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich aber gleichzeitig modern. Ally und Mike (nicht zu vergessen der verschmuste Haushund Elvis) betreiben das Haus mit sehr viel Herzblut und Herzlichkeit. Morgens gibt es ein vielfältiges und qualitativ hochwertiges Frühstück. Man kann sich am Buffet bedienen inklusive hausgebackener Waffeln und veganen Alternativen, und Ally bereitet zusätzlich die typisch englischen Optionen frisch zu (Eierspeisen in allen Variationen, Würstchen, Speck, Bohnen, Porridge usw.)

Mike and Ally give a first class friendly service. Breakfasts are brilliant, accommodating everyone’s choice. You would go a long way to find better. Rooms are comfortable and serviced to a high standard. Their local knowledge is really helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were kind, and worked hard to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Holbein House is situated in a good place which made getting around Penzance or catching the buses or train to nearby places easy. It was good value for money. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them or going again.
Tips:We came by train so we didn’t have a car but guests who did seemed to find a place on the street to park with not much problem. Penzance is a nice place in itself but a great base for visiting nearby places. The bus service is good and easy. St Ives was easily accessed by both train and bus. There is lots to do within the area. There are lots of nice, reasonably priced places to eat. Mike and Ally’s recommendations didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed all the evening meals we had and all the staff in every place were very friendly. We even went out to the St Ives brewery at Hale on the Friday night which they advertise as Pizza night and enjoyed some lovely craft beers and the best Pizza ever, freshly cooked from the food van. You can also take a boat trip from Penzance to the Scilly Isles. We didn’t have time to go but guests who did enjoyed it.

The hosts (and dog) were lovely. We could leave our bags at the hotel as we arrived earlier then the check-in time. The hosts even readied our room earlier because of that and let us know when it was ready. Breakfast had a great selection and the hosts made full English breakfasts in several variations. The room (at the top of the house) gets quite warm during the day, but it is easy to cool it down for the night. The shower knob is slightly difficult to turn once your hands are wet.
Tips:This is a very lovely place, not too far from the train station as well as the beach and other bus stops for the Land's End Coaster as well as several restaurants and a Lidl.

This is a superb place to stay in wonderful Penzance Cornwall. We spent 8 nights at Holbein House. From the very beginning we were impressed by the style, comfort and facilities at Holbein House. The proprietors combine a high level of professionalism with a warmth and friendliness. The breakfasts are amazing with a very wide range of continental offerings and the huge, scrumptious cooked breakfasts are fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay with Mike, Ally and the lovable Elvis - the resident friendly and docile dog. We so loved this stay, we shall return later in the year. Having travelled fairly extensively, this B&B rates as outstanding. We can unconditionally recommend this comfortable, friendly B&B - the standard of service, care and commitment by the owners makes it a very special stay indeed.

The best B&B I have stayed in. Has everything you could want, and it is very evident how much thought and passion has been put into providing a really comfortable stay. A warm welcome from Mike on arrival and facilities explained and met Elvis, the most impeccably behaved golden retriever you could imagine. Bright, airy room, with plenty of space, sockets and storage. Full length mirror and tea and coffee making facilities. Well proportioned bathroom with the most fantastic water pressure in the shower, and complimentary toiletries. Al absolutely spotlessly clean, and thought given to surfaces for own toiletries and space to do makeup and hair etc. Fabulous breakfast in the beautiful dining room where again Mike was a great, attentive host. Choice of cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt and breads, including fresh homemade banana bread. Full English breakfast was spot on, with quality ingredients and beautifully presented. All cooked by Ali who popped in for a chat afterwards. Such an engaging, friendly couple who obviously love what they do, and it shows. If you want a really comfortable, quality stay up a quiet side street in the middle of this charming seaside town then I can't recommend it highly enough.

Me and my daughter really enjoyed our stay at Holbein House. It was easy to find, there was plenty of free on street parking outside. The room was clean, comfortable, and contained what we needed and wanted such as plenty of towels, a hair dryer, stuff to make hot drinks, and enough sockets for charging devices. Ally and Mike were really friendly and welcoming and made my daughter and me feel relaxed and welcome. There were a nice range of options on offer for breakfast and we really enjoyed a lovely breakfast. My daughter was delighted to meet Elvis the dog on arrival and then be told there is also a cat and a rabbit in residence. After breakfast my daughter got to meet the cat and the rabbit. Elvis remains the star though, what an absolute beauty he is, so friendly, intelligent and affectionate. We hope to return for another stay, next time with my partner. As my daughter said, "Mummy would love to stay here!"

Ally and Mike are perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome, offering to help us with tips on our swimming trip. Our room was spotlessly clean and there were lots of nice decorative and practical touches. Ally cooked us a perfect breakfast in a beautiful breakfast room stocked with everything you need.
Tips:Holbein House is ideally suited to walk into down town Penzance and also walkable from the station if you don't have too many bags. It is a 5 minute walk to the sea and a 15 minute walk to Newlyn for its art gallery and wonderful fish shops. The rooms are all very nicely done with very tasteful decor.

Loved our stay, our hosts and lovable dog Elvis were very welcoming allowed us to check-in very early on our arrival day. The full english breakfast was excellent, and enjoyed conversing with the other guests over breakfast. Pub and restaurant recommendations for Penzance were amazing. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Tips:Good location in Penzance, 5-10 walk to main pub/restaurant street and also the high street. Few minute walk to the sea front. Shower was spacious, warm and ideal water pressure. Bed very comfy. The dog Elvis is very well behaved in-case you are somewhat uncomfortable around dogs.

Two nights in October. A fine property in a pretty garden setting. The interior is most attractively decorated. All fittings and furnishings in the good size bedroom and bathroom are of a high standard. Very warm welcome from the charming proprietors who could not have been more helpful. Excellent breakfast with range of choices from continental to cooked. I was very happy to stay here.
Tips:I was able to park in the street near Holbein House at this time of year but it may be more difficult in high season. Eating takeaways in your room is discouraged so plan to eat out - there are many possibilities within short walking distance.

Are 5 starts possible? My only regret after staying overnight in Holbein House after ferry from Scilles (and before train back to London) was that it was too short! This is really a spectacular home, with warm and welcoming hosts. Our bedroom was gorgeous. Breakfast totally yummy. Short cab from Ferry (if you have suitcases) and equally short cab to RR station (again, suitcases). Communication was top notch, entry/instructions easy. The home is surrounded by an equally gorgeous garden in a quiet (except for the morning and evening rooks!) classic neighborhood of Penzance.
Tips:Absolutely positively stay for a few days. That is certainly on my future agenda .

Holbein House was simply the perfect place for us! Friendly, stylish & great location. We were staying here to complete a walking challenge and it then became apparent that it would be the Queen's funeral while we were staying. The response from Ally & Mike was to invite the guests to join them in their living room to watch the funeral together. Unbelievably, they provided a beautiful light lunch for us all before we went our separate ways. This demonstrates their natural care for those staying with them - all delivered with a light touch. And to top it all, the best nights sleep too! In a nutshell, high quality, friendly, relaxed - perfect for us! A cut above the rest.
Tips:Enjoy the relaxed breakfast around a big table! We had some great conversations with other guests over breakfast. This is not a stuffy formal place so enjoy the company!

The reviews and rating and excellent price attracted us first of all for our one night stay in Penzance. But we did not have any idea of the gem which awaited us. Even before meeting Ally and Mike we were impressed with the house, our room and the facilities. Our room was comfortable and quiet. It was the breakfast however that elevated our experience. We loved the long communal table which allowed us to chat to other guests. And the food was superb. A wonderful cooked breakfast but also everything else you might want. Ally’s banana bread was a highlight. The hospitality of Mike and Ally truly makes this a superb place to stay - we will return.
Tips:Holbein House is a little way out of the centre of Penzance but worth the 20 minutes or so walk, either along the promenade or via Penlee Park.

Holbein House was the most delightful surprise - a beautifully renovated house in a quiet street just minutes from the sea, and the centre of town. There are key boxes so you can arrive as soon as your room is ready and everything has been thought of to make your stay comfortable and fun - including lovely little touches like using coronation mugs at breakfast- which was delicious. I can highly recommend Ally’s banana bread! And we were beautifully looked after and made to feel welcome. Altogether much more than your average B&B.

We had a lovely week at Holbein House in May 2022. Our room was delightful, and everything was done to make our stay enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast room, the lovely garden, and the view from our room. It was so kind of Mike to give us a lift to the railway station at the end of our relaxing stay. I recommend Holbein House to anyone planning a stay in Penzance.
Tips:If you are walking from Holbein House into central Penzance, go up Trewithen Road and take a shortcut through Penlee Gardens, following the main path. Also, if you wish to see the Minack Theatre, Land's End, and St Ives, get on the Coaster open-top bus; it takes you everywhere, so no need to hire a car.

Fabulous B and B. Can't rate this highly enough. Where to start? Well, firstly the warm welcome by Ally put us at our ease instantly and the "Ally talk" was a great help to get us acquainted to the area and must go/see places. The rooms were spotlessly clean, well maintained and little things like a fresh bottle of water each day, lovely toiletries were appreciated. The breakfast was top notch, fresh fruit, yogurts and Cereals to start and then whatever you wanted, cooked to order. Homemade banana bread too! Both Ally and Mike are the perfect hosts and would do anything to help make your stay that extra special. Mike even drove us over to the airport to pick up our car rather than see us get a taxi. Must mention Elvis, such an adorable, friendly dog, who was there to greet us each morning. Well done Mike and Ally, you really have got it right.

An exceptionally comfortable and well arranged establishment. We were made very welcome by charming hosts who made it clear that they were readily available in the event of questions or issues; we had none. We have stayed in several locations in Enzance over many years and this was the best. I say this to the extent that Holbein House will be our first choice when looking for accommodation in Oenzance in the future.

The hosts are very friendly (including the dog) and made me feel comfortable and welcome the moment I walked through the door. Amazing cooked and continental breakfast, very clean and beautiful room and bathroom, very nice shower. Good location, especially if you want to walk along the coast or to nearby Newlyn. Penzance itself is a great place to explore West Cornwall and enjoy fresh seafood. The fastest wifi network was a little unstable at times, but there were two slower wifis to switch to, so that at least one of them was always working. No big deal.
Tips:- Argoe seafood restaurant in Newlyn - St. Michael's Mount (it's worth booking the tickets online, as you need one to access most of the island) - St. Ives including the Tate - Walk along the Coast at Land's End

This B and B is the best of the best. A beautiful warm facility hosted by the gracious and charming Ally and Mike. Our room was warm and embracing. The entire house is beautifully appointed with fine local art, and the floors in the dining room and kitchen are exceptional- worth the visit just to enjoy the floors!!! Full Cornish breakfast in the stylish dining room was followed by an enthusiastic bon voyage from Ally. You must stay here if you are traveling to Penzance!
Tips:Ask Ally and Mike for dining recommendations. They steered us to the nearby Tolcarne Inn which was exceptional- one of the finest meals we have enjoyed in some time.

We were treating ourselves to a few nights away in Penzance and we found a great place to stay in Holbein House. Our room was comfortable, warm and stylish, breakfasts were delicious and eaten in the lovely dining room, and Ali and Mike were really kind and welcoming hosts. Plus we had the bonus of the gorgeous Elvis(beautiful golden retriever) to welcome us too! HH is very well located with easy and interesting walks into town and easy access out of town for exploring. We'd highly recommend a stay!
Tips:Over a few nights we had some good pub grub in the Longboat Inn, The Dolphin, The Turks Head, and the Admiral Benbow (the latter three having the most atmosphere). We really enjoyed a meal at Sukothai restaurant, friendly service, good value and BYOB. The Honey Pot Cafe also v nice. We recommend exploring all the little streets on walk from Holbein House to town, through Penlee and Morrab Gardens, get a bit lost it's fun! Penlee House museum and gallery worth a visit and v local. Lots to discover!

Ally, Mike & Elvis gave us a very warm welcome. The room was lovely, clean and well furnished. Brekfast was continental and an extensive array of choice on offer (unfortunately we didn't do it justice as we were anticipating a bumping journey on the Scillonian III). A great location close to the seafront and an easy walk into Newlyn. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area and would recommend to others.
Tips:We walked into Newlyn to the Mackerel Sky Bar for dinner. Excellent fish tapas with fast service (but didn't feel rushed). It is a very small place and you are not able to pre-book, we went early evening in October and didn't have to wait. We later went to Lovetts wine bar opposite, again a small venue with a great relaxed atmosphere.

On top of the house being absolutely beautiful, the hosts (Ally & Mike) were just wonderful people, Ally’s mum Molly was delightful, and don’t even get me started on Elvis - their golden retriever that I absolutely fell in love with as soon as he greeted us at the door.
