Sophia's B & B was absolutely wonderful. It is right on the Promenade, where you can walk everywhere, and is impeccably furnished in each room. Very modern bathroom and great shower, incredibly comfortable and luxurious bed, and Lynn's breakfast was delicious. Lynn was a terrific host, and told us of a wonderful restaurant to eat dinner, as well as a... More

Lovely room, great views from the front to watch the world go by, would highly recommend this płace to couples wanting a nice base to explore penzance and surrounding area. The owner was very nice and the breakfast of a good standard, no doubt there are cheaper places but this one is worth every penny.

My wife and I recently visited Sophia's B & B on the promenade in Penzance. We had eaten there on numerous occasions over the best part of the last five years or more - whenever we were in the area. This time we decided to stay in one of the B & B rooms also. We can honestly say that... More

Sophia's was booked for my wife and I, we had no idea what to expect. Our room look out over the bay towards St Michael's Mount. It was a wonderful stay, not only was the room suberb, beautifully decorated, the ensuite bathroom was terrific too. We had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant and breakfast next morning. Lovely menu, both... More

Sophias was really wonderful. Couldn't be in a better position, the view was to die for. Lyn our host was warm and welcoming. She made us a coffee and biscuits on arrival. The room was large and soooo comfortable. Great bed. Also the bathroom was very swish. Would have like to stay longer, but we were on a tight schedule.... More

My husband and I spent two nights here in one of the lovely upstairs rooms with sea views. The room was spacious, airy, and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and the shower in our ensuite was a big walk in one with gorgeous water pressure (whereas other places we have stayed in the UK have showers that give only a... More

What a treat! Our group stayed in two of the very stylish clean rooms and couldn't have been happier. Lynn is a great hostess. After a long drive down we booked in for dinner too and I don't think we could have found anywhere better. I would advise anyone to stay here.

What a Fantastic stay. It is an awesome B&B with a really great location - the room was large, clean and very comfortable. My only regret is that I had not booked earlier and so we were unable to stay another night. Thank you :)

My boyfriend and I stayed at Sophia's for a long weekend in May. We picked it based on the stellar recommendations on Tripadvisor and were not disappointed. It is quite possibly the best B&B I've stayed at in the UK. The hotel itself is a boutique operation (only three bedrooms). Each bedroom has a direct view of the sea. Our... More
