A beautiful property…from the rooms, to the grounds, to the owners-who were both quite wonderful, and so accommodating in every way! The breakfasts were top notch-always fresh ingredients and professionally prepared by one of the owners. Can’t say...

Over the week we tried a good variety from the breakfast menu and the cooking was superb, all breakfast items were made with love using Cornish ingredients, or where possible ingredients from the UK. The owners take great pride in the presentation...

Everything. Fabulously located in the hills above Penzance, Sancreed House is a diamond. Beautifully appointed and oozing with class, we experienced warm and genuine hospitality from our tremendous hosts, Pablo and Grove. We cannot recommend it...
