Penrose is a homely and luxurious Bed & Breakfast only 6 miles (10 minutes drive) away from the Eden Project. Chris and Heidi would like to offer you a warm welcome to their beautiful and charming Victorian home, Penrose Bed and Breakfast, looking over the historic town of Lostwithiel in the Fowey Valley, Cornwall. We have 6 bedrooms, which consist of 3 large king size and 3 versatile and large double/twin/family all with ensuites.
There is more information on the Accommodation icon on the top right of this screen. We also accept children and dogs! Even though our rooms are on a par with a 4 star hotel, we are still just a Bed & Breakfast. It is just us, Chris and Heidi (oh and Flo the cat) giving you the best personal service we can. We are well placed to use as a base to explore the whole of Cornwall.
The Eden Project, local gardens and the nearest beaches are a 10 minute drive away; the north coast 40 minutes and even Lands End is only just over an hour. At night leave the car and walk into town for some of the best offerings in food and drink you will find in all of Cornwall.

The Black Prince called Lostwithiel 'the fairest of all small cities'.
Once the Duchy Capital, this small town has a character all it's own, proud of its heritage, independent, yet friendly and happy to share its many charms.
It is truly a hidden gem.
Lostwithiel is the antiques and 'slow food' centre of the Duchy.
Its shops, antique markets, auctions, gallery, museum, pubs and restaurants draw people from far and wide.
Here, you can browse for paintings, antiques, ceramics, lace, jewellery, eco products and old books, local food and produce; and enjoy excellent food in the pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways.

We look to help with the needs of all our guests and the following will show you what we can do.
Travelling to Lostwithiel can be done in several ways.
The most environmentally friendly is by train (Lostwithiel has its own station and trains stop at regular intervals), or by National Express coach (the stop is in the middle of town).
We are more than happy to come and pick you up.
Directions to Penrose are on the Contact Us page.
Lastly you can travel by car.
We have parking at the back of the house, off Scrations Lane (please let us know if you are bringing a van - anything larger than a Sprinter needs to park in town), and we can park up to 6 cars (we do have to double park to do this but we manage this rather well!).

Room 1 is a first floor bedroom with a king size bed, plus comfy seating for two people, and a little window seat.
The ensuite is huge, with a 900cm x 900cm shower, basin and toilet - this is half of what used to be a bedroom; the pictures on the wall are of flowers from the local gardens.
We redecorated this room so it is has a William Morris'esk' feel to it, which we have used from looking at Lanhydrock House; a local National Trust property.
We assume the Liddicoat's who built the Terrace knew the Robartes at Lanhydrock.
