Great location and easy flat walking distance to the beach and main streets of Penzance. Very friendly and welcoming local hosts, generous with local knowledge and assistance. Quiet place to stay with comfortable beds, nice room and excellent reconditioned bathroom. On street parking only, but I didn't have any problems with parking close to this B&B.
