- Hugh (10/5): Dunedin 20th September 2022 - I spent a very nice 4 days in the Dunedin, warm friendly atmosphere. Room was spotless and just what I wanted. I hope to stay again before Christmas
- DEREK (10/5): So glad we chose the Dunedin - The owners made our stay like a home from home. Nothing was too much trouble from booking a taxi to helping understand the vagaries of the Canadian mobile phone that resisted my efforts. Really clean, comfortable and welcoming. We stayed two weeks and felt sad upon leaving. Many thanks are due.

- V (8/5): Comfortable. - Comfortable. Landlord helpful. No problems.
- Paula (10/5): Penzance for a week - We had a very nice stay. John is very friendly and helpful. The house is 10 mn walk from the center in a lovely room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Spotless, excellent value and close to everything
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a lovely guesthouse!
- Verified traveler (10/5): The Dunedin - A very nice and comfortable en-suite room and very clean. An excellent location. No cooked meals due to Covid but option to have a continental breakfast delivered to the room each morning - suitable table and chairs provided. There is also a small fridge in the room.
- Hannah (8/5): Lovely stay - Lovely little inn, good location and a 10minute walk into town. Room was very spacious with TV, small dining table, wardrobe, and kettle! They had good precautions due to COVID but still did a daily service to clean the rooms which was nice.
- Mehboob (6/5): Disappointed - The pillow and mattress were very uncomfortable.
- Rui (10/5): Good place to stay in Penzance - Good place to stay in Penzance, close to everything. Good Covid measures.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Disappointing - Good location within 10 minutes walk into town. The room was dated but clean however, not comfortable. Mattress/bed very creaky. Could clearly hear creaky noises from the room above. Didn’t get breakfast despite paid for; on arrival we were informed that it was room only rate and there would be an extra charge if we wanted breakfast. Wish this would have been communicated to us beforehand. Asked politely for extra towels for one day but was rudely refused by the owner who clearly didn’t really care about her guests and their comfort. Overall a very disappointing place and wouldn’t recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): great stay - Great stay at the Dunedin. They are taking Covid cleaning very seriously so we felt safe the whole time we were there. Great location in a quiet part of Penzance but easily walkable to the city centre.
- Deryck (8/5): - Very comfortable accommodation. Friendly staff and good location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We liked the comfort, the cleanliness, the breakfasts and the welcome of our hosts, John and Linda who were lovely. The only minor criticism is that we could have done with more shelf space in the bathroom as being older we each have our own collection of potions, powders and pills!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Linda and Nicole provided the best accommodations and breakfast service. The Dunedin is located in a quiet part of town, but still a short walk to the shops and pubs. The room was clean and tidy. Definitely would book again.
- Diana (10/5): Formidable stay in Penzance - Staying at John and Linda's was amazing! I was looking exactly a relaxing cornish atmosphere. Linda treats her guests every way she can, I adored their breakfast..... without forgetting everything is so clean. Location is excellent. I was a bit scared as i was without car but location is central and Penzance is very well connected.Last but not least Linda is gorgeous with weather forecast...better than the official websites. Thank you for making me feel home at your home.
- Pik Siu (8/5): - 各方面均很好，但床不舒適，窗簾太薄，很早被陽光照醒。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Warm welcome, good facilities, excellent breakfast. The only downside was that our room was too warm for comfort, with no way to cool it. Even with window open on a cool day (15C), still too warm. Perhaps just this room. Still more good value than discomfort.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice stay. Recommended. - Quiet location (apart from seagulls, but you really can’t be spared anywhere in Cornwall). The room wal fairly large and comfy. The bed maybe a little too soft for my taste. The bathroom is small but functional. The shower has a nice thermostatic valve so plenty of hot water and pressure. Breakfast is cooked every morning fresh to order, with plenty of eggs options! Very nice stay. Also the location is pretty close to both town centre and the promenade, and the station. The owner is very welcoming and friendly and has made us at ease prociding advice on many fhings to do in Penzance and around. Definitely recommended.
- Klaus (10/5): Schönes und gepflegtes viktorianisches Haus - Das Haus befindet sich in einer angenehmen und ruhigen Wohngegend ca. 20 Minuten Fußweg vom Bahnhof/Busbahnhof u. ca. 10 Minuten Fußweg von der Strandpromenade entfernt. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Frühstück ist gut und umfangreich. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Innenstadt, Restaurants und Grünflächen/Parks sind schnell zu erreichen.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Zentral gelegen - Recht guter Service, liebsvoller Frühstücksraum mit einem persönlich angerichteten Frühstück. Sehr gut in Penzance gelegen.
- Patti (8/5): - The facility itself was rather average. However, all staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Willis (10/5): - Staff was vrry helpful. Hotel was clean and close to the beach. One of the best parts of this trip.
- Rambler (6/5): Good central location. - Overall experience good, but decor stuck in the eighties, needs updating.
- Verified traveler (10/5): More than what you would expect - The staff all went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as possible. The single room I was in was designed to use the space very efficiently. It was very quiet and always well cleaned. It was a delightful stay.
- Cris (10/5): A gem in Penzance. - An exceptional experience, we spent 3 days in this fantastic and premium Guest house. The feeling is of being special, pampered by the luxury furniture, decor, facilities. Room was exceptionally clean and tidy with complete absence of dust (a feat that I have rarely experienced in British hotels). John and his wife (the landlords) were very welcoming offering perfect advice on neighbourhood amenities, restaurants and things to do. We would rate this 5 out of 5 without a doubt. Price wise we were surprised by the great value for money. Do yourself a favour and book this BnB for your visit to Cornwall, you won't regret it!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely guest house but beware tiny single room - Nice guest house with lovely home cooked breakfast. My (single) room was clean but absolutely tiny with a slightly strange ensuite arrangements and up in the attic so only a velux window for light. Not sure what the other rooms are like but this particular one should be offered at a significant discount.
- TomC (8/5): Value for Money Guest House - A more than adequate establishment. I have refrained from giving The Dunedin an excellent rating because I have never stayed in a place that exceeded all expectations in all areas. The room was clean, neat and had all one would expect and need. Breakfast was an experience in itself; first class menu, a wide range of cereals and fruit and if anyone left the room still hungry I would be amazed. My wife and I were given room no.1 which had enough hanging and drawer space along with a practical en suite. As our room was on the top floor it became a bit tiresome trudging up so many stairs, but then we are seasoned bus pass carriers.
- Glen (8/5): Enjoyable stay at Dunedin guest house. - Lovely stay the Dunedin we will go back there if we visit Penzance again
- Sharon (10/5): Excellent Cornish BnB - This was a comfortable and stylish BnB with warm, engaging hosts and a delicious breakfast, filled with options. We were looking for a place to use as a base while we hiked the South West Coast Path and couldn't have chosen better. We were provided with maps, restaurant suggestions, and hiking advice. Each night we returned from a full day out looking forward to the comforts of our restful surroundings. I would gladly revisit, both Cornwall and The Dunedin.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good B&B - Lovely stay. Nice and clean room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Very good breakfast! We definitely recommend this B&B and we would go back again
- sandra (10/5): an excellent short break - we were well looked after and very happy with our 2 night stay here with excellent breakfast. John and his wife certainly know how to look after their guests!!
- Janmit (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay - We stayed here for 3 nights. Lovely room and the breakfasts were really good with plenty of choice.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
- Ray (10/5): Cornwall-Penzance - Hotel provided excellent service, breakfast, very friendly. The hotel is conveniently located to several beach areas and sights to visit. We had a terrific stay at the Dunedin, highly recommendable.
- Jane (10/5): Lovely and cosy place! - We stayed in Dunedin for 3 nights. The owner of Dunedin is very friendly and kind. The family room we stayed was very clean and comfortable. The area is very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was also lovely too. Cornwall is such a beautiful place and we enjoyed every moment.
