The hosts were lovely from the moment they answered the door. The room was clean with no other issues. We had a continental style breakfast included, but can't comment on it as never made it up in time to partake. You can also have a cooked breakfast for an extra charge.
The property is roughly a 20min walk from the train station, but we did figure out later that it is on a bus route.
Overall we couldn't fault the property or the hosts and would happily recommend them to anyone. 😊

The property is spotless, exceptionally well-maintained, peaceful, and very quiet. The secure parking with CCTV right in front of the property gave me extra peace of mind, and Karen was welcoming, friendly, and accommodating throughout my stay.

The only thing to note is that food and takeaways aren’t allowed in the rooms, which I understand is likely to help keep the property clean and prevent insects. It would be wonderful if, in the future, guests who prefer ready-to-eat meals could use the dining room instead.

Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would happily give it a 10/10. I would definitely recommend this property to others!

Had a nice stay. Drove 5 hours up due to an event but had to get there by 9pm for check in so was a rush. They put us in a lovely room. Nice and clean and the downsides were the location of our room. Exhausted and woken around 7 due to breakfast as our room was next door to the breakfast room. The next morning after the event again woken to noise from next door, loud banging, dogs barking and hoovering - very tired for our 5 hour drive back.

We had a lovely stay at Pensalda, Karen and the family were welcoming, lovely, helpful and always found the time to talk to us & our son. The property was lovely, cosy and only a 10 minute walk into town.
We would definitely return if we were to come to Newquay again.

Our stay was lovely, the newly built little cabin was a good size for my partner and I with our little baby, a comfortable double bed with the option on a single aswell, but the host folded the bed quick and easy to make space for our travel cot. A nice ensuite and all the breakfast options were good. Our little one especially loved the garden area with the fishes and lights in the evening. Thank you for our breif but enjoyable stay.

The hostess was cheerful and friendly, and the room scrupulously clean. The continental breakfast had a good cereal selection, fresh fruit, and yogurt. The family had some dogs which didn't interact with guests, but were noisy in the early morning. It didn't particularly bother us, but some might find it disturbing. No outside food is allowed in the house, so it would have been nice if there was a picnic table available, for nights when we wanted to sample some of the local grab-and-go options (like the excellent fish-and-chips shop a few minutes walk away!) Overall, a pleasant stay!

We loved every bit of our stay at Pensalda Guest House over this long weekend. Our room was spotless really, so neat and clean, with a partial sea view and we had a delicious breakfast everyday, included in our package. Karen was so friendly and welcoming, always carrying a smile and she made sure our stay was nothing less than being at home! It is at an excellent location to the town centre and so nearby to the beach. We will definitely be back and will be recommending to our family and friends visiting. We would highly recommend the stay here :) Thank you Karen.

Friendly and welcoming

Located on the outskirts of Newquay, this guest house is an ideal base from which to explore the North Atlantic coast of Cornwall. Karen and her son are very welcoming and friendly and put you at your ease immediately on arrival. We stayed in one of the two garden rooms which - although somewhat dated in style - are comfortable and have all you need for a pleasant stay. The garden area itself is lovely and is especially enchanting in the evening under the glow of the lights and the pond. We elected to have Karen's full English breakfasts at extra cost although the simple continental style offering might be sufficient for some people. The full English version got full marks from us and set us up nicely for a day of exploring. The Pensalda is situated in a residential area so - other than a pub - there is not much choice if you just want to walk to a venue for dinner rather than drive into Newquay, although we were lucky to find that the Pine Lodge Hotel opposite the Pensalda had just started offering meals for non-residents. We ate there on both nights of our stay and the food and service were excellent. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay at the Pensalda and would be happy to return.

Friendly staff in a very clean guest house. We had a room round the back, so access was through the back gate. If you don't like animals, particularly a dog this isn't the place. I'm ok with dogs but as we were strangers the dog did occasionally bark aggressively, I had kids with me, the 7 year old did not like the dog. I wasn't aware of the dog from the initial booking, should have read reviews as reviews do state it. We opted for continental breakfast rather than a full English which costs £5. Whilst this is very cheap we weren't made aware of a vegetarian option. The packaged pastries for the continental on our first morning were out of date. We were told breakfast started at 8.15am until 9am so a very small window to get breakfast. The room was very clean, bathroom small but clean. The hot water tap was very hot, whilst there is a sign to warn you, hard to wash hands in the basin for it being extremely hot. Taps were very hard, I have slight arthritis so struggled to close them. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The biggest issue we had was WiFi, or lack of. We had no access as we couldn't get it in the room, you could get it at the front of the building which was no good at all. All in all it was a nice family run guest house close to the beach and other attractions.
