A brilliant cosy home like hotel with a lovely well comfortable room. The door entrance system was explained at check in and was easy to navigate. Highly recommend staying here for anyone wanting to access the local area. It’s also a gentle walk from the hotel along the beach front into the town. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Check-in was great, friendly host, good location for harbour and ferry.
Attic room was a little cramped for one person. It would have been a problem for two. Comfortable double bed, broken kettle. Ok for a couple of nights.

The room was tiny so it was a bit difficult to have two suitcases in it. Maybe shelves instead of the closet would be more workable for couples. The bathroom was the smallest but most functional I've ever had. Alan was really helpful with the map to find the best places about and tide table for visiting St Michaels Mount. Would definitely recommend it.

Very good

Easy check in and checkout. Room was ideal for me and my 7 year old for a couple of nights. Not too far walk from the train station, about 15 minutes. Parking quite tricky but possible if you keep going round until you find a space. The owner’s instructions were very clear, we didn’t even meet them over the two days but got in and out fine.

I wouldn’t have booked if I had known breakfast isn’t served here.
Better places including breakfast at a lower price than Chiverton house
Wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend
They don’t respond to emails either.

The top floor room I had was just perfect for my 2 night stay.
It was spotlessly clean, comfy bed, lovely linens and soft towels. A great place to come home to after a day of sightseeing.
The house is very quiet (apart from the Seagulls lol!) and you’ll receive a very warm welcome.
It’s close to the seafront and a 15 minute walk from the railway and bus station.
Tea and Coffee provided and I was thrilled to find a Gideon in the nightstand.

Nice experience

We had a very nice experience at Chiverton. The host is really good. The stay is 15 mins stay from the centre, bus and train station. We can reach thr by walking alongside the beach. Worth for the money with all the essential facilities including a small fidge. Definitely visiting again...

Nice and clean, even though this is listed as a bed & breakfast please be aware no breakfast is included.

Tea making facilities are included but would have been nice if water made available to make tea or coffee, you may need to bring your own.

The road is not busy and just a turning away from the beach.

Hosts were very nice and friendly and helpful.

A guest house located in a lovely old house 10 minutes walk from the centre.

We had a room at the back, which was comfortable enough, but was a little small for us given we had luggage for 2 weeks.

Very clean, safe, well furnished with very comfortable beds and modern en-suite, helpful patron, train and bus stations are pleasant walk (about 1 mile). Well situated for tennis courts, arcade, lido and outdoor theatre/music in the park.Tea/coffee making facilities are in the room but breakfast is not available (reflected in the price); however continental style breakfast items can be purchased at nearby supermarkets (need to take some plastic knives).
Our room was in the attic with four flights of stairs; therefore if you have mobility concerns need to check the situation of your room. We found on-street parking nearby to be a challenge and it would have been impossible late in the day. This was a bank holiday weekend so perhaps was an exception.

Disappointing. After a long, tiring trip, we arrived at Chiverton to find no one there and door locked. A note on the door had a phone number to ring but not the international code. A kind neighbour lent us her phone. Had to park 5 blocks away. Room and shower stall were very small and - would NOT recommend for couples.

Really lovely stay - our hosts were fantastic: clean room, excellent breakfasts, lots of local knowledge and tips we actually used.

We arrived early off the night train, which was no problem at all: they have space to leave luggage and then they got our room ready early.

Really good location, near bus stops for exploring; a few minutes from the town centre and train station, but those few minutes are walking along the seafront. And you are nearer Newlyn.

Room very well equipped - tv, coffee, good shower, lots of plugs for charging. Secure out of hours (guests get extra keys).

All very COVID secure - we felt very safe here.

Our room was very comfortable with an en-suite and we slept soundly. Breakfast was substantial and the choice perfectly adequate, if not extensive. All-in-all a great experience, I would recommend anyone to stay here.

Perfect Stay at a Quality B&B

We stayed for a 3 night break. Alan & Sally were great hosts. Ideal place for us to walk to most local attractions like St Michaels mount, Mousehole, and all local pubs,restaurants,and local shopping amenities. Room was spotless,Breakfast was perfect.Also cereals, fruit, yoghurts and juices. Alan gives great advice where to visit. And very knowledgable about Cornwall in general. Had time for everyone, and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend staying at this great B&B.

Weekend in Penzance.

Couldn't get in at first, but that was as much because I had never used the key number lock before, not because the door wouldn't open!
Excellent place in a quiet part of town, 15 minutes or so walk to the rail station, good facilities and equally good breakfast. Would visit again and recommend.
