Cosy little room on the top floor. Comfortable and met my needs perfectly. Located just a street back from the promenade, and handy to town, supermarket, and a walk along the seafront.

Clean and comfortable room.
We had an enjoyable overnight stay before we caught the ferry to the Scilly Isles. The room wasn't huge but it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were 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.
Shower was excellent

The Chiverton was spot on, clean and comfortable with everything on hand. The house is very close to Penzance promenade so excellent for walks by the sea and to get into town.

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...

Excellent, comfortable accommodation, superbly managed by welcoming, considerate hosts. Moved us to a lower floor than planned when learning of a mobility issue. Would highly recommend this property.

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 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.

Alan is a great host - very helpful. Property is clean and well kept. Upgraded linens (and a new bath mat) would be an improvement. Laundromat nearby. Walkable to dining, shopping, sights, bus and train.

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.
