Mount View Hotel B&B

We had a really enjoyable 2 night stay when we came down to watch some rugby, and were so well looked after by the hosts — all the staff made the place feel very welcoming and homely. I stayed in Room 2 with my two sons and we all felt very comfortable and safe throughout our visit. The beds were great and we slept well both nights. Breakfast was a real highlight. The full English was excellent — well cooked, huge, and exactly what you want to set you up for the day. The location is also a big plus: less than a five‑minute walk to the coastal path, and for those who don’t fancy the stroll, there are regular buses from just outside straight into Penzance. We chose to walk and took our time, getting into Penzance in around an hour. St Martin's mount is 40 mins the other way. There is parking available, just make sure you register your car on arrival to avoid a fine. Downstairs, the bar has a lovely, friendly local atmosphere. It was great to see local beer and cider options, including Rattler, and the locals were very welcoming. My kids absolutely loved the pool table and it made the whole place feel relaxed and family‑friendly. The building itself is a bit tired in places, but this is clearly reflected in the price and it didn’t detract from the warmth of the stay. For value for money it was exceptional. Overall, a friendly, homely place with fantastic hosts, brilliant breakfasts, and outstanding value. My kids have already said they would book again next year — high praise!

Fantastic breakfast that set us up for the whole day. Lovely staff and locals.

We totally enjoyed our stay. The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. I can't say enough about the breakfasts. There was a buffet of lots of fresh fruit every day, a selection of cereals, and the cooked breakfasts to order were fabulous. We aren't drinkers, so we didn't go into the pub at all. There was a minor plumbing issue one evening, and they did everything possible to rectify it that evening. Unfortunately, the plumber wasn't able to get the part till the next day, but we were able to use a shared toilet on the floor. I would stay again without hesitation.
