We had a wonderful weeks stay at Penfoye; such a beautiful house in a beautiful location. We were very sad to come home. I'm hoping to book here again!

Loved the location - so tranquil. The house and garden were perfect as was access to the river. I could quite happily have stayed forever!

It was a privilege to stay at Penfoye, the housekeeper had put fresh flowers throughout. The dogs loved the garden. Direct estuary access was great. The owner made sure that you felt at home, even during a week of Cornish mizzle, Penfoye was a wonderful place to stay ...
