Chris Heidi welcome you to Penrose, their elegant Victorian home. Be prepared to be spoilt when you book into Penrose BB as Chris Heidi pride themselves on hospitality and the kind of finishing touches that make a visit memorable. Built in 1890's, Penrose retains a wealth of original features, including fireplaces in most of the large rooms, cornicing, ceiling roses, chandeliers, high ceilings and stained glass windows. Even though Penrose is elegant and grand, when you walk in you will experience a homely and laid back atmosphere.

There is free WiFi and a computer available in the dining room. The garden is for all to share and there is off road parking. If you come by train, let us know and we can come and pick you up. Children, pets and dogs are welcome as well as groups (weddings etc). There are lots of amenities close by, including: The Eden Project (10 minutes away), Lost Gardens of Heligan, Coastal walks, Cycling, Fishing and Sailing, Golf courses galore (including one in Lostwithiel) and National Trust gardens houses. Lostwithiel is a hidden gem. It is a mecca for eating fantastic food, with the local pubs, restaurants and takeaways all within a 5/10 minute walk of the house. Lostwithiel is also the antiques capital of Cornwall, plus it boasts tea shops, markets, church, castle, river, parks, boats, museum and a train station.
