The rooms were very clean and had a lovely modern shower. Bed comfortable with nice quality linen and towels. The decor in the dining room was beautifully done and the breakfast just delicious - and presently so nicely.

Carson house was very comfortable and the breakfast was great.
I would prefer a double duvet on a single bed - but maybe I'm being fussy.

I love that it’s near the train station to go to other places outside Penzance and the bus stations near by too. The locals are friendly in Penzance they give you some tips to what you can do down there and the best place for a Cornish pasty's. I was in bedroom 2 the single bed this was lovely cosy room en-suite too but the bed always made a sound when moving in the bed might need a new mattress soon.There was 2 occasions when someone outside my window somewhere was smoking weed and it filled my bedroom of it which wasn’t nice. Must be the pub owners next door to the b and b and the view of the window wasn’t nice. The walls were a bit thin too for other people staying there you could here there tv too. There was an occasion I could hear someone snoring next door to my room. I have to say the breakfast was good but I prefer fresh sausages and not frozen ones. I like the fact the b and b owners ask you what plans you had and they gave good advice what you could do in and around Penzance. They were always friendly and they like a laugh too. So overall a mixture of good and bad. The price I paid was £350 for 6 nights which is better priced than some other places.

The owner promptly explained how we could check in late and that worked. Excellent breakfast and helpful advice on travelling to Scilly Isles.

Carnson House is a clean, cozy property just footsteps away from the train and bus stations. The proprietors are welcoming and the breakfast is excellent!

My room was a small single with en suite. Looked recently modernised and very clean. Bed comfortable and breakfast good and cooked to order. Fine for a single night stay but I would have found the room small for a longer stay. Location very convenient near town and railway station. Quiet location. Owners friendly and helpful

Love the breakfast. The cornish sausage is so nice. Very good location to Saint Michael‘s Mount. It is opposite the train station and next to a pub and a Launderette.

2.5 / 5.0
Really good family run small hotel. Comfortable and well equipped rooms and great breakfasts. Handy for the close by railway station and only a few minutes walk to the harbour should you be catching the "Scillonian" to the Isles of Scilly.

2.0 / 5.0
An overnight stay on a drive around the West Country. Small hotel easy to find on the main road opposite the railway station a few minutes walk to the harbour and town centre, pub next door but still quiet at night. Friendly owner, small single room big enough for one with good bathroom. Excellent breakfast with delicious Cornish sausage as well as all the usual things. An early breakfast was offered if I had been catching the ferry to the Scilly Isles. Easy free parking on adjacent streets

1.5 / 5.0
Very close to train and bus station, and walkable to town.
Room a tad crowded and a little dusty, but the shower pressure was fantastic.
On the main road so traffic is understandably noisy.
Bed could have done with a new topper (springs were rather noticeable).
Breakfasts were the usual cereal and cooked options, but were very good.
2.0 / 5.0
One night stay close to railway station and Scillonian ferry. Ideal.
1.0 / 5.0
The B&B was close to the train station, it had friendly staff & good breakfast. Downside was that it was not made clear that the room was not ensuite & that I had to share a shower. If the price per night was lower then the experience would have been fine.
1.5 / 5.0
A very easy walk from the rail station, this hotel is small but comfortable. Room was a good size for a twin, breakfast was plentiful and tasty.
1.0 / 5.0
I will say that both the room and bathroom were very clean. The hotel is old but the matress on my bed must be even older than the hotel. The springs were popping through. It is absolutely the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on.
1.5 / 5.0
I felt the location is better suited for travelers arriving by public transportation as it is across the street from the train station. We arrived by car and parking was not available for guests, you were on your own to find parking which could be a problem during heavy travel season. It was adequate for our stay, no highs, no lows, which explains my 3 rating.
