Elena is very friendly and accommodating. We decided to come at the last minute and she did her best to fit us in at short notice. We'd recommend staying with Elena and visiting the lovely town of Stratford Upon Avon which is only a few minutes away from the guest house.

Interesting place!!! This is not a hotel in the traditional sense, you don't need to interact with anyone. You simple get a code to get through the front door then a code for your room door. There is no bar or eating area.Communication via message very quick & helpful so no issues there. Location also very good, around a 15 - 20 minute walk in the center of Stratford. Room was large with a big shower/toiler room & an additional room so plenty of space, could do with a little TLC but i'm being picky. Overall a great value property.

The room we had was clean and extremely comfortable. The hosts were lovely and very helpful. The guest house had easy access to the city centre and was close to a supermarket. I would highly recommend Penryn and I would certainly go back there.

We stayed at the Penryn Guest House for 2 nights in April. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Check in is done through email or gmail so you don't see the owners unless you have a problem which they sort out straight away. …

Lovely clean, quiet room with adjoining single bedroom/dining room. Bathroom with super shower. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk. Microwave and Toaster. Although we never saw the owners we had good communication with them via email. Key codes to front door and bedroom are sent on check in day. Overall a very pleasant stay.

We had a ground floor apartment which was a little small for my wheelchair but it was clean, quiet, warm & well appointed, with pleasant staff and owner an good parking. Would certainly recommend for those who can walk. For wheelchair users, access to front door needs improving and WC and wash-basin are not easy to get to. But the owners have clearly made considerable efforts to help as many people as possible benefit from a short stay at the guest house.
