Welcome
Penryn House is a welcoming, dog-friendly bed and breakfast in the historic fishing village of Polperro, on Cornwall’s beautiful south coast. Set just above the centre of the village, it offers a peaceful place to unwind while remaining within easy walking distance of Polperro’s winding lanes, harbour, and coastal paths.
Whether you’re visiting for coastal walks, time by the sea, or simply a change of pace, Penryn House provides a comfortable and relaxed base from which to explore this special part of Cornwall.
The Hotel…
Relax & Unwind
After a day exploring Polperro and the surrounding coastline, Penryn House offers inviting spaces where you can slow down and feel at ease. Guests are welcome to relax in the lounge, enjoy a drink from the bar, or settle in with a board game and a good book. On colder evenings we will light the wood burner too.
The atmosphere throughout the house is informal and unhurried — a place to return to after a day out, rather than a place to rush through.
A Home Away From Home
Our rooms are comfortably furnished and designed with rest in mind, offering a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Thoughtful touches and a relaxed approach to hospitality help create a stay that feels personal without being intrusive.
Off-road parking is available, making arrival and departure simpler in this famously narrow-laned village.
Dog-Friendly Stays
Dogs are very welcome at Penryn House. Several of our rooms are designated dog-friendly, allowing you to enjoy your time in Polperro without leaving your four-legged companion behind.
We’re always happy to share local knowledge on coastal walks, dog-friendly beaches, and places to eat nearby. For many guests, a holiday simply isn’t complete without their dog, and we aim to make both you and your companion feel at home.

Perfectly Positioned
Penryn House is situated in tranquil surroundings close to the heart of Polperro, probably the most picturesque of Cornwall’s fishing villages where the working harbour nestles among the quaint narrow lanes and whitewashed cottages.
From the house you have easy access to the Coastal Path, where walks offer breathtaking views, or just a short journey will let you explore many other interesting attractions in the area such as The Eden Project, National Trust Properties, such as Cothele and Lanhyrdrock, and the National Parks of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor. The area is also rich with art and craft, whilst the more activity minded can enjoy local riding, golf, watersports, the Adrenalin Quarry and, of course, the beaches and fishing.
