The Experience
Everything at Venton Vean is tip-top. Immensely helpful owners Philippa and David moved from London with their family and have transformed a dilapidated Victorian house into a supremely cool and elegant B&B. Moody colours, mid-century design classics and interesting reclamation finds make for a stunning and eclectic interior. Food is a passion – expect freshly ground coffee in your room and some of the most tantalising breakfasts around: Mexican, Spanish, even a good old full English will have you dashing down in the morning. Arty Penzance is a joy as is the craggy-coved beauty all around.

Wonderful boutique B&B...a real find! Always welcoming, stylishly and thoughtfully furnished, homely and a lovely breakfast with a scrummy granola. Also very peaceful part of Penzance. Have been back many times!

I love Venton Vean. I have stayed here twice now and I'm hoping to visit once a year for the rest of my life. Philippa and David are perfect hosts: they really enjoy looking after you. The breakfasts are so exciting. David is a brilliant and creative cook, and his homemade jam is a whole story in itself. Jam may be a small detail, but then Venton Vean is all about the details, from the halloumi and spinach for breakfast to the Pure Nuff Stuff in the bathrooms and the garden flowers in the bedrooms. These details all contribute to a uniquely fun, relaxing and memorable experience.

Another wonderful stay We had a second visit to Venton Vean and enjoyed our stay even more than the first time. Everything here is top notch. Philippa is the perfect host. She’s super friendly, goes out of her way to make you feel at home and her recommendations are spot on. And her husband David makes the most scrunmy breakfasts. Already planning a third visit.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Venton Vean. We were warmly greeted by Philippa upon our arrival. The room was spacious and most comfortable. Breakfast was truly amazing; all offerings are made by Philippa. Our stay at Venton Vean contributed in making our first visit to Cornwall a memorable one. We would love to return one day.
