Welcome to The Lynwood Guest House in Penzance, United Kingdom.

0n 29 September 1891 the discerning Mr Jenkins purchased from Mr Berryman a new dwelling. Number 41 Morrab (Sea Shore) Road in Penzance.   At this time Queen Victoria had been Queen of England for 55 years. Isambard Kingdom Brunel had just played his part in the great Industrial age, building his bridges and ships. The Newlyn School of artists, Henry Tuke, Norman Garstin and Stanhope Forbes were painting their enduring masterpieces of Cornwall. Gilbert and Sullivan had written Iolanthe and the Pirates of  Penzance, while Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had still to pen yet further adventures for Sherlock Holmes.

Some 90 years later Number 41, became The Lynwood Guest House, a Victorian built retreat for weary travellers and holidaymakers to Penzance and surrounding areas. The Lynwood Guest House still retains its Victorian feel but with a sensible portion of modern conveniences for the comfort and pleasure of those who need to relax in a home from home.
