Hello! We’re Alison & Paul and we’re the owners of The Upper Deck B&B at Britannia House which we founded in 2016. In 2024 Whilst running our former Marazion B&B we were finalists in the AA Friendliest B&B in the UK - and you’ll see from our consistently excellent reviews that we haven’t lost our passion for providing our guests with a relaxing and memorable break.
You can be assured of a very special stay in our Upper Deck or Lower Deck suites, and after a good night’s sleep, Alison’s fabulous freshly cooked breakfasts will set you up to explore this stunning area of outstanding natural beauty.

Our guiding principle is to offer exceptional accommodation and service, to make our guests feel they are ‘home from home’ and to make their stay with us in Marazion one to remember and be somewhere they’d love to stay again.
We believe that there are a few prerequisites that an exclusive bed and breakfast must have - relaxing décor, very comfortable beds, immaculate bathrooms, fresh linens, fluffy towels, fresh flowers and a hearty breakfast with plenty of choice and personal service. These are the essentials that we combine with the highest standards of personal service. But don’t just take our word for it … Please check out our reviews.

Being an exclusive B&B with only two spacious guest suites we are able to offer high quality private accommodation where you are unlikely to bump into or be disturbed by other guests staying with us.
We are sensitive to guest needs and remain unobtrusively on hand to offer tips on the best places to eat or visit, to ensure you make the most of your time according to tides and weather.
Private guided tours or boat trips with Paul on his Gaff Cutter ‘Lily’ moored in St Michael’s Mount Harbour can be arranged.
We hope to welcome you to stay with us at our Britannia House B&B in the near future.

"We were delighted that our Upper Deck B&B was inspected and handpicked as 'Very Special Place to Stay' by Alistair Sawday's Inspectors in 2021.
To remain accredited and feature in this prestigious guide was costing us around £750 per year. Whilst being included by Sawday’s Guide was one of our lifetime business goals, after 5 years in the guide we have reluctantly decided to cancel our membership in order to reduce our overheads and keep our tariff competitive.
We have not lowered our standards in any way… we’re just being prudent and thrifty.
Before cancelling our membership I copied our fabulous Sawday’s reviews onto our guest book testimonials page just in case you’d like to see what our Sawday’s guests thought of us.

The Upper Deck B&B is accredited as a Cycle Friendly Place by Cycling UK - We provide secure undercover cycle storage, use of a comprehensive tool kit, puncture repair kit & track pump. We have washing and drying facilities and a deep bath for soothing away those aches and pains after a hard days riding.

As a hospitality business based on the South West Coast Path we’re registered as a ‘Way Maker’ - a small but essential part of the experience for the 9 million hikers each year who follow part or all of the route and need B&B accommodation on the UK's longest and best loved National Trail.
In common with many Cornish B&B’s we prefer a minimum 2 night stay, but do accept one night stays at our discretion.
Please talk with us - we may be able to make it very convenient indeed to stay with us for two or more nights… ;-)
