A great stay in Penzance! The property is centrally located, with easy access to the train station, the bus, the town center, and the walking paths. Staff were wonderful and incredibly kind at every turn.

We were very pleasantly surprised by our stay in Penzance, the tavern staff made us feel welcome for the night we were staying, during dinner and at breakfast. We had a huge room and great view of the harbour, with the morning sun bursting through the window. Of course, the amazing weather made a big difference We were aware parking might be an issue, so were prepared for a bit of a struggle to find a space, but we knew that before we arrived! I hope we can make it back down to Cornwall again soon because we will definitely be aiming to stay here again.

We had a friendly greeting despite arriving at a busy time in the pub. We had dinner in the pub, which was lovely in terms of both the food and the atmosphere. The bed was super comfortbale and the shower was great. The view was so lovely.
