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.

Great harbour views

Room was clean and we had a great view of the harbour. Great shower which we feel is important. We had the full Cornish breakfast it was quite modest in size and quality.

Our room was clean, spacious, and had a fine view of the sea. The hosts were affable and eager to help, and the food was excellent. There is a large outdoor swimming pool nearby with a heated section that is well worth investigating.
