Walking distances to train and bus station. There is a bit of a walk up stairs with luggage. No elevator. The rooms are named after different places in area. The one downside is the dinning area needed reservations and stop food early. Luggage storage great. Communication prior to visit was amazing. Would stay there again and overall enjoyed visit.

Overnight stay

A lovely stay & my only regret was that I hadn’t booked a table for an evening meal so we had to go elsewhere.

Great Location

Fantastic location and room 3 was quiet. Room was fine except there was no outlet for hairdryer next to a mirror. If you need or like to dry your hair in front of a mirror then this room isn’t for you. The staff were pleasant and the hotel was overall great bargain for what we paid. The hallways were honestly a mess and they need a revamp. You get what you pay for. The senior menu is offered to those over 60 y/o. Do not get the prawns and cold French fries. Prawns were fried and just like warm. My mistake I should have ordered from main menu.

The location of the Longboat Inn is fantastic (very close to the train station and in downtown Penzance). The beer selection is great and the staff were great (particularly Ryan). The rooms are small and we had difficulty getting any hot water in the morning.

Parking is not available at the property, it cost 10.50 for overnight parking. Room was basic and in dire need of refurbishment, black mold in shower and inadequate flow. Dining was average, a request for bread rather than crackers on a cheese board was denied with a comment that we don’t have bread!!! Blatantly untrue as bread was served with soup. Breakfast again basic although the chef and waiter did everything to be obliging. Noisy at night as traffic continually flowing by.

Amazing place. Rooms moting too special but we knew that. We just wanted a bed to rest near the train station. But we got a nice quite room with a nice view of the sea. The bus station and train station was 1min walk. Lots of food places and local shops. The Inn had a good breakfast they taylored for our vegan requests. Their lunch and dinner menu had lots of veg and vegan options and specials. Always check the specials! Plus, nearby was a lovely Indian restaurant serving food inspired from Rajastan. And we found a Chinese serving lots of vegan dishes. We asked about how it was being prepared and cooked and our vegan waitress said she helps prepare any of the veg and vegan dishes and that it is cooked separately just like if you have an allergy. Most importantly it was chap and tasty. Overall, this Inn was the best place for us and we would stay there again.

Great owner & super friendly, attentive staff. Located one block from the Penzance train station. Breakfast included was hearty & delicious. Dinner one evening, also wonderful. Staying in this multi-hundred year old Inn was like being in Penzance when our grandparents lived there 💙
