    Lovely bar and restaurant. Staff were great, room was all we needed and comfortable.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location with a comfortable pub vibe. We appreciated being given a quiet room. We also enjoyed the little library in the pub area… very cosy on a cool day! The breakfast was also very good with vegetarian options.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was convenient to the train station and the meals, room and staff were awesome! It was a very warm night but there was nothing they could do about the heat- we had a fan in the room which helped a lot.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Value of breakfast was superb along with the excellent taste. Atmosphere was great for both Pub and rooms. As someone not from the UK the shower could have included a sign for how to operate it.

    You can have a great breakfast and a fine dinner in the same premises

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The room and en suite bathroom were clean. Beds were comfy, perfect for those coming off of the South West Coast Path like us. Delicious breakfast, and the hotel’s restaurant also offered good dinner. Staff were very helpful too, especially with luggage storage post- checkout.

    Great location

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Very close to train and bus station Clean. No musty smells or or odours. Comfortable beds. We really liked and would stay again. Beds were comfortable. Not enough surfaces to put things. There were two people that shared and we needed a larger shelf in bathroom, needed a bedside table on the other side of the bed where the electrical outlet was. We used a chair to put stuff on because there was not a bedside table where it was needed. The shower could have been made the entire end of the bathroom, it was awkwardly laid out.

    Location was great and morning breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. Parking was easy to find - a bit pricey but easy to get to hotel. Staff was great - got us in early and so helpful!!!! Bathroom was very tiny and difficult to get around in.

    Good location for the railway station.

    Food and service.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location near the train station with easy access to south coast path was great. Charming pub/dining on main floor was very convenient. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room was basic but comfortable. Took a while to get hot water going in the morning. Windows were older so street noise wasn’t really blocked. Generally wasn’t an issue for sleeping though.

    Great, location right next to the train station and central Penzance. The breakfast was amazing and service was wonderful. The room was very clean and the building itself had a lot of charm. Staff was also very welcoming.
