Really cracking weekend away with a mate to watch the rugby. Staff and locals very friendly - excellent beer and a lovely breakfast. Would reccomend
What a Gem. We stayed overnight before catching the Scillonian ferry. Really friendly staff, great welcome. Bar area is roomy & cosy with an enclosed outside seating area. Great choice of beers including Spingo : Proper 'ansum. ●Lovely spacious room with tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Mini fridge with milk, natural yogurts & orange juice. We needed to be away next morning early & it was a delight that Breakfast was served in our room at time we requested. It is served from 07.30. Breakfast was plentiful & delicious, very well presented. Thankyou Karen & staff. We had a fabulous stay & look forward to returning
Really surprised at how nice the place is for the price! By far the best hotel we've stayed at in our 80-120 pound price range. Very clean spacious modern rooms, friendly barkeep led us up and showed us around. generous amenities tea snacks hot chocolate nice big fluffy towels everything id expect from a hotel twice the price. There's a hot breakfast included and the fridge is stocked. Couldn't be happier.
One of my favorite places to stay. Great rooms, friendly service and amazing breakfast
Lovely stay, gorgeous breakfast served in our room. Friendly staff and great comfy clean room
Absolutely amazing. The staff were super friendly and very attentive even with our children. The food was to die for!!!! The best steak I have had and cooked to perfection kids food was lovely and BIG portions. The special of the day was delicious and a very large portion and we can't even begin to rate the desserts. Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars as it deserves it.
Had a lovely experience here. Ended up here accidentally when looking for a place to eat without any success. They weren't doing food, but the bar staff and locals were super helpful in trying to guide us to places that might be able to feed us. Nethertheless, we decided to stay here and have a drink and some crisps while playing games (frustration and pop up pirate) that were available for us. It was a very homely feeling place, and the bar man offered to share his holiday chocolate gift with my girls as we were missing our late lunch. Felt very taken care of and welcomed here. Highly recommend if you are on the outskirts of Penzance, right on the coast, and looking for a local pub. Nice beer to top it off, too. I had the potion No.9. Lovely. Thank you.

Set along a narrow street dotted with 18th-century buildings, this traditional pub and B&B near the quayside is a 4-minute walk from Penzance Harbour and a 10-minute walk from Penzance train station.
