It was in a great location in Penzance with a sea view. A large bedroom that was cleaned daily on request. Very comfortable stay. We didn't try the hotel restaurant as we ate out at local places.
The unique and original rooms at the 17th-century Artist Residence are each uniquely designed in an eclectic, rustic style, with a curated collection of limited edition artworks throughout.

We have wanted to stay here for a while. Really lovely room with nice attention to detail. Radio on when you come in the room and smelt divine. Great tea and coffee (and lots of it!). Lovely shower and beautiful toiletries. Bed super comfortable and the room had the added benefit of air con so we were the perfect temperature! Also loved the personalized bags for the hair dryer, spare adapters and slippers.
Lovely breakfast! The tea provided in the room was nicer that the one used for breakfast.
Staff excellent and very welcoming.

For us the location was perfect. The very generous hosts stored our main luggage for a week until we returned from walking on the South West Coastal Path. The bedroom was comfortable and breakfast was served with a chat and a smile.

The only drawback to Penzance is the long journey to get there from most of the UK. However there are great rail links, including direct trains to and from Cardiff and London Paddington, also of course Bristol and other major cities. Other than that, it has everything you could wish for, although to be fair there's not much beach, and none at all when the tide is in. A ferry trip to St Mary's Isles of Scilly is a must, there's a daily service that gives you about four hours on the island, which is well worth doing. Penzance has an abundance of shops, many of them "quirky", but also everything you could need. Great place for food and drink options. I have no hesitation in recommending Penzance for a relaxing break.

Penzance itself is pretty but small.
Penzance itself is pretty but small. But within a walk or a bus ride (or mix of both) you have St Michael's Mount, Newlyn and Mousehole, and a whole lot of beaches and views. We were carless - with a car, the whole tip of Cornwall is there for you.
And if you are there on a Friday, the Italian buffet at the Lugger Inn is excellent!

It's a cute town with lots of quaint shops but a bit "touristy", we enjoyed going to Lizard Point and Lands End. There are many little cafes and restaurants with a lot of variety in the types of food so you can probably find something you like.

West Cornwall is a great place for birdwatching and Penzance makes a great base from which to go out each day.
It has lots of good restaurants and pubs/bars for those wanting them but also the usual stores for provisions if self-catering.
There are boat trips from the harbour, a few galleries, cinema and beaches both at Penzance and in other places nearby.

Its a great base for a trip in this area.
Its a great base for a trip in this area. We loved walking along the coast, parking was easy. We visited the Lido for a morning bathe in the sunshine (you need to book this). We walked to Newlyn and drank lovely coffee at Lovells, we ate some beautiful breakfasts - particularly Artists Residence, Lovells and The Honey Pot. We ate tasty food at the Mackerel Sky Bar and Tolcarne Inn in Newlyn, You can easily walk to Mousehole for a delicious cream tea at Four Teas Cafe. We had a drink in The Admiral Benbow and drove around the coast visiting St Ives, Lands End and The Lizard (stopping off at Ellies Soul Kitchen). We visited old tin mines and The Minark Theatre for an evening show. All in all, a great stay and I want to come back and go to the Isles of Scilly next time.

Josh is an extremely friendly and helpful host. He gave us a lot of insider advice as to what to visit in Penzance and also in Brighton (where we had a blast in Snooper's Paradise!). During our stay, he always made sure that we have everything we needed. The hotel is well-located and the rooms are comfortable and equipped with everything that one might require. The breakfast room is neat and offers a variety of healthy options, including fresh fruit.
Had such a lovely stay here and highly recommend. Room was lovely, cleaned daily every time I left, peaceful, and wholesome. You can tell the owners really take pride in their hotel/ B&B and they were very friendly. Location was great as well, easy to walk to from Penzance station, very close to the seaside and lots of nice restaurants & pubs nearby.
Simply perfect in all respects and that’s coming from a couple of rather picky customers. If you are looking for a room of boutique hotel standard in a perfect location in Penzance without paying a silly price look no further. Ali was wonderful and so helpful to accommodate a last minute change of plan due to family illness.
Breakfast was excellent and location was good as I had a car, but there is a regular bus service into Penzance and the bus stop is right outside the Hotel. Room was clean and warm and had a double bed and one single bed, so good for a family with one kid,
My sister and I loved our room with a beautiful ocean view, comfortable beds and pillows. The staff were wonderful - friendly, helpful and efficient, and breakfast was very tasty. We had a lovely stay at Hotel Penzance!
