Glad we got tickets for the Minack Theatre and explored the Gobal Telecommunications Museum, took the Coaster bus several tiimes, including to Land's End and walked the Coastal path to Sennen. Enjoyed the Penlee art gallery, especially in the midst of reading "Summer in February." Enjoyed a meal at the oldest pub, and at the Longboat Inn. The staff at the Info Centre were the best - gave us so many tips and set us on the right buses.

i like walking on the promenade, along to Newlyn, took the Mounts Bay coast path to Marazion, took the bus to Trengwainton gardens- lovely to see the magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias - interesting walks round the gardens and a lovely cafe with friendly staff and good food.
Visited Trewidden gardens by bus and also took the train to St. Ives- a lovely scenic run along the coast.
Penzance town has a nice selection of shops and it is worth exploring the back streets and the area round Chapel street. On previous visits have been to the Morrab gardens and other parks. Penzance is easy to walk round, has a good bus service and the tourist information staff are very knowledgable and helpful.

Went in the end of February, it was a quiet time with everything closing by 10pm, and last buses leaving early, but it's just as lovely if not more so as any other time of the year could be. Even for hiking, if you get ready for the wind, the rain, the fog, the mud and the cold.

Penzance is a small town which has many quirky shops, art galleries , restaurants and coffee shops. What does let it down is the amount of old falling apart buildings and many shop closures - not unlike most small towns in the UK at the moment and in need of council investment.
A lot of people seemed to be on holiday although I would imagine it being much busier in summer, which is also a trend with the boom of holiday cottages in Cornwall. Hopefully Penzance does have enough locals living in it that it will still thrive and not just become a tourist town only like so many towns in Cornwall and around the UK as local communities are the heart and soul of what makes a town.
Very close to the excellent Praa sands beach. A modern and comfortable flat, fully equipped with everything needed for self-catering. Even some games in the living room cupboard. Very clean, and a very friendly and prompt service.
Excellent location close to the beach, and in easy driving distance to supermarkets, to Penzance, the Penwith peninsula and to Porthleven. You can start walking the coast path straight from where you are towards Porthleven. To be warmly recommended. We had a great time!
This place is amazing! Every space is beautiful, cozy with a very special energy, the room is very nice decorated, super clean and you have a delicious breakfast included. The location is perfect! Close to the center, the beach and very close to places like st Ives and Lands End.
Ally and Mike were very kind and friendly from our arrival, make you feel like home. We are definitely coming back soon!
The best place we have stayed in Penzance and in Cornwall. Highly highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at the Bay Lodge. It was the perfect location from which to explore Penzance, St Michael’s Mount, Newlyn, and Mousehole. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and Clare thought of everything that we might need. It was an easy walk from the train station and a great central location. Breakfast was yummy and made to order!
We stayed at the queens hotel as we had a wedding in Penzance, we absolutely loved the hotel, all the staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble, the hotel has a very family, homely vibe, the breakfast is delicious, all fresh local produce, great quality, we will definitely stay here again,
Very cosy house. The owner thought of everything, the house has all you need for the holiday with family or friends, plus it’s pet friendly.
This was our third time in Penzance, but first tending a cottage instead of hotel, and we will stick with cottage offers from now on :).
Strongly recommend!
Hosts are Sally & Alan—very nice and helpful with daily journeys. Breakfast served individually in A pleasant dining room, for all guests. Room was well appointed, bright, with a small bathroom. Everything very clean and well planned. The best choice of B & B’s in the Promenade area of Penzance.
The staff all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable.
The full English breakfast is excellent.
The pub is busy and welcoming. The value for your money is the best in Penzance, and the bus service is literally right outside the door. What more is there to say?
We love artist in residence hotels and have stayed at most of them now. Wonderful locations and the Penzance one was particularly well located in the nicest part of the town with lovely artisan shops, coffee houses and bars. Lovely staff and lovely decor.
What a location! Perfect for the short stay with the family. We had everything we need to enjoy this breathtaking city. The hotel is very comfortable and is in the centre of Penzance, close enough to everything- bars, restaurants, beach.
Very comfortable and clean. I loved the in-room breakfast. Excellent shower. Good location close to Penzance promenade. Landlord kindly looked after luggage while I day-tripped. Communication with hotel very courteous and efficient.
Hotel Penzance is a beautifully located venue in an elevated position providing stunning views of the bay. Rooms are well appointed and the restaurant is designed to provide a spectacular outlook. Food and drinks were all good.
Breakfast was fabulous with many choices (all delicious) and beautiful presentation. The breakfast room is cozy and staggering guest times is brilliant. The location was great for walking to Nelwyn or downtown Penzance.
The location is great -close to Penzance and so close to beach. the people who run the hotel are very nice, friendly and lovely. the room was clean and nice. the breakfast was awesome- very tasty for great price
The hotel was wonderful and very quaint, and the innkeepers were so charming and affable. We had a lovely stay. They identity your room by but a sign with your first name on the door. We will be back.
A very nice hotel, very conveniently located for Penzance train station and connections to the Isles of Scilly. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was very good.
Cosy cottage perfect for a winter trip to Cornwall, snug lounge with wood burner and comfy furniture. Easy access to St Ives (via beautiful coastal road) Penzance and Newlyn.
Location excellent for onward travel or exploring Penzance. Friendly hosts, comfortable room, good breakfast. also it’s quiet even in the busy part of Penzance.
Nice cozy hotel and good location between Penzance and Newlyn, right on the coast. Friendly team. We only stayed one night and did not use the restaurant/bar.
