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.

We came in February so not very busy.
We came in February so not very busy. Many places to walk around, lovely garden in the center of town. Great beach, St Michael's Mount very close by. St Ives also not far away. Great place as a bae to see Cornwall.
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!
Very clean, comfortable, well equipped holiday home in a lovely quiet village location. Just a few minutes drive to Penzance and with easy access to all area of West Cornwall. Kind and helpful hosts who live in adjacent property, always available for help and advice, but respectful of the privacy of their guests. Dedicated parking area with access to an electric socket for charging an electric car (for which I paid a very fair additional cost for the electricity consumed). Highly recommended.
The Union Hotel has bags of character and historical significance. It feels like an old building that has seen grand days. It's worth taking some time to look at old photos on the wall, read up on the history of the various rooms, and explore the old features. It was tidy, clean, and in a great location for Penzance attractions, for St Michael's Mount, Lands End and the Minnack Theatre. The shower was excellent and the breakfast was very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel was lovely and the service was incredible. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices. The location was spot on. We were based in Penzance and did day trips from there. The only thing was the room was very small and had a slight funny smell. I believe the hotel had recently changed owners, so was undergoing some renovation. I thought the room could have been slightly better based on the rate we were paying. But other than that, it was great.
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.
This seaside hotel is really lovely. It's at the north end of town, a short walk to the center, but nicely located.
Our room was small, but very workable. It did not have a view of anything wonderful, but it was quite and cozy.
The bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom is updated and has nice amenities.
Parking is available in a secured garage with prior arrangements.
Breakfast was buffet style.
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.
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.
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,
The location was perfect for us .We needed a short stay in Cornwall before our son heads off to Australia. Penzance was the ideal location for our visit. The hotel offers good rooms and a nice choice of food. The staff were friendly and polite.
Very nice, near new build and very quiet area.
Room had everything you needed, even internet tv which was really nice.
Owner was very friendly and has obviously put a lot of effort in to the property.
Is an easy 12-15 min drive to Penzance.
Very nice property, some of the areas around hotel are in need of updating, but don’t be put off. Very nice staff and food was brilliant. Lovely balcony outside restaurant overlooking pool and Penzance harbour / Town. Would recommend.
1. Quiet, sheltered location surrounded by mature gardens.
2. Perfect location for exploring key tourist locations. Plenty to do within 30 minute drive.
3. Key amenities in Newlyn and Penzance within 5-10min drive.
A lovely hotel in a very convenient location for the centre of Penzance, the railway station and the ferry port. A lovely room with a comfortable bed and friendly and helpful staff.
