"I have stayed in hotels all over the world this remains one of my favorites. The quaint hotel rooms give amazing views of St. Ives and the Bay. Just Beautiful."

"This is an old building, so expect quirky! My room had a sloping floor. Everything was clean and comfortable. Bathroom sparkling and modern. Breakfast hot and cold options."

We have visited Penzance on many day trips during summer months and often thought it may be nice to visit 'out of season'. Additionally we have always felt that The Dolphin looks a nice place to stay, with an excellent location by the harbour. We travelled down on the overnight train from Paddington (an experience in itself), and was not disappointed with our choice of The Dolphin to stay. The weather was kind to us, and we had three lovely days in and around Penzance.

Had a lovely stay in the loft! The views were fantastic, and the location was amazing—perfectly situated with easy access to other areas. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend staying here!

This was one night stay before an early ferry crossing and it was just the ticket. Small twin room with everything we needed for a great nights sleep.
Nice people who were helpful and friendly.

Superb grounds, and views over to St Ives and the sea.worthy of stately home gardens. Fabulous building, great food and comfortable room if tired, single glazed, blinds broken and hot water system not up to standard. If sorted it could be 5*.
Very steep walk to the beech and town

The Pod was amazing, we don’t think the photos do it justice! We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and would love to visit again. Kevin and Michelle have thought of everything and were excellent with communicating details for directions and check in/out times. The location is brilliant, so close to St Ives and Carbis Bay, and the main bus route is right on the main road. Would highly recommend to anyone considering staying here.

We went to Penzance for a short business trip. This cottage is very clean and it only takes 15 mins to walk to the beach. The owner of the cottage was friendly and very helpful. During our stay we did our own cooking. All kitchen utensils were there for us. I highly recommend people to stay in this cottage
