Top Penzance Hotel Reviews

The Lugger Inn

8/10 Good

"As a family of four, we stayed for three nights and had a great experience. The room was clean with daily room service. The restaurant was excellent—the included breakfast was great, and dinner was lovely, especially the pizza. We also appreciated that the service charge was optional. Overall, it is a fantastic base for a stay in Penzance, Cornwall."

1 Bed Cabin. Parking. Private & secure Garden. Pets welcome. Nr to beaches/walks

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely 3-night stay at the cabin. It was clean, cosy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable break. The location is excellent, with beautiful beaches and plenty of scenic walks nearby, making it a great base for exploring the area. Debi was a wonderful host—friendly, welcoming, and quick to respond to any questions. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway."

The Coach And Horses Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Located between Helston and Penzance on the A394, The Coach and Horses Inn is ideally situated for exploring some of Cornwall’s most beautiful locations. A short walk will take you to the stunning beaches, while a few minutes drive brings you to the historic town of Marazion, home to the ‘must visit’ St Michael’s Mount. We had a comfortable stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well suited to our short stay. This is a straightforward, no-frills B & B property with the essential amenities, and it met our expectations. Breakfast was a highlight, with a good cooked english breakfast providing a great start to the day. For international travellers, it's worth noting that air conditioning is not a standard feature in many UK hotels, so it's worth checking before booking if this is important to you. Similarly, bar fridges are not commonly included in UK hotel rooms, so it's best not to expect one. Overall, we felt the property offered good value for money."

Hotel Penzance Promenade

8/10 Good

"3/5 – Decent stay, but tight on space Overall an okay experience. The room was quite small for two people on a week-long trip — storage was limited and we genuinely struggled to find space to open and access our suitcases properly. It's also not a modern hotel, though that's probably fairly typical for the area. There's also no lift, which made carrying heavy luggage up to the room a real struggle. The hotel is right next to a main road, so it was noisy even with the windows closed. On the plus side, the staff were helpful throughout, and the chef was friendly and made a nice impression. The location is a real strength — easy access to both bus and train, so getting around Penzance and beyond was convenient. Given the price we paid, though, it didn't quite feel like it matched the value — for the cost, I'd have expected a bit more in terms of room size and amenities."
