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.
A five star stay with Ali and Mike and Elvis the dog . They were gracious hosts, the room was excellent in decor size cleanliness. I can’t remember ever having a better stay, both myself and Steph my wife would like to thank our hosts for a great stay and a much needed break. We would like to congratulate them on
achieving the no.1 slot of all the guest houses in the Penzance area for quality and value - a well deserved accolade for all their hard work. Can recommend Holbein House to everyone thinking of staying - five stars ! ***** 😀
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.
The best hotel we have stayed in during our visit to England and Wales. Ideal location near town centre. Very comfortable room with temperature and bedding suited to the climate at the time (Sep). Self-service breakfast in fully equipped kitchen was all that we asked for, yet gave others wide scope to suit themselves. Staff gave us a friendly reception, helped with our luggage, and guided us to the places we wanted to go in Penzance.
The location was great - very easy to get to any places within Penzance. There were lots of tasty restaurants nearby as well, shops and art galleries too. The full English breakfast was absolutely delicious! The room was warm and the spacious. I also loved the antique decorations around the hotel, very nice touch. Moderately quiet location, although admittedly we stayed during week days, not sure how it is on weekends.
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.
A really stylish boutique hotel that I booked last minute, It's really quirky and cool, and comfortable, and the location is superb right in the centre. The restaurant was fabulous and really great value for the quality of the food served. The staff were really friendly and efficient and were extremely professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend the residence to anyone visiting Penzance
Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful, from helping with bags, to a delicious cooked breakfast to order in our room at a time of our choosing. Location is perfect for Scillonian ferry - could actually see the quay from our room and walk across the street with our suitcases. Also a short walk to the Penzance train station. Loved the full bath, which was welcome after traveling all day!
Mike and Julie were excellent hosts. The Breakfast was absolutely delicious... we had a cooked 'Cornish' every morning. You also got fresh fruit, cereal, fruit juice and toast. It was by far the best B&B/hotel in Penzance. Very well maintained. Spotlessly clean. Sea view. Free parking. We would recommend Warwick House highly to anyone looking to stay there.
Bay Lodge B&B in Penzance is a good base for exploring the SW Cornwall area with on-site parking. Very good full breakfast along with very friendly and helpful owners. Rooms are small but comfortable. No sitting room other than the dining area means it is not the place to hang out. But lots to do close by – by foot, bike or car.
We stayed here as a stop before going over to Marazion.
The view was great. We also had a fabulous dessert that evening. We also asked for a room change due to stairs, and they accommodated us immediately and helped with luggage. This is a typical, old European hotel, but was clean and met our needs.
Cosy place at a good location and friendly staff. We had a comfortable stay.
Breakfast was very good and Alan very helpfully let us store our luggage at the hotel even after check out time as we had a late train to catch back to London.
Would love to stay here again the next time we're in Penzance.
Great location on the seafront. This classic British hotel was warm, airy, quiet and the staff were friendly. The weather in December was awful but the tearoom and breakfast room have large windows with sea views so we could storm-watch in comfort. I enjoyed my stay. Definitely coming here again.
Lovely room with parking, located nicely away from the touristy areas but still minutes from Penzance and less than half an hour from attractions like lands end, Sennen Cove and St Michael’s Mount. Great hosts who were always happy to help and give advice!
Appartments near the centre of town of Penzance. With parking spots on site (sometimes it's busy and full, then it is a bit hard to find a place on the streets nearby). Kitchen and washing machine. Rooms are spacious.
Very nice and cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. Penzance is in a walking distance. Everything you need is there in the house and Hamish is always willing to help. Definitely a good base for a holiday in Cornwall!
Top location in trendy Newlyn - within walking distance from the center of Penzance. The inn itself is very clean and cozy & staff is super friendly and helpful. Also - the breakfast was delicious!
