Top Penzance Hotel Reviews

Hotel Penzance Harbour View

8/10 Good

"This hotel lived up to it's billing standards are very high in all areas there is no lift which could be a problem for some visitors. I would use it again."

Artist Residence Penzance

10/10 Excellent

"Unusual "arty" decor. Very clean. Rooms and beds are very small. Breakfast NOT included. Staff friendly and cheerful. Good location."

Higher Faugan

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay and well worth the money. It's a family run establishment so you get the personal touch and some extras like much needed milk in the fridge. It's a drive into an estate so the location is peaceful and pretty. All amenities were kept to a very high standard. We'll definitely be looking to stay here again next time I'm down in Cornwall. Penzance is down the road for all your shopping and Porthocurno / Lands End are a 20 minute drive away. Ideal location."
