Situated just 5 minutes’ walk from the main shopping centre, public parks and museums of Penzance town centre, Chiverton House is a refurbished Victorian granite house with en suite rooms and free Wi-Fi. Plenty of free public parking is offered at the front of the property.

Alan and Sally were very welcoming and served up an outstanding breakfast. They provided us with tips on local walking routes. The location was superb, just minutes away from the Penzance boardwalk.

With wonderful views across Penzance Bay, Hotel Penzance offers award-winning cuisine and boutique bedrooms. Guests can relax in the swimming pool in the Mediterranean-style gardens.

The stylish restaurant has a decked terrace, and serves a modern European menu featuring local produce. The bar offers Cornish ciders and real ales, and traditional breakfasts are served daily.

Gorgeous little property with a serene view of Penzance and the sea. The front desk attendants were extremely kind and helpful; they helped me carry luggage to my room and called a cab for me when I departed. I could order room service for a quiet night in and the food was delicious! The room was full of thoughtful little details (tea, coffee, biscuits, bottle of water) and the bed was a dream. I slept wonderfully.

Retaining many original features, this stone-built Victorian property has open fires, stained glass windows and charming individually designed rooms with free WiFi. The Estoril is just 250 metres from Penzance’s Western Promenade and beach.

Absolutely loved the personal touches of the property - it wasn't like a typical hotel and each room had a lot of character. The room we stayed in was so cute and cozy, fitted with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was filling and fresh and it fueled us for our visit around Penzance. The conservatory was gorgeous as well and I highly recommend eating or sitting out there if you have time. You can also store luggage there. 10/10 experience and I'll definitely book here again the next time I'm in the area. The hosts were so friendly and made the experience more memorable and personable.

Probably the cleanest place I’ve been to! Sharon is a lovely and well caring host. I will definitely come back again if I travel to Cornwall.

    I travel all over Cornwall with work and stay in some of the best Hotels but in Penzance my budget doesn’t stretch far. This quaint little friendly pub is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are very clean and the bed is very comfy! The breakfast which is brought to your room is stunning! Lovely staff that make you feel very welcome. Next door is another pub that serves very good food and again the staff are very friendly.

    Our room was cosy and clean, Bathroom was clean and the shower lovely and powerful. View from the lounge across Mounts Bay was stunning. Breakfast very good. Proper tea in a teapot. Staff lovely and helpful. A hotel built for comfort and not overdesigned or themed. Lots of gilt and comfort, no chrome and hardness. When you go up the staircase look up. The glass atrium is wonderful.
