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.

Penzance is a small town which has many quirky shops, art galleries , restaurants and coffee shops. What does let it down is the amount of old falling apart buildings and many shop closures - not unlike most small towns in the UK at the moment and in need of council investment.
A lot of people seemed to be on holiday although I would imagine it being much busier in summer, which is also a trend with the boom of holiday cottages in Cornwall. Hopefully Penzance does have enough locals living in it that it will still thrive and not just become a tourist town only like so many towns in Cornwall and around the UK as local communities are the heart and soul of what makes a town.

We went in winter, quite a few of the shops were closed.
We went in winter, quite a few of the shops were closed. Quite a bit of road works on our journey down. Beautiful town, very hilly. Definitely worth a visit for the history. We had dinner at the Longboat In. Food was very good. Traffic was quite busy as only one road into town centre and out.
I have stayed at the Longboat several times at this time of year and always enjoyed being there. A great team running this place. Nice rooms and nice breakfasts. Superbly located for Penzance railway station, bus station and Penzance itself. Appreciate the low key approach to New Year’s Eve. Could not recommend the Longboat more highly for an enjoyable stay in West Cornwall, with such an excellent location to explore much that this area has to offer.
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.
The hotel location was good to travel, via public transport ( like I did during my whole trip ), to different interesting locations, around Penzance and the whole south of Cornwall. A good walking distance to the town center. I'd stay again there as I am thinking of my Summer Holidays now !!!
Lovely hotel in a great location! Our room had a sea view which was absolutely gorgeous, bed was comfy and room spacious with lots of light. Hotel has character and is in-keeping with the area. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Would defiantly recommend if you are staying in Penzance.
The hotel was contactless check in, Which was explained well on prior to check in. The room was very well presented with beautifully folded towels on the bed. Our breakfast came bang on 8am every morning as promised and the hotel was in walking distance to Penzance harbour.
Very comfortable and clean. I loved the in-room breakfast. Excellent shower. Good location close to Penzance promenade. Landlord kindly looked after luggage while I day-tripped. Communication with hotel very courteous and efficient.
Had a fantastic time, excellent hosts with great local knowledge. Room nicely furnished, extremely clean.
Great choice for breakfast. No issues with parking. Excellent location.
Would stay again if we return to Penzance.
1. Quiet, sheltered location surrounded by mature gardens.
2. Perfect location for exploring key tourist locations. Plenty to do within 30 minute drive.
3. Key amenities in Newlyn and Penzance within 5-10min drive.
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!
The hotel has lovely sea views and is well positioned to get into Penzance. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was generous. They were also dog friendly.
Very big room with a modern decorated bathroom, nice host, would definitely come back to this hotel, and strongly recommend if you are visiting Penzance!
