    Great location and breakfast with friendly staff - a great pick for the ferry.

    Mattress on the beds were not to my liking - a bit too bouncy and were not comfortable for me. Bathrooms were a bit tight but totally understand that it's hard to fit them in! Some of the rooms higher up in the building will be tricky for people to get into with larger luggage given the tight staircase.

    Great location just a few minutes away from Penzance quay and near a lot of decent restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was very good with a lot of flexibility from the chefs. Staff was excellent and really friendly.

    Excellent location, wonderful staff, superb breakfast, great view of the bay.

    Not a complaint, as it was probably just an oversight, but there was no hand soap in our room - but that's ok as we'd brought our own (as I don't like the individually wrapped ones that just get thrown away after use - as lots of hotels have). There were also no teaspoons. We could've asked for them, but it was really no big deal - I'm only mentioning it here so the owners remember to check the room supplies for other folk

    The location was perfect; overlooking the sea and just a stones throw from the Jubilee Pool. Easy walk into the town centre too. Our room was quite small, but spotlessly clean with a comfy bed. The car park was full but there was another one just 50m away. Pleasant, friendly owners so we felt very welcome. Really good breakfast, with dairy-free milk and spread available.

    The bed was very uncomfortable. The tea and coffee facilities were limited, and the owner was a little uptight when we arrived a little early to check in to our accommodation.

    The room was newly refurbished and repainted. The room had fantastic views of the sea and it was a comfortable stay. The breakfast was plentiful .with plenty of variety for all diets.

    The bed could have been more comfortable and the duvet wasn’t big enough - my feet kept popping out t bottom and I’m only 5ft 2. The windows weren’t particularly sound proof either.

    I felt comfortable staying at the Stanley and it is in a good location with a friendly host. I was was I undisturbed but felt I could ask for anything and the breakfast was good. I arrived wet as it had been raining and was offered a heater straight away to dry off!

    Strong smell of paint throughout, particularly in the bedroom where it was worse , probably having been shut up with no ventilation. In our room the velux window was out of reach to open it unless you stood on the bed.. this may have been the smallest room as it was on booking.com

    The establishment had been recently decorated all through and all was cleaned tidy. Hosts were friendly and pleasant.

    The 4pm check in is just to late.We got soaked in the rain & the door was not answered or the phone when we tried to check in a bit earlier .The parking was a shambles outside & we had to park very dangerously ( our car could have been hit).The parking is not controlled , people just park as they please. The steps up to the room narrow, dark & wind up and around .The room was too small for 2 people, 2 beds .There was nowhere for our suitcases, except to put on the floor , which left us no floor space.

    The breakfast was good .The location was good.The room & bathroom clean & nicely decorated etc

    The 2 double rooms booked were both clean and comfortable although one was a little cramped and not easy to get to, being up a very narrow stairway, especially as we were all quite elderly.

    Breakfast very good with plenty of choice. Location was perfect for Scilly Isles ferry, within easy walking distance

    The room was a little snug but perfectly reasonable for a one night stay.

    We booked last minute as the ferry to the Scillies was cancelled on the day. Kate and Ray were very welcoming and accommodating (including making us a much appreciated early breakfast before we set off the following day.)
