    Near the Scillonian ferry. Good reviews. Willing to accept a one night booking. Comfortable bed. Exceptional chef. He prepared soup specially for me when he was told about my oesophageal problems. This is a pub so I was very surprised - in a good way. I have stayed in other hotels. Only one other was helpful with food in any way, but even they did not create something I could eat. Please tell him merci et bone continuation.

    I accepted there would be noise, it is a pub but it did seem to be excessive especially from the outside areas. Ear plus were available in the room and very useful. The breakfast room was somewhat cramped, not much space between tables and the tea in the vacuum flasks was cold, we were offered a fresh pot.

    Position was good. Loved the room, looked freshly decorated and was very clean. Breakfast was good.

    Nothing really, everything met our expectations.

    We had a great time at The Yacht Inn where we spent five days recently. The host family was extremely friendly and very helpful. Chef Dom cooked us amazingly good breakfasts to order day after day, besides regaling us with interesting conversation! The location of the hotel right on the promenade was perfect and there was a large free car park just in front that was super convenient for parking our rental car. The hotel was within a 10 minute walk from the railway station and the town centre, and perfectly situated for long walks on the promenade. Our room also had a great view of the bay. All in all, if we were to return to Penzance some ,day, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks to everyone at the Yacht Inn for our very pleasant experience. You all helped make our holiday memorable 😊

    Just thought the building itself could do with a bit of a spruce up, a coat of paint on the outside. It’s a lovely looking art deco in style building.

    It was clean, the staff were friendly and very helpful. It was situated approximately 10 minutes from the railway station, bus station and town.

    There is a bar with loud music on the first floor of the hotel. The bar works until late and is an inconvenience for sleeping or relaxing.

    The breakfast area looks a bit tired and could do with a facelift.

    The staff is friendly and helpful. Dinner was excellent - very flavourful salt & pepper squid and superb chips. It is just across the road from the art deco sea water lido and geothermal heated swimming pool. Driving along the promenade after departure, we concluded that The Yacht Inn is the best hotel along the sea front.

    The building is a little tired in places. We understand the owners are managing a programme of refurbishment and wish them well with it.

    The property is right next to the Scillonian ferry terminal which was our reason for staying. It is dog friendly and an iconic building. Breakfast was well cooked and piping hot.
