    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 😊

    Mattress sloped down towards the headboard - maybe it had been turned recently, and I appreciate that this is personal preference - the bed was very firm.

    Friendly welcome on arrival. Great location. Dog friendly Excellent breakfast service. Perfect for catching the ferry to Scilly Isles

    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.

    Parking is a nightmare with no facility to park close for check-in / out meaning you may have a long walk with your luggage. The room doors while it is good that they are self-closing they slam far too loudly disturbing all guests. A bar fridge in the room would be a welcome addition.

    friendly staff and the breakfast food/selection was really good.

    We stayed as a stop over to the Scilly isles there and back. As some of us went by boat at 9:15 we needed an early breakfast which they did brilliantly at 7am for eight of us and with a smile. The location for the ferry is superb, just a 200yds walk to the docks. Very helpful and friendly staff. Parking available for the hotel just across the road.
