A very relaxed can do attitude made our 1 night stay very enjoyable. The yacht inn really was dog friendly which is rare and something we value very highly. The room and bathroom were spotless and the bed extremely comfortable. We got an excellent nights sleep despite the mayday celebration of sunrise on the front which was quite atmospheric. We also had some preparation to do in the morning for an important presentation and there was no question about letting us delay checkout a little. The full Cornish breakfast was also fabulous and once again extremely relaxed. Its so good not to have loads of unknown rules that you are scared of breaking so common in the bigger hotels.
Set in Penzance, Holbein House is a historic bed and breakfast that offers free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden and a tennis court.

Glad we got tickets for the Minack Theatre and explored the Gobal Telecommunications Museum, took the Coaster bus several tiimes, including to Land's End and walked the Coastal path to Sennen. Enjoyed the Penlee art gallery, especially in the midst of reading "Summer in February." Enjoyed a meal at the oldest pub, and at the Longboat Inn. The staff at the Info Centre were the best - gave us so many tips and set us on the right buses.

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.

We came in February so not very busy.
We came in February so not very busy. Many places to walk around, lovely garden in the center of town. Great beach, St Michael's Mount very close by. St Ives also not far away. Great place as a bae to see Cornwall.
Very clean, comfortable, well equipped holiday home in a lovely quiet village location. Just a few minutes drive to Penzance and with easy access to all area of West Cornwall. Kind and helpful hosts who live in adjacent property, always available for help and advice, but respectful of the privacy of their guests. Dedicated parking area with access to an electric socket for charging an electric car (for which I paid a very fair additional cost for the electricity consumed). Highly recommended.
This place is amazing! Every space is beautiful, cozy with a very special energy, the room is very nice decorated, super clean and you have a delicious breakfast included. The location is perfect! Close to the center, the beach and very close to places like st Ives and Lands End.
Ally and Mike were very kind and friendly from our arrival, make you feel like home. We are definitely coming back soon!
The best place we have stayed in Penzance and in Cornwall. Highly highly recommended!
The Union Hotel has bags of character and historical significance. It feels like an old building that has seen grand days. It's worth taking some time to look at old photos on the wall, read up on the history of the various rooms, and explore the old features. It was tidy, clean, and in a great location for Penzance attractions, for St Michael's Mount, Lands End and the Minnack Theatre. The shower was excellent and the breakfast was very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Cozy, comfortable and well located to enjoy Newlyn and the surroundings. Very easy communication with Adele, who was a warm and welcoming host. Convenient for the local buses, and walkable to both Mousehole and Penzance. Only noise was from the seagulls, which added to the seaside atmosphere! Well equipped for our 4 day stay. Would recommend.
Beautifully presented, modern and clean. Bed very comfortable with pristine 4 star hotel like bedding, spare blankets and towels available. Fantastic appliances in kitchenette all you need for self catering. Great location in centre of Penzance with access to train if needed and lovely St.Ives beaches only a 20-30 min drive away!
Great location on the seafront. This classic British hotel was warm, airy, quiet and the staff were friendly. The weather in December was awful but the tearoom and breakfast room have large windows with sea views so we could storm-watch in comfort. I enjoyed my stay. Definitely coming here again.
The staff all go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable.
The full English breakfast is excellent.
The pub is busy and welcoming. The value for your money is the best in Penzance, and the bus service is literally right outside the door. What more is there to say?
Lovely room with parking, located nicely away from the touristy areas but still minutes from Penzance and less than half an hour from attractions like lands end, Sennen Cove and St Michael’s Mount. Great hosts who were always happy to help and give advice!
Having the parking lot behind the hotel was great. The breakfast staff provide quick service. The room was large, pretty, and comfortable and we had an ocean view. Checkin was easy and the guys were helpful and pleasant.
The best breakfasts I have ever had with plenty of choice as well. Location was fantastic, just a short walk to the seafront and the town but still easy to drive out of Penzance in a car. Richard and Sarah were great hosts.
Wonderful staff, amazing view and completely new renovated rooms. The Ship Inn and the town are both absolutely lovely places to stay - and less hectic than the main "downtown" part of Penzance. Highly recommend this Inn.
The location is great -close to Penzance and so close to beach. the people who run the hotel are very nice, friendly and lovely. the room was clean and nice. the breakfast was awesome- very tasty for great price
very helpful and friendly staff, nothing was to much trouble for the [ Paul in particular ]. but all staff are a credit to the hotel .The hotel holds a great position in Penzance . We will be coming back
The hotel is super lovely. The location is great, very close to the Penzance train station. It has fantastic views and high-quality food. Stuffs there are super friendly and kind. highly recommended!
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!
