I fortunately spent here just two nights: the price we paid for the room didn’t satisfy the expectations. Smelly room (even if we left the window open the all day long, nothing changed); really spartan bathroom (no place where to put basic things like shampoo or beauty case, no toilet brush) and poor dairy-free breakfast (my booking included daily breakfast, but the day of departure I didn’t get any coffee or tea. The staff told us that the kitchen was getting ready for lunchtime, so nothing more than cereals was available). I definitely would not recommend this place.

Me and my boyfriend have come to stay in Penzance for our anniversary and decided to go here for some drinks to celebrate. The staff here were absolutely amazing especially one member off staff in particular who’s name was Ben. He was very friendly and happy to help with anything. He was so kind that even his shift was over he helped us find a local shop. Cannot fault it at all. Will most definitely be returning again and would happily recommend to anyone.

I had a nice and peaceful stay in a single room, the bed was very comfortable and the room had a television and tea / coffee. The only reason I haven't gave 5 stars is because the shower kept tripping the fuse, I only stayed one night so not much of a problem, but if I was to stay longer it would annoy me. Apart from that it was nice, clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good too. I would stay again.

A lovely pub for a drink. Staff are polite and all helpful unfortunately on this occasion we ordered food and the chicken melt was not good at all. Chicken was chewy and tasted funny. The manager was helpful and sorted this out for us. Despite this particular meal being bad I would still revisit for drinks

Have visited here many times over the years. Has reasonably priced rooms, extensive food menu served throughout the day and a wide range of drinks. Always a few well kept real ales. Service is a little slower than usual at the moment due to govt restrictions but am sure this will be back to normal when govt restrictions are lifted. Great location in Penzance, relaxed venue.
