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.
+ The location couldn't be better; it's literally right behind the Penzance train station and bus terminal, in the heart of the city centre.
+ I appreciated having a side entrance to come and go, so I didn't have to tromp through the pub lobby every time I went in and out of my room.
+ Fantastic tea service, with local Cornish tea *and* instant coffee, *and* hot chocolate! This was a treat to come back to in the evenings.
+ Outlets conveniently located by the nightstands and the desk.
+ Comfy bed.
The hotel was in a great location in a quiet road on the edge of Penzance, an easy walk into town or down to the promenade. The room was comfortable with everything we needed - maybe a little small. The ensuite shower room was good and the breakfast choices great - everything thing including cereal, fruit, yoghurt and a cooked breakfast as well. The owner had lots of very useful tips about places to visit, where best to park and places to eat tin the evening.
I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Penzance. We were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded our room, and it turned out to be amazing. The room had a stunning view, and the hospitality was top-notch. The amenities provided added an extra layer of comfort to our experience. The hotel's proximity to the main station and bus stop made our travels convenient. I would highly recommend Hotel Penzance for anyone looking for a delightful stay with excellent service.
This seaside hotel is really lovely. It's at the north end of town, a short walk to the center, but nicely located.
Our room was small, but very workable. It did not have a view of anything wonderful, but it was quite and cozy.
The bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom is updated and has nice amenities.
Parking is available in a secured garage with prior arrangements.
Breakfast was buffet style.
Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful, from helping with bags, to a delicious cooked breakfast to order in our room at a time of our choosing. Location is perfect for Scillonian ferry - could actually see the quay from our room and walk across the street with our suitcases. Also a short walk to the Penzance train station. Loved the full bath, which was welcome after traveling all day!
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!
It is a cosy place to stay close to the Penzance Railway Station. Shopping is convenient because there are quite a lot of supermarkets, groceries, bars, and shops nearby. We were offered Cornwall brand biscuits and chocolates, which were tasty. The sofa bed was a bonus, in addition to the 2 beds upstairs.
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.
Beds were comfortable. Nice choice for breakfast. We enjoyed dinner one night. It was a long walk to Penzance, but easy to take a taxi back. We walked to a bus stop and took a bus tour of the coast for $10 for an all day pass. You could get off and on at any town on the route.
Super evening meal, on a meal deal basis with breakfast. Thiswas actually not the Beachfield, but Hotel Penzance, the sister hotel to which we were transferred as the Beachfield renovation was incomplete. No problem to us, although wehad to Park on road, which was very steep!
Our hosts were exceptionally, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was superb, with a lot of variety. The room was perfect. The location was just right to access Penzance with parking right outside the property. Would definitely recommend and we will visit again.
We love artist in residence hotels and have stayed at most of them now. Wonderful locations and the Penzance one was particularly well located in the nicest part of the town with lovely artisan shops, coffee houses and bars. Lovely staff and lovely decor.
Very nice, near new build and very quiet area.
Room had everything you needed, even internet tv which was really nice.
Owner was very friendly and has obviously put a lot of effort in to the property.
Is an easy 12-15 min drive to Penzance.
A lovely hotel in a very convenient location for the centre of Penzance, the railway station and the ferry port. A lovely room with a comfortable bed and friendly and helpful staff.
Very authentic English hotel with check in in the bar! Clean rooms, a little old-looking, but very nice stay. We had a great view of the port from one of the top floor rooms.
The hotel is well located in Penzance, close to good cafes and restaurants and the city centre. The staff were overall friendly and accommodating considering the
