”We had fallen in love with Artist Residence in Brighton so we wanted to stay in this fab hotel in Penzance, too. We stayed in the newest add to the hotel rooms, the cottage. Wow! If you want a unique country style cottage just for you and your family or friends, then this is your choice. We were blown away by the great interior of this unique cottage in the backyard of the hotel. Although every little detail was very well thought of (like in every Artist Residence room) and the design was...
”Hotel was lovely and in good location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean . We very much enjoyed our breakfasts and also had dinner there both nights which was delicious.”
”Great local character- clearly a well loved neighborhood place with congenial, family favoured pub! Terrific (large and tasty traditional) breakfast included. One drawback was much softer bed than I am used to. There is a shared bathroom that worked fine for me but might dissuade some. The location between Penzance and Marazion provides easy bus and walking access to both places. (Note that the morning bus is longer than usual due to its routing past local schools.) Access to the beach is more...
”Good location on the promenade. Most staff generally very enthusiastic and helpful
Room was generally good and comfortable. Good supply of tea and coffee making material and crisps and biscuits. However I needed to report that the bathroom door would not close properly. Bath sink looked cracked and shabby
Breakfast on day 1 went smoothly. Table was laid and the hostess on duty was very helpful and keen. Breakfast on day 2 not so good. Arrived in the dining room to find plenty of empty tables...
”Excellent stay, felt very welcoming upon arrival. Was even offered a room with a larger bed due to my height, but the bed and the room we booked was amazing. Looking forward to our next stay.”
”Lovely little pod (not to small for two) Well equipped kitchen, coffee, teabags, biscuits and condiments to welcome you. Owners are very friendly and the view is stunning. Will definitely return.”
”Great position for the Scillonian the next morning
Very limited evening food menu. I had fish and chips but the mushy peas were so hot I burnt the roof of my mouth
Waitress was friendly but the room didn’t really have a sea view as advertised”
”The property was clean and presented well. It was a nice touch with the welcome basket and milk tea/coffee. There were shops/restaurants close by and about. 10 min walk to take buses/trains to other parts of Cornwall.
A couple of negatives but not a big deal is that we had to buy toilet paper as we were only left with one spare roll for our 5 night stay. There were roadworks right outside the house every day for the five days.. work crews would show up with machines and start working at...
”Stayed here for a week during the Kernowman triathlon. Needed something on a budget and this more than delivered. Excellent facilities. Some quirks that might make access difficult if you have limited mobility but this is addressed by a stair lift. This is also referenced in the property details. Staff were very friendly.”
”The cottage is fine and it is in a nice location BUT the details of the cottage listed on the Expedia website and Sykes Cottages are different and misleading. Expedia shows the cottage to be within the Penzance city centre & 8 minute walk from the ferry terminal. The cottage is 8 miles (13 kms.) from the Penzance city centre. Map apps and a GPS do not recognize the exact location of the cottage. It took us a long time to find the cottage. Sykes Cottages list the cottage to have a washer (there...
