The food was very nice, great selection of vegan options and the breakfast was the best, All 3 rooms are clean and comfortable.

Spotlessly clean room. Warm staff who could not have done more for me. Excellent breakfast - really was. The Swordfish is a pub favoured by fishermen and locals. It has as rich history. If you are looking for a good B&B with a boisterous atmosphere and awesome staff you can't go wrong.

The Kings Arms Inn offers bed and breakfast accommodation in one of West Cornwall’s most atmospheric pubs. Free parking is possible on site, and free high-speed Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the property

To use the Australia vernacular, this pub is a little rippa. The staff were friendly and welcoming; nothing was too much trouble. The accommodations were cosy yet very comfortable. If you can, take the time to have a drink in the bar with the locals, so much fun. The food was simple yet some of the best I've had in the UK. As someone with dietary issues, it was very easy. If you enjoy a hearty bowl of soup, try the bacon and lentil; I guess a twist on pea and ham....it is delicious. Highly recommend

With a traditional pub and Cornish restaurant, The Ship Inn offers scenic views across Mousehole Harbour. Just a 10-minute drive from Penzance, the modern rooms have en suite bathrooms.

The on-site pub features original oak beams and open fires with a selection of local ales, including the award-winning St Austell. The restaurant serves a traditional menu using Cornish produce, and a fine wine list is also available.

Amazing place, small hotel with the boutique style rooms. Very clean, decent size room and very big bathroom. Breakfast was delicious with hot options. Portions were very generous. We also opted for dinner in and we had one of best fish and chips ever (halloumi cheese sticks were also amazing). View from window was worth a lot! We will be back as we loved location, staff, design and overall feeling.

    Room and breakfast. Arrived too late for dinner. Have been coming here for years, ideal place to catch the Scillonian. The owner carried our case all the way to the check in point.

    The location was great. Right next to the railway station and perfect for an early start on the Coast Path. All the staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help with queries and bookings for dinner/breakfast. My little room was clean and cosy

    Room was good for a single with a three quarter bed. Breakfast was fine, dinner was good with a decent selection. Old fashioned victorian seafront hotel which I think had been sympathetically altered over the years. Cleaning of hotel generally and bedroom in particular was excellent.

    Great location within easy walking distance to both train and bus stations. A very old tavern full of atmosphere, wood and brass and nautically themed. Room was clean and bright with a sea view. Tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh milk provided. Excellent breakfasts, dinners and menu choices. So good we had dinner there every night! . Staff and owner couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We were sorry to leave but will definitely be back!
