Holbein House is a lovely place to stay, and it was our second time this year. Ally and Mike ensure everything is spot on. Our bedroom was cosy and comfortable, and the breakfast completely scrumptious with lots of choice. The location is perfect for visiting many local places.

Penzance is quaint, people are friendly, helpful & want to share their town with you.
Suggest prior booking for the Lido, regardless of the time of year to avoid disappointment.
Take a bus or taxi to St Michael's Mount and consider walking back to Penzance along the beach & path.
Visit Morab Gardens, a real treat.
A visit to Lands End & meal at the Hotel there to watch the sun go down and also the Minack Theatre, a must.
There are lovely little cafes, with homemade treats to try.
Allow sufficient time for visiting places of interest, there are so many.

The only drawback to Penzance is the long journey to get there from most of the UK. However there are great rail links, including direct trains to and from Cardiff and London Paddington, also of course Bristol and other major cities. Other than that, it has everything you could wish for, although to be fair there's not much beach, and none at all when the tide is in. A ferry trip to St Mary's Isles of Scilly is a must, there's a daily service that gives you about four hours on the island, which is well worth doing. Penzance has an abundance of shops, many of them "quirky", but also everything you could need. Great place for food and drink options. I have no hesitation in recommending Penzance for a relaxing break.

Penzance itself is pretty but small.
Penzance itself is pretty but small. But within a walk or a bus ride (or mix of both) you have St Michael's Mount, Newlyn and Mousehole, and a whole lot of beaches and views. We were carless - with a car, the whole tip of Cornwall is there for you.
And if you are there on a Friday, the Italian buffet at the Lugger Inn is excellent!

It's a cute town with lots of quaint shops but a bit "touristy", we enjoyed going to Lizard Point and Lands End. There are many little cafes and restaurants with a lot of variety in the types of food so you can probably find something you like.

West Cornwall is a great place for birdwatching and Penzance makes a great base from which to go out each day.
It has lots of good restaurants and pubs/bars for those wanting them but also the usual stores for provisions if self-catering.
There are boat trips from the harbour, a few galleries, cinema and beaches both at Penzance and in other places nearby.

Its a great base for a trip in this area.
Its a great base for a trip in this area. We loved walking along the coast, parking was easy. We visited the Lido for a morning bathe in the sunshine (you need to book this). We walked to Newlyn and drank lovely coffee at Lovells, we ate some beautiful breakfasts - particularly Artists Residence, Lovells and The Honey Pot. We ate tasty food at the Mackerel Sky Bar and Tolcarne Inn in Newlyn, You can easily walk to Mousehole for a delicious cream tea at Four Teas Cafe. We had a drink in The Admiral Benbow and drove around the coast visiting St Ives, Lands End and The Lizard (stopping off at Ellies Soul Kitchen). We visited old tin mines and The Minark Theatre for an evening show. All in all, a great stay and I want to come back and go to the Isles of Scilly next time.

This property was a fantastic find! Amazing shower, luxury bath, the comfiest beds & wonderful little touches [some sustainably made with love]. The little courtyard area is a real bonus. All this before you even get outside the front door to experience all the area has to offer!! The 2nd pic was taken on the way walking up the breathtaking St Michael's Mount. Fell in love with Penzance and can't wait to get back 😉
My stay here was lovely, it exceeded my expectations, I got a feeling of being home & cozy, had so much fun during 4 days at Penzance, visited the surrounding towns and villages, the hotel has the best location if you plan to visit famous landscapes in Cornwall and a beautiful view on the ocean from the rooms. Just amazing experience and 100% recommend!
The staff made this visit, the fact they had carried my bags up to the room was a real bonus after 8 hours on the Coast Path. They were friendly and it was an excellent place to spend my last night in Cornwall, so good that I did not leave the hotel until the morning to catch the train to Exeter.
The staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming, and the view over Penzance from its hillside perch were stunning. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the shower was good. The food in the hotel's restaurant was excellent, both for dinner and for breakfast.
Nice cozy hotel and good location between Penzance and Newlyn, right on the coast. Friendly team. We only stayed one night and did not use the restaurant/bar.
