Top Penryn Hotel Reviews

St Michael's Resort

8/10 Good

"Lovely location and facilities"

The Beresford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s in great location just infront of the sea view and all shops and restaurants are next to the hotel . Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful . I will definitely comeback again."

Greenbank Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location in Falmouth was really good. Our room overlooking the harbor was nice. Room and bathroom was very clean and probably recently updated. Quiet and comfortable bed. No A/C and very warm in room, and unfortunately our little fan didn’t work. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. The hallways were the reason for lower score. Carpet is stained and filthy. Supply closet doors were kept open in the hallways too, which was not a good look when you walked by. The hallways made us worry about what our room would look like, so it was a relief when we saw our nice room. Improving your hallways will really improve guest experience."

County Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place, just outside of town but walkable"

The Esplanade Hotel

8/10 Good

"The only criticism I have was the cove restaurant was over priced and the service was slow and we asked for a dessert menu and waited about 45 minutes other people with babies were serviced before us we felt ignored by the staff and then to add service charge of £8.10 was a really bad when there really was no service at all My husband and I were on the 2nd floor and he couldn’t manage all the steps so they did move us to the 1st floor however our room was tiny but I couldn’t ask them to move us again so we stuck with it but would have preferred a bigger room when your paying £150 a night the swimming pool was lovely I think when you have teenagers maybe they need to have things for them to do to like mocktail making or movies for teens or arts and crafts for them etc"

The St Ives Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff always happy & helpful. We have stayed here a few times, it’s close to where we love to walk around. View is beautiful too"

The Lugger Inn

10/10 Excellent

"N/A"

Great Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was pretty good in general. Room was fine: very clean. Slightly old-school grandparent vibe instead of funky Newquay surfer vibe, and some of the fittings were slightly run down if you looked closely, but that's being really critical. Breakfast was excellent with unusually good veggie choices. Staff were helpful. The beach location was dramatic. It was quite pricey but I suppose that's the cost when staying in Newquay last minute during school holidays."

Tregenna Castle Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a return visit after discovering this hotel last year. Once again we had a fabulous stay. The resort is simply lovely, as are all the staff. I cant recommend staying here highly enough. The only slight negative i would stay is the gardens walk from the beach can be a little demanding if you have had a long day on tbe beach, however plenty of benches to take a rest if needed. Book now, you won't regret it !"
