Excellent stay from start to finish

Excellent from start to finish, genuine friendly staff who were happy to help and share their knowledge of the area. The breakfast which was included offered a great choice which was freshly cooked. The Tavern also offered a good variety of evening meals, we found ours to be of good quality and great value for money. Excellent location right opposite the quay, nice to sit and watch the world go by and also do a bit of dolphin spotting using the binoculars that are provided in the bedroom. The whole place smelt fresh and clean, we have no hesitation in recommending this place

Alice, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The history of the building, the modernised bedroom and bathroom, the atmosphere in the pub and dining areas all made this a memorable and comfortable visit. Very conveniently positioned for train station and Scillonian. Quite a bit of traffic on road below, but it didn’t disturb us very much.

A traditional inn on the harbour with a great atmosphere. Richard, the owner, and his team do a tremendous job. Highly recommended

We have stayed at the Dolphin Inn before and would always choose the Inn as our first choice for accommodation in Penzance

Another overnight stop on the way to Scilly. Excellent customer service as usual. Thanks
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice room - clean and large with a great view over the harbour. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating. We arrived at 8.30 pm during the Godowan Festival when the pub was very busy but they found us a table and kept the kitchen open late to feed us. Also provided us a great cooked breakfast before the normal time as we had an early ferry. Few hotels would have been so flexible, friendly and accommodating.
