    Everything was thought out to the smallest detail.

    Everything was thought out to the smallest detail. Even such minor things as salt and butter were available. You could just come and relax. My son was very upset when he woke up at home, he wanted to return to this house.

    Penryn was chosen as a central place to stay, whilst visiting the sights we wanted to visit (Lands End, Tintagel, St. Michaels Mount and St. Ives). Therefore we cannot say much about the town itself, as we never visited it.

    A real place with real people, shops and lives in an often spoilt by tourist Cornwall. Some really good pubs (try the Famous Barrell) / brilliant classy fish and chip shop (The Mariners) / cafe with cakes and coffee to die for (Stargazy Cucina) with lots more on the Fal Estuary at the bottom of the hill and lots of buses to Falmouth/Newquay and Truro (much used by students at the local university) - and all in a really interesting and ancient stone town.

    Lovely historic town with interesting buildings.

    Lovely historic town with interesting buildings. Set on the Falmouth estuary. Beautiful scenery and lots of gardens and historic houses to visit. Very good public transport links by bus to Falmouth, Penzance, etc. Free parking. Very friendly locals and students (it's part of the Exeter/Falmouth campus). Two pubs with good food at competitive prices, one of which, the Thirsty Scholar, has this year's Gold Award for pub food in the South West, which is richly deserved.

    It's a very cute little place, not a huge amount to do but it's very close to Falmouth, which has a lot more on offer. The high Street is all up hill so if someone has health or mobility issues, this possibly wouldn't be the most ideal place to go. The best place to stay and eat is The Thirsty Scholar, this place, the food and staff are exceptional! Parking is a bit of a pain, the closest car park is a 3hour max short stay so you need to go to a long stay one, which is an up hill trek to the pub and high street

    Penryn is the poor relation, a small town between Truro and Falmouth and though a bit old fashioned, it is quirky and is worth a visit. It has a long history - longer than Falmouth; it has quite a bit of interest, is on the water and is very conveniently located. I doubt if it's a family holiday base itself, but it is situated close to a huge range of amenities. Worth considering if Falmouth and Truro are too expensive

    The Merchant's House, with its fascinating history, is a wonderful place to stay in Penryn. Excellent central location and private off-street parking is a huge bonus. The house has been beautifully renovated to a modern standard, yet at the same time it retains so many lovely, intriguing features of its past. The rooms and beds were all comfortable, and the bright sky-lit kitchen is a well-equipped delight. The hosts are gracious, very pleasant and helpful, quickly responding to a question that arose.

    Newly refurbished accommodation and fit our family of 5 comfortably. Came with a washer, dryer and fully equipped kitchen which was very handy! Had everything we would ever need for our stay - everything was well placed and explained properly. The property had a parking which is very useful - and its right in the centre of Penryn which was a good base for us as we explored Cornwall. I thought this was very reasonably priced for the quality - would definitely recommend!

    The barn is very comfortable and spacious, with a nice outside area and BBQ. It is newly fitted out with quality appliances, and was one point, the home of the owner. More generally, the place is well placed for a hub and spoke touring of south and west Cornwall, meeting our requirements, but not for those that want to a five minute drive to the beach. The host, Chloe was super-helpful and communicative via the messaging service for the duration of our stay.

    Good location, close to Penryn and Falmouth. Be advised though that there are no pavements and very busy roads so you need a car to get out of the house. Pulling out of the driveway onto the road in the morning can be tricky due to poor visibility and speed of traffic. Overall the house is well laid out and has everything you need.

    Brand new facilities, very clean, very secure, lovely friendly pub downstairs. Although no breakfast was served, they left a thoughtful cooler box full of breakfast stuff (cereal bars, porridge etc).Also, coffee, tea, Cornwall hot chocolate in the window sill. I would come back to stay there anytime I come to Penryn.

    Good communication before arrival. Great welcome. Comfortable room. As it was a sunny I had my breakfast outside. The breakfast was really well cooked and tasty. It was clear that they use good quality ingredients. This place is 10-15minutes from Falmouth and Helford and a real retreat from the crowds!

    This property was a little gem in the middle of Penryn. Everything inside was of a very high standard and we had everything we could possibly need. It was exceptionally clean and a very comfortable place to stay. We had a lovely garden and somewhere to park our car so perfect for our two dogs.

    An excellent historic house from the seventeenth century but perfectly modernised. Right in the centre of Penryn, handy for local shops, pubs, chip-shops etc. Special moulded plaster ceilings in the old part of the house. Kitchen and bathrooms in the modern extension.

    We have stayed at this property before and it was great, again. It is in the perfect place for us to visit our daughter, who lives in Penryn. We did have a problem with the wifi when we arrived, but it was sorted straight away. Thanks!!
