We have visited Penzance on many day trips during summer months and often thought it may be nice to visit 'out of season'. Additionally we have always felt that The Dolphin looks a nice place to stay, with an excellent location by the harbour. We travelled down on the overnight train from Paddington (an experience in itself), and was not disappointed with our choice of The Dolphin to stay. The weather was kind to us, and we had three lovely days in and around Penzance.

A short but memorable stay for all the right reasons! Originally had booked for one night, but liked so much that we extended our stay. On arrival were given a tour of the facilities and shown to room. The room was large, modern, bright and of a lovely standard. As a premium room it included extra touches like a coffee machine. Very comfortable bed, good shower and soft carpet.
Breakfast was yummy and kept us going until dinner!

This was our first experience staying in a self catering accommodation and it won’t be the last. We had everything needed to live comfortably. The view was amazing too. Jan came in to welcome us so gracefully on our first night and made us feel really welcome. The house was beautifully decorated and cozy, made us feel like we were home. Definitely recommend Sennen Cove Cottage Grassmead.

Lovely historic hotel in a beautiful location. Only down side was their food was slow to arrive, though cannot complain about the meal. Their waiters were very apologetic as they were short staffed in their kitchen , hence delay. We made the mistake of using our sat nav to find the hotel and arrived by the rear entrance, which is easily missed, so ensure you follow hotel signs for Limpley Stoke Hotel. Would stay again if in area.

Although the bathroom was a little small, it was tidy and perfectly functional. The breakfast area was warm, cosy, and charming, creating a lovely atmosphere to start the day.
