Top Penzance Hotel Reviews

The Coach And Horses Inn

The Coach And Horses Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Katie and all her staff are friendly, polite and funny, it was like walking into your friend's house and staying overnight with the added benefit of excellent food and good cider to top it all off, the welcome we received was warm and friendly from the moment we walked through the doors until the moment we sadly had to leave to continue our journey and Dawn on breakfast service was an absolute star and a font of all local knowledge. The rooms are comfortable, clean and ideal for resting after enjoying a few rattlers in the bar. There is nothing negative I can say about this amazing pub/hotel, we will most certainly be visiting again if we are ever back down in the area."
