All the staff were amazing - couldn't ask for better. Service and food were really fantastic. We were very impressed. Fantastic location for the ferry.
The bed was too soft and the noise from the outside area was a bit disturbing, but that would be expected from a pub.

If you’re catching the ferry to the Scilly Isles, the location could not be bettered. We had a quiet, comfortable room and a really good vegan breakfast.

The room was beautifully appointed with a very nice bathroom with shower. The staff were lovely and very helpful and the food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent. Although there were no parking facilities as such, the staff were very helpful with recommendations. An overall very enjoyable stay, thank you.
Parking facilities are, obviously limited.

This was right next to the Quayside which was ideal for our transfer by Scillonian III to St. Mary's.
Rooms nicely appointed and bed very comfortable.
Noise abated after about 10.30 at night.
Evening meals and breakfast very good.
Very noisy from about 6.00 am as ferry about to depart and was being loaded with cargo and noisy people.
But if you are going yourself it's not a problem.

Well cited for the harbour, promenade, swimming in either the sea or Jubilee pool, both train and bus stations, Morrab gardens, Penlee gallery, the town. Our room overlooked the harbour and was very clean and comfortable. There is a good choice of cooked breakfasts. We ate there each evening and the food was excellent with a wide choice of dishes, the fish was exceptionally good and all reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful.
