A lovely stay & my only regret was that I hadn’t booked a table for an evening meal so we had to go elsewhere.

Really enjoyable place to stay for a Saturday night. Nice and quiet to. My son and I had a great time. The veggie breakfast was so tasty too.

Fantastic location and room 3 was quiet. Room was fine except there was no outlet for hairdryer next to a mirror. If you need or like to dry your hair in front of a mirror then this room isn’t for you. The staff were pleasant and the hotel was overall great bargain for what we paid. The hallways were honestly a mess and they need a revamp. You get what you pay for. The senior menu is offered to those over 60 y/o. Do not get the prawns and cold French fries. Prawns were fried and just like warm. My mistake I should have ordered from main menu.

The location of the Longboat Inn is fantastic (very close to the train station and in downtown Penzance). The beer selection is great and the staff were great (particularly Ryan). The rooms are small and we had difficulty getting any hot water in the morning.

Parking is not available at the property, it cost 10.50 for overnight parking. Room was basic and in dire need of refurbishment, black mold in shower and inadequate flow. Dining was average, a request for bread rather than crackers on a cheese board was denied with a comment that we don’t have bread!!! Blatantly untrue as bread was served with soup. Breakfast again basic although the chef and waiter did everything to be obliging. Noisy at night as traffic continually flowing by.
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing place. Rooms moting too special but we knew that. We just wanted a bed to rest near the train station. But we got a nice quite room with a nice view of the sea.
The bus station and train station was 1min walk. Lots of food places and local shops.
The Inn had a good breakfast they taylored for our vegan requests. Their lunch and dinner menu had lots of veg and vegan options and specials. Always check the specials!
Plus, nearby was a lovely Indian restaurant serving food inspired from Rajastan. And we found a Chinese serving lots of vegan dishes. We asked about how it was being prepared and cooked and our vegan waitress said she helps prepare any of the veg and vegan dishes and that it is cooked separately just like if you have an allergy. Most importantly it was chap and tasty.
Overall, this Inn was the best place for us and we would stay there again.

Great owner & super friendly, attentive staff. Located one block from the Penzance train station. Breakfast included was hearty & delicious. Dinner one evening, also wonderful. Staying in this multi-hundred year old Inn was like being in Penzance when our grandparents lived there 💙

A second visit to the Longboat and it didn't disappoint, staff very friendly and helpful, room lovely and clean, towels changed daily if required, breakfast was very good value for money, only one small point, could of done with some coat hooks on wardrobe door to hang wet coats up as it was a bit wet during our stay ,that aside we had a great break and we will be back again soon. Many thanks, Craig and Dawn Johnson.

A very cute pub/hotel steps away from train and bus station. Even though the rooms were on top of a pub downstairs, it was quiet. The beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water for hot showers. This hotel includes a nice breakfast which was a nice way to start a day.

I loved staying at this beautiful old pub. The staff were welcoming the moment we open the front door. The food at the restaurant was really tasty and fresh. Especially loved the tomato basil soup. The room was large and came with a good array of amenities. I definitely would stay here again.

We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the train station for our trip back to London. Price was very reasonable, room was comfortable and quiet, meals were very good, staff were attentive
6.0 / 10.0
The room was clean and private although the street noise was high at times. The cleaning staff was helpful and friendly as were some of the wait staff. Others were not helpful for 2 visitors who were unaccustomed to the dining routines. We could have used a fridge in the room. It was an “okay” stay.

Hygiene was the main issue. Shower had multiple long hairs in it when we got in the room. A dirty rag was left on the bedside table after they ‘cleaned’. The whole place needs a deep clean as many corners/surfaces/floors are not clean. The location was great but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location for train, bus and ferry access. Close to town centre. Very warm welcome, good breakfast and excellent service. Clean rooms but slightly shabby and in need of some refurbishment.

I was very pleased with the Longboat Inn. I arrived after a hard day walking the Coastal Path and the first impression was that the Longboat Inn is a warm, cozy, comfortable place - both downstairs in the bar/restaurant and in my room. The building is old and quirky but very clean and comfortable.
My single room was at the back of the building and had a view of an ugly alley. However, the room itself was fine. It was warm and clean with tea and coffee provided. The bathroom was surprisingly large. It had a big window so it was full of light. That window was frosted for privacy which also had the benefit of hiding the ugly alley. The bed was one of the most comfortable I came across during my time in Cornwall.
I was surprised that breakfast was included in my room price. The breakfast was great.
The location is great - in the middle of town, a couple of mins from the bus station and a Tesco Express.
Despite being the only place that did not put my delivered bag in my room, I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Overall the Longboat Inn was a great choice.

Only stayed 1 night. Convenient for railway station which is almost directly opposite. I arrived very late due to train cancellations but staff were excellent, understood and let me check in via a lockbox system even though it was way beyond check in hours. Nice room with en suite and good breakfast.

Fabulous location for a stopover on the way to the Scillies. It is a couple of minutes from the railway station and less than ten minutes to the ferry. The pub and restaurant are friendly with good service and food. Book a table before you arrive as they get busy!
4.0 / 10.0
I got a bit confused about the location because I remembered it as ‘The Railway Tavern’ where I had waited for trains, but that was about 50 years ago! So, I wasn’t expecting to be quite that close to the station, but actually, external noise was not a problem. The internal noise was not too bad and it stopped at midnight. I would have liked to know that there was an EV charging point in the adjacent public car park before I checked out in the morning.

Best most welcoming folks! Comfortable and special place for we two cousins to land at end of travel day, close to everything we need. Delightful people and charming pub

This wonderful place was exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. Across the street from the train station and car rental place. Good British food and pub downstairs. Cozy room with a warm blanket was great!

Dirty nets on the windows with dead insects in them, wasps flys etc. the bed was extremely uncomfortable, I could see the sheets had been washed but they were very stained. The toilet seat was also clean but very stained. The television is a distant away from the bed, as it is sick a small tv; it on was difficult to see/watch it. Overall the room looked a dirty magnolia, it definitely needs updating. I was disappointed.
