1- Basic price - I just needed a bed for the night as all trains were cancelled due to Storm Goretti
2- Good, convenient location - less than 100 yards to the Railway Station
3- The room seemed clean and tidy
4- It was as described. A shared bathroom - as described
1- Very odd smell to the room that didn't fade with time
2- Very noisy from passing traffic. The road seems to be a rat run and I felt that I heard every car all night
3-Conflicting contact information - I came across 3 different mobile numbers in various places in the property and online
4- It felt unwelcoming. A basic room, with a towel and a couple of small toiletries
5- A poor night's sleep, despite being tired from travelling.

Good location. Tidyish room with a small table and chair, good size TV that worked. There is use of a kitchen and dining room. Good fast WiFi connection.
The cottage is in poor decorative condition wall paper coming of the walls. The front door uses a digital lock as do the bedrooms would be better with key. The smell of moth balls or mould treatment was over powering and made breathing difficult. Very cold in the room, very low lighting level especially the bed side lamp. The wardrobe in the room seemed better suited to growing mushrooms due to dampness. The bed is very low so not ideal for older guests also the bed frame has a very hard sharp edge which is painful on your shins.There were multiple WiFi passwords poorly written on a card in the dining room each different, had to try each before getting the right one. A printed card in the room would be better. No staff seen, all done via internet. Overall seems as though minimal effort has been put in to the accommodation but could be much better. Road noise is very noticeable.

The shower was very good, stayed at a hot temperature, rather than fluctuating hot & cold, as most do.
Never saw any staff, just emailed codes for front door & room door.

The location to the train station was good
Our room smelled damp. The toilet didn't like to flush. There were colonies of mold in the shower. There was a fan in our room that did have blades. The walls were falling apart.

Good central location, simple secure setup. Both of the other rooms were occupied but I only glimpsed one other person as I was leaving. Good value for money, nothing fancy, but well maintained with decent storage and furnishing, and functional kitchen and bathroom.
Roadworks meant there was extra traffic outside the window, on a blind bend, so quite a lot of shouting from frustrated drivers! But I'm sure when the roadworks are finished it will go back to being a quiet back street.

being 2 minutes walk from the railway station and bus stop was handy being without a car.
Being elderly in our 70s and 80s having to go upstairs to the bathroom was at times an ordeal.
Not recommended for older folks.

Location is incredible, very convenient and short walk from train station.
The listing was not clear that the room had a shared bathroom with the other three rooms in the house.

Central for trains, bus, shops, bars, restaurants, harbour.
One bathroom/toilet for the whole house so if one guest has a bath, everyone else has to wait for the toilet.
Thin walls, I could hear people talking.

Convenient location for station and harbour.
I arrived at the cottage shortly before 10pm. There was no external signage to indicate that I was at the right place (Google indicates that the sign shown in one of the photos hasn't been there since 2023). The building was unlit and there was no answer when I knocked on the door, despite the listing saying there were reception staff. Externally the building was in poor condition so I was unsure if I was in the right place. I went across the road to the Longship where the staff confirmed I had been at the right place. I remembered that I had made my booking via my work laptop which I fortunately had with me, so I checked my emails for any communications and found an email from the owner that had been sent that afternoon (whilst I was travelling) explaining that I needed to enter a combination code to enter the building and another to enter my room. The interior of the cottage was unwelcoming, and in my room I found peeling wallpaper, dirty marks on the wall, and the wardrobe was missing a door handle, and there was nothing in the room to make me feel welcome. The bath in the shared bathroom "wasn't big enough to drown a mouse". Having expected a staffed, smart and well-equipped guest house/B&B, I found a tatty, unstaffed building more akin to a down-at-heel student bedsit. ÂŁ90 for a night was excessive, I would have said given the condition of the property and the lack of staff ÂŁ50 would have been nearer the mark (and even that would be generous).

Penzance Cottage is a quaint, clean accommodation just 2 minutes walk from the railway station and harbour. A cosy place to stay if you need a base to explore southern Cornwall. Perfect location for all of Penzance’s amenities and attractions. Easy access to the premises and room via a keypad which is so convenient for travellers who arrive after business hours. Great room in an old stone cottage. Comfy bed, plus fantastic kitchen and dining areas. Spotless bathroom with lovely hot shower. Love it!
No complaints whatsoever

Nothing didn't stay as the room was damp, smelly and unfit for people, snail trails on the carpet, ripped damp wallpaper stuck on with sticky tape!, damp on the ceiling mouldy horrible pit of a place
All of the above, requested immediate refund and left.

Was perfect for what we needed. Clean and accessible, easy instructions, warm and opposite a lovely little pub called lamp and whistle!

In the advertisement there were two rooms. In the cheaper one, it was indicated “shared bathroom”. In the most expensive, no indication about shared bathroom. Thus, we decided to pay more, But to have our own bathroom.
The informacion was completely TRICKY.
We saw the room. We were looking for the bathroom & we didn’t find it.
In summary, WE LEFT 3 minutes later without unpacking our luggage.
