The property was lovely. We had just come in on a trans Atlantic flight that day. We ate at the hotel that night which was really good in addition to being relaxing. They had a reserved table for us. Breakfast the next morning was very nice; fresh fruit platter then whatever breakfast you wanted. Family owned and run. The staff commented on how nice it was to work for the family.

Lovely pub with friendly staff and great service. Our room was clean and very comfortable. Great shower and comfortable bed. We ate there in the evening, best fish pie I’ve ever had and great choices. Breakfast was good, choice of cereals, yoghurt etc and plenty of fresh fruit. Choice of cooked to order hot dishes. We felt our stay was great value and would stay again.

The Kings Arms

The room was very small. The bed was uncomfortable. The duvet was all lumpy. The floor was on an angle so it felt like you were sleeping on a hill. The dinning bar area was discustingly dirty. It looked like it hasn't been cleaned in months. There was a drunk woman falling all over the place. Its the type of place workies would stay during the week. Its not the type of place you would go for a relaxing getaway! On the positive side, the staff were fine.

Not your average hotel experience

I was looking for a one of a kind experience in Cornwall and The Kings Arms met my expectations. It's a quaint little pub with about 6 hotel rooms. We ate dinner and breakfast there and both were very good. We would recommend this site if you're looking for something other than a big hotel chain with a lot of charm.

Delicious dining at the Kings Arms during our stay

We loved our two nights at the Kings Arms. We enjoyed two delicious dinners as well as breakfasts while visiting. Our room could have been a little more spacious, but the bed was comfortable. There was no room service the second day . All the staff were most friendly. We would highly recommend the inn.

Lovely inn and pub - great food

I had a lovely stay at the Kings Arms Penzance. The pub serves delicious traditional pub fare, and the full Cornish breakfast in the morning is excellent. My room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and I had everything I could need. The staff were extremely kind when I wound up breaking a bone in my foot while on a walk in the nearby fields. They kindly provided me with a giant bag of frozen peas - the perfect thing to ice my foot. I was lucky to stay on an evening when the award-winning local men's choir was practicing next door. They popped in after rehearsal for some snacks and a pint and broke into some of the most lovely impromptu singing - an unexpected treat. You know you are in a good place when it is filled with locals daily. It's perfect for any length of stay, with excellent access to all Cornwall offers. I hope to visit again in the future.

Friends I never knew I had

From the second I walked in the atmosphere and service was outstanding. As a total stranger I was made to feel welcome. The service the food and chat within the bar was all just exceptional. I have had one of the best evening out on my own with wonderful company around me that I have experienced in decades. This was made all the more special by the fact that this place is animal friendly as I got to meet a local military veteran like myself with his support Ferrets and we just chatted the night away. The staff have also bent over backwards to accommodate all of my special requests. This place is a genuine diamond off the beaten track and would suggest it be a first choice location to stay if needing to in this part of the world. Thanks all 😎👍
