Easy access, very clean and fine room. We arrived at around 9.30pm, and went straight to bed. There is a little sofa area with a lovely view should you want to stay up and not be in the pub. Good for small children also. We had breakfast in the morning which was also fine and made our way.

Great location next to trains, and a fantastic pub/hotel with a very welcoming & friendly vibe. I wasn't expecting breakfast so this was a bonus to me! That said, rather pricey and not too good at being environmentally minded (single use plastics for soap and tiny bottles for example).

The team were fab! But it's a pub and at times I didn't feel safe with the members of the public that were in the bar and the smoking area. Other than that? The room was large and clean. Though I didn't get the cord for the shower, and shower curtain and water going everywhere.

This was a very nice three day stay at the Longboat in Penzance. Very clean, very friendly place, and very secure. The breakfast offered is more than plentiful, and the service quite good.

Very close to the train station and the bus terminal, which was great for us as we had no car. Room was basic and small, but it was clean and comfortable. They have a breakout area on the first floor which is lovely to sit and watch the world go by.

The Longboat provided excellent service .The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. All worked well. The Longboat does not pretend to be the height of luxury.It provides good solid service which fully satisfied our needs on this short break. It is ideally situated on one of Penzances main streets and close to a large carpark. Hope this helps. R and K Cleave
