Boutique Hotels in Penzance

"We paid nearly £1400 for 2 night’s’ accomodation at the 3 bedroom cottage and it was a rip-off. The cottage was tiny : 3 bedrooms but only one toilet. The worst was this: the cottage reeked of musty smell, like when one enters an old antique shop. Of course we were not expecting modern decor, but the smell of old wood and old furniture in that 3 days were unbearable we stayed out as much as possible. It made us question if the blankets draping over the sofa were cleaned. It was just a very uncomfortable experience. Some of us had to do work calls but phone lines don’t work while in the premises. We couldn’t even call for taxis, “because Cornish houses were built long ago”, we were told. We asked for a change of rooms but were told all rooms were booked up and they were all the same, none of the rooms has good phone reception. The check in experience was positive but I wish some of the effort could have been placed into making the place smell less musty and more liveable. The cottage has a small kitchenette and a dining table but it was so poorly ventilated that cooking fumes would stay on the furniture. We bought groceries to make simple breakfast but left all the produce there. We will not go again & would NOT recommend the cottage."
