We spent one night - a birthday/anniversary treat - at the Abbey hotel, in Room 1 and it surpassed our expectations. Our bedroom itself was spacious, beautifully furnished and with a wonderful sea view from the large windows. Equally gorgeous was the huge bathroom, with a lovely view of the hotel's charming gardens. The owner and the staff we met... More

The Abbey is so wonderful! I found this hotel on the internet -- its sweet, shabby chic appearance and historic interest appealed to me. My husband wasn't too thrilled, so I only booked one night. But it was such a wonderful place that once we realized what a treasure it was (as my husband agreed), we inquired about staying one... More

I don't really want to tell you how lovely this hotel is because it will get too busy. The hotel is absolutely charming, the rooms delightful, the view splendid, the staff enthusiastic and helpful. Where else do you have a breakfast room with a roaring open fire and a breakfast cooked to order? Convenient for the town and its many... More

I have been visiting Penzance for 35 years as my wife comes from nearby Newlyn. Because we have stayed in her parents house the Abbey Hotel has been a place we have never actually used. On our latest visit to Cornwall we decided to give the Hotel a try. Expectation invariably exceeds the reality but not in the case of... More

A beautiful very well appointed hotel with extremely friendly & helpful staff. Worth a visit to Penzance if only to stay here!! Breakfast was substantial with an unusual variety of choices. The Newlyn kippers are very good. The bedroom was well appointed with very comfortable beds and overlooking a secluded garden. other rooms have sea views but haven't actually seen... More

We had a 'long weekend' stay here to visit my family after our recent wedding. I wanted to stay in Penzance as this was a very central location as far as visiting friends and family is concerned. It also meant we could visit all the places I wanted to show my husband without having to drive very far (Cape Cornwall,... More

We have always wanted to stay at the Abbey on our visits to Penzance and had never quite got around to it! This time we did. Our room was on the top floor and comprised two bedrooms and a spacious well appointed bathroom with an excellent shower and plenty of hot water. We only needed the one bedroom so used... More

Well, we'd booked this hotel as a really special occasion, prior to flying out to the Scillies. Whilst we'd read the reviews on Trip Advisor and people had raved about it, I'll be honest we were slightly disappointed. It was very expensive for what we experienced. It was kind of oldy worldy but there was only one member of staff... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Abbey Hotel is a rare gem, a hotel that refuses to enter the modern world, choosing instead to linger in its serenely elegant past. The feel is of a smart country house, and the drawing room – roaring fire, huge gilt mirror, walls of books, rugs on stripped floors – is hard to beat. ... more   less
