Guests say
The Perch in Penzance receives high praise for its quality accommodation, stunning location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, peaceful setting, and proximity to local amenities and coastal paths. The property is well-regarded for its views and as a base for exploring Cornwall. Repeat bookings and intentions to return underscore its appeal, despite minor issues with pet-friendliness and communication.
Guests consistently mention the property being very clean and well-presented, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One review specifically notes it was 'spotlessly clean'.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, great views, and proximity to local shops, coastal paths, and attractions like St Michael's Mount. It's described as perfect for exploring 'real Cornwall'.
The accommodation is repeatedly described as comfortable, with special mentions of a comfortable bed and spacious setting. One review mentions a stale water odour in one bathroom, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a welcome pack and private parking. However, there's a mention of an unusable bathroom due to odour and concerns about the garden's suitability for dogs, indicating some room for improvement.
The provision of a welcome pack suggests thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, guests should consider this a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Lovely homely stay. Even the weather was on our side. I stayed there in 2020 & everything is the same older & worn. Lovely Oscar was still the same friendly boy as I said he was older & calmer a typical friendly Labrador who rather like a younger female version of him my four year old Labrador Eva. I went with my mother & chocolate Labrador who are no longer here but it was nice to remember things

We planned a winter break in far West Cornwall needing 2 properties close to each other and by chance found The Perch & The Hen House which exactly matched our needs. The location just outside of St Just was perfect with views over the valley to the village. Both properties are superbly presented deserving my 5 star rating. In spite of the changeable weather we enjoyed coastal walks, visits to local towns all topped off with a great view of the Northern Lights
