The young front of house staff were great, couldn't be more helpful. Our room No 3 "Ephemeral Opulence" was calming but lacked space dread to think what it would have been like with 3 sharing! Stairs very steep especially carrying cases and bags and rooms close so noise carried easily - especially children waking at 5:30am! The location in Penzance... More

We plumped for the Artist Residence on the night before we actually stayed in Penzance and we were very lucky to have found it and to have had some rooms available at late notice. The room we had was really lovely (no. 5 - Pinky) and as each room is designed and decorated by an individual artist it had a... More

The A R is not your average place to stay but this is an enhancement rather than a detraction. The hotel is about a ten minute walk from the railway station on busy Chapel Street but once inside, you're a world away. A very warm welcome awaited us and we were shown to our room. Each room is themed, and... More

I have just spent a night in the Artist Residence and I can honestly say that I cannot wait to go back. I only spent one night as I was in Penznace for business however I plan to return for a short break. I was given the Muju room on the top floor which was absolutely amazing with stunning views...

We booked online at the last minute and only stayed a night, but it was brilliant - out of the ordinary, and inspiring artwork and deco in Mat's room!! We arranged a late check-in as we were arriving by train leaving London after work but that was no trouble for the staff there. The hospitality was lovely and breakfast absolutely... More

The Hotel was amazing, we stayed in Mat's studio that is beautifully decorated , the breakfasts were also delicious with local products and the cakes and coffee breaks were too. Charlie was just incredibly helpful, recommending great restaurants and made our stay a real success so we will be back soon but will have to book in advance as we... More

We stayed in the Artist Residence in late April for 2 nights and we LOVED it. Great accommodation, and the most wonderful staff. The room we stayed in (lots of butterflies) was gorgeous and so comfortable. When we came in from the rain the staff were at the ready with hot cups of coffee and tea. Good breakfast and a... More

The Artist Residence was perfect for our weekend away in Penzance. We arrived early on Saturday morning off the sleeper train from London and although check in wasn't until later in the afternoon, our room was ready for our arrival and we had the opportunity to drop off our bags and freshen up for the day's adventure walk around Land's...

This hotel is a credit to Penzance. The rooms are great, the themes and colours where worth the 300 mile journey alone. Breakfast was really fresh, scrambled egg on a muffin is the best way to start the day. The really nice touch: after a day site seeing we were provided with fresh filter coffee and cakes to our room... More
