“my experience of Southern Comfort Hotel.............”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I had occasion to stay at the Southern Comfort Hotel for a total period of several months, it is a long story so please don't ask...........but have to say it was a good experience due to the care and kindness shown towards me by the landlady Jane, her partner Geoff and his son Josh as well as the remainder of the staff........nothing was too much trouble for any of them. The breakfasts were very good. The rooms were clean and good sized rooms. I eventually ended up having an amazing room with views overlooking Mount's Bay. This hotel is positioned in a prime spot, and a perfect base from which to explore the many wonders the area has to offer. (I was born and brought up in Pz....in fact my parents had their own B&B) I can assure you, if you choose to stay here you will not be disappointed! I am planning to stay there in June 2012 for a weekend, and will be making a booking within the next two weeks and am thoroughlly looking forward to seeing Jane, Geoff and Josh again and to staying at this 'home from home' venue xxx just want to say a huge personal thanks to Jane, Geoff and Josh for all they did for me during my previous stay xxx (ps...........just want to say I had to choose a date that I stayed here from those listed but it only goes back as far as March 2011 so picked that date...........although it is not correct as it was before that.....sorry but had no choice other than to put that date.....)

“We were desperately seeking somewhere to...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

We were desperately seeking somewhere to stay in Penzance and fortunately found The Southern Comfort on Trip Advisor. Jane the landlady absolutely surpassed our expectations with her polite manner, helpfulness and quality of service. We could only stay for one night but would have been happy to stay for more as it was only £30pppn. No deposit necessary and 20 minute walk, four minute £4.50 cab ride from station. Room was very clean and presentable with a beautiful seaview (as promised by Jane). TV - good. Bathroom - good (shower door was a bit unsure whether to stay open or close). Bed - comfy. One slight disappointment was that the biscuits went off in July but we can let that go. All round a lovely B&B and room. Breakfast was really nice, fruit, cereal, toast and fry up with amazing eggs. Really tasty! After breaking the fast Jane couldn't have been more helpful, seriously, she couldn't. She gave us ideas on where to go in our time frame, said we could leave our bags there for as long as we liked and not only offered to take us to the station, but offered for us to go out all day and she would meet us at the station later with our bags. Legend! We took her up on that and she couldn't have been more pleased to help, it seemed she teleported herself there she was so quick!

We can't recommend The Southern Comfort enough for value and quality. Perfect for what we wanted, and my girlfriend is quite particular about where we stay.....

“Fantastic accommodation, brilliant location, amazing service!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2010

person found this review helpful

I booked two rooms with Jane from the Southern Comfort Hotel, one for myself and my fiance and the other for my parents who had flown in from Australia. Both were a great size and with views out to sea and St. Michael's Mount..stunning!

We stayed three nights at the hotel, the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful landscapes and enchanting villages of West Cornwall. Jane really does make you feel welcome and serves up a great breakfast each morning!

ps. Baba Indian Restaurant (two minutes walk up the road) also deserves a mention..great food, great service!

“Should not be called "hotel" but only B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2010

The place is not very well looked after, badly decorated and cold in spite of 2 electrical radiators in our room. The central heating seems to be out of order.
On the positive side we have a very pleasant and quite location. Owners are helpfull. Breakfast is plenty and good.

“B&B, not a hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2010

For £60 a night with full breakfast included, one shouldn't expect much more. The people are very friendly and welcoming. That, sadly, is about the only nice thing I can say.
