Well, we usually stay in the large 'chain' hotels, hilton, marriott hol inn etc, and these are few and far between in Devon and Cornwall! So on our recent long weekend down to Penzance, we stayed at three smaller/independent hotels - one night in Torquay, one in St Austell and then 2 at the Tarbert hotel in Penzance. They were... more

Stayed at this hotel twice as a stopover en route to and from Scilly Isles: handy for the station and heliport. Also close to the restaurants in Chapel Street. Bedrooms were comfortable and the included breakfast was excellent with a good choice of freshly cooked fare, such as full english, poached haddock, and eggs benedict. Friendly tv lounge/bar area and... more

Clean place, nice flat TV, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff...but oh dear the mattress. Felt like it was a hundred years old, I felt every single spring in it. That totally spoiled everything, I really couldn't sleep on this thing. Such a shame, it was so lovely otherwise. more

My sister and I recently travelled to Penzance and stayed for 3 nights at the Tarbert Hotel. It was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had. The hotel owners and staff were extremely helpful and gave us excellent advice on local restaurants and places to see. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained. I would recommend this hotel... more

I had a single room for 1 night at the Tarbert Hotel and really enjoyed my stay. The staff were all very friendly with smiles and enthusiasm - such a nice quality to have greet you when it has been chucking it down with rain! The place itself is nice and compact with my single room being perfect for me.... more

The hotel was really homely and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The full English breakfast was lovely and a glass of wine by the open fire in the evening was a must after the drive down to Cornwall. Would definately use this hotel again. The only problem was that the walls were a little thin! more

We stayed at the Tarbert Hotel in September for a weekend. The hotel is in a good location. Guests have keys that open the front door to allow for free movement. We received a warm welcome. The bar area was like a living room and was cosy with television and a couple of sofas. The restaurant was beautifully decorated in... more

Booked the superior room at The Tarbert Hotel. The room was big and very tidy. From the moment we arrived till we left, the owner made us feel very welcome and his customer service is beyond comparison. Definitely recommend the early morning breakfast as it is just perfect. The chef and the owner catered the taste of my very fussy... more
