What a wonderful stay and a wonderful place. Marie and David made you feel like you were part of the family, We stayed at the Treetop room and we could sit out on the porch and listen to the music from downtown. I have Celiac and Marie made sure I had gluten free cookies for the afternoon and we had... More

I loved staying at the Penny Farthing Inn. It is in a great location. Dave and Marie are wonderful hosts. It was my Husband's birthday and Marie gave Brad a delicious cupcake with a candle in it -- such a sweet touch! Despite my minor criticisms, the Inn is just so lovely and the hosts incredibly warm and inviting, these... More

We make several trips to St. Augustine during the year, and we simply will not stay anywhere else but the Penny Farthing. The breakfasts here are amazing, and the proprietors (David and Marie) are always incredibly friendly. Betty is also quite friendly, and our rooms are always spotless upon our return from a day's outings. There are a ton of... More

My husband and I recently celebrated our first anniversary at the Penny Farthing Inn. Originally, I chose the inn because of the location, but when we return to St. Augustine in the future, it will be because of the amazing service, heartwarming atmosphere, and delightful surroundings of the Penny Farthing. Marie was a charming hostess and a wealth of knowledge... More

My wife and I always choose B&B's when possible on our travels. This was our 4th visit to St. Augustine and our 4th different B&B. We chose the Penny Farthing based on the recommendations and quite frankly it was available. We are quite glad we did. Dave and Marie are very involved owners which we prefer in a B&B. They... More

This was my third stay at the Penny Farthing Inn which we chose for a quick anniversary getaway. We stayed in the 'Tree House' room which is a nice room towards the back. My wife and my favorite room is 'The Attic.' We could only stay 2 nights this time. The owners are charming and the cooking was lovely. We... More

My husband and I spent Thanksgiving here at the Penny Farthing. We arrived on Wed. night and left Saturday morning. Marie, one of the owners, greeted us as we drove up. She and her husband Dave are very friendly as is Betty, their employee. All three are wonderful cooks and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We... More

After considerable research and a desire for a nice clean inn within walking distance we settled on Penny Farthing. After our stay in mid-Novemeber we felt that we had made the right decision. There are amny other inns, though most are in the $200 range per night and we prefer to budget ourselves at < $150/night. For location (quiet street... More

My wife and I couldn't figure how to have a nice small wedding. She had never been to St Augustine and I never stayed at a BnB. I must say... This was the first and best trip we took since being together. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and amemories. Marie and Dave were awesome host. The location... More

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Penny Farthing. We had a great time. Marie and Dave were so nice and friendly. Betty did a great job keeping the room clean and even did some of our laundry! Can't beat the price, quality or location!!! Can't wait to spend our anniversary here. More
