Penryn is a a small sleepy place = most of the shops are closed down, but there are some good coffee shops and restaurants.
The place we stayed Seven Stars Penryn was absolutely terrible and I certainly could not recommend staying here. It spoiled our week there.

Everything was thought out to the smallest detail. Even such minor things as salt and butter were available. You could just come and relax. My son was very upset when he woke up at home, he wanted to return to this house.

Penryn was chosen as a central place to stay, whilst visiting the sights we wanted to visit (Lands End, Tintagel, St. Michaels Mount and St. Ives). Therefore we cannot say much about the town itself, as we never visited it.

A real place with real people, shops and lives in an often spoilt by tourist Cornwall. Some really good pubs (try the Famous Barrell) / brilliant classy fish and chip shop (The Mariners) / cafe with cakes and coffee to die for (Stargazy Cucina) with lots more on the Fal Estuary at the bottom of the hill and lots of buses to Falmouth/Newquay and Truro (much used by students at the local university) - and all in a really interesting and ancient stone town.

Lovely historic town with interesting buildings.
Lovely historic town with interesting buildings. Set on the Falmouth estuary. Beautiful scenery and lots of gardens and historic houses to visit. Very good public transport links by bus to Falmouth, Penzance, etc. Free parking. Very friendly locals and students (it's part of the Exeter/Falmouth campus). Two pubs with good food at competitive prices, one of which, the Thirsty Scholar, has this year's Gold Award for pub food in the South West, which is richly deserved.

It's a very cute little place, not a huge amount to do but it's very close to Falmouth, which has a lot more on offer. The high Street is all up hill so if someone has health or mobility issues, this possibly wouldn't be the most ideal place to go. The best place to stay and eat is The Thirsty Scholar, this place, the food and staff are exceptional! Parking is a bit of a pain, the closest car park is a 3hour max short stay so you need to go to a long stay one, which is an up hill trek to the pub and high street

Convenient location for access to Falmouth university Penryn campus. Friendly staff. Beautiful rooms. Well stocked with toiletries and refreshments. Hairdryer included. Delicious light breakfast of cereal yogurt and flapjack in room. Comfortable bed. Compact and quirky but spacious enough for a short stay. Enjoyed the convenience of eating at the restaurant at Seven Stars as we only stayed for one night and food was tasty and well presented.
The accommodation was located close to Truro, Falmouth and within 30-40 mins of beautiful beaches. It was perfectly located as a base for walking the South west coast path.
The apartment was fantastic and the owner Mark was really friendly who we really enjoyed talking to.
We would highly recommend staying at Cuckoo’s Nest.
Great hospitality from the hosts and we were greeted every day by the lovely border collies. The Airstream was delightful, spotless and very well equipped. Perfect for a short break down to Cornwall and we hope we can return one day.
