Perfect stay - lovely pub with beautiful paneled bedrooms, a comfy bed and friendly staff. Great location in the middle of town!
Just be aware that parking in Penryn is sometimes slim pickings - easy enough to drop your bags off outside and then find a space though so didn't phase us in the slightest
