We loved our two nights at the Kings Arms. We enjoyed two delicious dinners as well as breakfasts while visiting. Our room could have been a little more spacious, but the bed was comfortable. There was no room service the second day . All the staff were most friendly. We would highly recommend the inn.

I had a lovely stay at the Kings Arms Penzance. The pub serves delicious traditional pub fare, and the full Cornish breakfast in the morning is excellent. My room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and I had everything I could need. The staff were extremely kind when I wound up breaking a bone in my foot while on a walk in the nearby fields. They kindly provided me with a giant bag of frozen peas - the perfect thing to ice my foot. I was lucky to stay on an evening when the award-winning local men's choir was practicing next door. They popped in after rehearsal for some snacks and a pint and broke into some of the most lovely impromptu singing - an unexpected treat. You know you are in a good place when it is filled with locals daily. It's perfect for any length of stay, with excellent access to all Cornwall offers. I hope to visit again in the future.

I wish we could have stayed longer here, but airline delays cut our visit short. As it was we arrived at 10:30 PM just in time for last call in the pub, and it was very welcoming. The family room was great with a separate room for kids and the breakfast was fantastic: full English for me and smoked salmon for my wife and daughter. Ten minute walk down to the harbor at Mousehole with views of Saint Michael’s Mount. Close to many other sites like Minack Theater and Land’s End. Worth a return visit.

From the second I walked in the atmosphere and service was outstanding. As a total stranger I was made to feel welcome. The service the food and chat within the bar was all just exceptional. I have had one of the best evening out on my own with wonderful company around me that I have experienced in decades. This was made all the more special by the fact that this place is animal friendly as I got to meet a local military veteran like myself with his support Ferrets and we just chatted the night away. The staff have also bent over backwards to accommodate all of my special requests. This place is a genuine diamond off the beaten track and would suggest it be a first choice location to stay if needing to in this part of the world. Thanks all 😎👍

Lumpy bed; room tilted (head downhill) severely. Extremely tight, small room, no place to put anything. Staff was nice, food was good.

Only a 10 minute walk from Mousehole front this lovely pub is ideal. We were really impressed with the family room with it’s adjoining room with large modern bunk beds/large tv and it’s own drink-making facilities. It was immaculate.
The dried up mushrooms let down what was otherwise a decent cooked breakfast.

Whilst the Kings Arms is in a lovely village and convenient for The Minack Theatre and other local tourist spots, the room was very expensive but a huge let down - It was really cramped, and lacked some key things. The service was generally poor both when checking-in and at breakfast. Check-in wasn't until after 4pm and breakfast had to be taken before 9am - not very focused on the guests' needs. Breakfast was under cooked and took 50 minutes: arriving much later than the required 9am!! A real disappointment and way over priced.
