Ellie welcomed us warmly and efficiently. We stayed in \"Penny's Attic\" so it was perfectly situated for my daughter and her husband in the main room and me in the alcove. We even had the top floor deck all to ourselves - beautiful sea breeze was felt even if we couldn't see the ocean. Close walking distance to restaurants, bars and shopping. Breakfast was beautifully prepared and served. The only constructive criticism is the bed in the alcove is terribly hard and really uncomfortable. They really need to do something to change that asap.

The breakfast was super both nights. The Inn was very nice. It was easy to walk most every place. We are within 1/2 mile of most every place. Too bad the owners have let the landscaping around the Inn go down. It would not take much to bring this landscaping back up and really improve the looks from the outside.

Breakfast was excellent. Location was really good. We were surprised about the unkempt appearance of the outside and the interiors are definitely vintage. Struggled with the TV remotes and sent a message for assistance and did not receive a response. The next day we discovered the water was off at a most inopportune time - again sent a message a received no response - went to the common area and ran into the house manager and she let us know about the water and helped with the TV situation. Water restored later that day. Don’t know if we would book here again.

Being in historic downtown was awesome and very walkable to St. George st I so enjoyed that. Our room was amazing and very Victorian and quiet. Breakfast was delicious and Ellie was very kind and gracious. Enjoyed it all and would stay there again

There was minimal hot water and it appeared the air conditioner wasn’t working either. It was cool so we opened the windows but it was terribly loud outside. Overall, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Pull back sheets found bug running across the bed. Outside area smelled like litter box. Outside handrail to treehouse very loose and scary. Being an older person needs railing. No refrigerator, parking nightmare, saw a current review saying the toilet seat needed replacing, guess what still not fixed. Almost fell off it in the middle of the night. Bed was uncomfortable and to high up off floor. We booked the room four four nights and left a day early because we just wanted to leave that place. Will never stay at Penny Farthing again. Nasty place.

The breakfast was delicious and a lot of comfort food but balanced with fruit, meat options, bread with coffee and tea. Parking is difficult because it is small but its a bed and breakfast so that's expected.

Not as high as Hotel.com recommendation.

It was very different from expected. Not much parking room (you have to back out), place needs some upkeep, first lady rattled everything off far too quickly so we didn't even get the pass number right. Kaylee however was very personable and helpful. First breakfast lady (older) very nice. Second day (same as showed us our room) a big let down. We were the first there at 8.25 and she finally served us at 9.00! We were not so happy.... We booked because of the hotel recommendation and it certainly was not any 9! The bed and bath did not disappoint. The balcony was great, but rather dirty. It has potential, just not sure it lives up to the reputation.

You can walk to the historic district of St Augustine with no trouble.

Poor condition, great location

This was once a really charming property, but has lacked upkeep and the updates that have been done have are low in quality. We didn’t have fully hot water for the first 24 hours, and after that it was decent. We opened a drawer to get an extra blanket and it was mildewed and smelled of mold. The manager’s response was that she had forgotten it was even there (she did say she was going to dispose of it). The breakfast is decent, but the happy hour consisted of stale packaged cake and carafes of unknown red and white wine. When the room was serviced, towels weren’t replaced and trash wasn’t emptied (including food and coffee grounds). On the upside, the location is fantastic and the room was very spacious.

We really enjoyed our one night stay. Very clean cozy room. Delicious breakfast. Very friendly service. Burnt our string light bulbs should be replaced as they really add to the evening exterior appearance and feeling. (Burnt out bulbs are a bit of a pet peeve of mine.) If you drive a larger vehicle such as a full size SUV or pickup truck, parking is almost impossible. You can only back up once you pull in and it is extremely tight.

I would love to give them 5 star but a few things prevent that. The TV was small in comparison to the room. The channel selection was limited. My biggest issue was the shower. It took a long time to get the water hot and then it would go cold during the shower. The location couldn't be better. Convenient to everything we wanted to do. Ellie was a very gracious hostess. The breakfast was great. The place could really use a deep cleaning. Overall a great 4 star experience

A large old house repurposed for lodging, as expected. Charming atmosphere and furnishings. Door into our room is misaligned with its door knob, practically falling off and its pass-through bolt inside, very difficult to engage. The same for the closet door, which also connects to the adjacent guest room.
We arrived early, but the building was locked and empty. When we came back, the owner was there to greet us and show us around. She informed us that we would be the only occupants in the property during our stay. Shortly we left to explore the town. The following morning, we were shocked and disappointed to find a missing bottle of perfume. We we left a voicemail to the owner (Unfortunately I don’t recall her name) concerning the theft plus, informed the young lady who prepared our breakfast. By the way, breakfast was delicious. We are very disappointed that no-one returned our call.

Ideal location, Nice inn

The inn is beautiful though it needs alittle attention.The rain gutters are growing trees, the outside and porch need to be powerwashed, replace the deck chairs as almost all of them had uneven legs and breaks and the tableclothes were never changed and were quite soiled. the room itself was clean an comfortable but needs a deep clean once a month or so. very dusty on hardwood floor in corners and under bed.
The service provided by annie was spectacular. she was very accomodating to all of our needs.
The breakfast was very good but they only offer three different meals on a rotation.
The owner is very nice but seems a bit scared.
it just needs a little attention to details. the book in the room had been full for some time so i purchased a new book and left it there.
