Everywhere was clean and the seating area in the garden was delightful with comfortable chairs & parasols over the tables. Staff were friendly & helpful. The buffet breakfast was very good as were the evening meals. Plenty of car parking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

On arrival we were initially shown to room 20, which sadly fell short from our expectations of experiencing a clean , modern room. The bed base looked as if it needed replacing in so much as the sides were peeling away at the very bottom on to the floor with loads of bits on the carpet, and the mattress looked as if it had sunk on both sides in the middle. The bathroom was not clean, the toilet had stains on the inner bowl at the back and on the seat. The decor desperately needed updating, cheap wooden table and drawers which were knocked in several places and window surrounds had parts peeling away from it. We did mention the bed and toilet and were offered a different room immediately. Hence to say, cannot fault the staff in their courteous approach to trying to rectify the problem. The decor in the subsequent room was exactly the same as the first, very outdated, wooden furniture very knocked on edges. The bed base in the second room was in a significantly better condition and the toilet was clean, apart from some dust around the back hinges of the seat.I thought parking was absolutely fine, plenty of room for cars to easily park & move around. Breakfast was hot, cooked sausages, bacon , eggs (scrambled or fried), hash browns, tomatoes & mushrooms was ok, although bacon lacked flavour. Also a small selection of cereals, croissants , bread for toast and a fruit salad which looked as if it had come from some tins. The Manor is set in beautiful grounds with stunning views

Hotel has a lovely view and pretty grounds, but unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to enjoy them or sit on the terrace etc.

The interior of the hotel is very dated and the hallways smelt musty. However, the rooms were perfectly clean and of a good standard, althought the bed was a little uncomfortable. The bathroom was fitted with a power shower that looked new and worked well. There was plenty of car parking.

Staff were freindly and breakfast was very good, althought the dining area did not have a great ambience. We did not eat at the hotel in the evening.

The hotel is in a rural location so it was necessary to drive to reach town, but the price did reflect this. Falmouth as a whole seems to be very highly priced at present, so although less than the hotels in town, this stay did not feel like great value for money.

Darren at reception was really lovely, the lady who served us breakfast in the morning was very lovely and accommodating. The hotel dog ran up to us barking as we were leaving, which was a bit alarming. The bedroom was simple and clean. Unfortunately the hotel has an awful smell, even in the bedrooms, like damp or mouldy carpets. A bee was in our room, luckily my husband was able to get it out. I appreciate it is an old historic building, but a deep clean and refresh of the carpets might help.

Lovely staff

Lovely welcome and the restaurant staff were so friendly. Room was very comfortable and we had everything we need (except a working plug in the bathroom sink?!!)
The only thing we’d like the hotel to think about is the lack of vegetarian options on the dinner menu. There was no vegetarian option printed on the menu - chef did provide something very tasty but there was only one dish available and so we didn’t eat there again after the first night.
Location is great for visiting a student at the uni and very quiet, beds very comfortable. We preferred it to the Merchants Manor and will return.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the setting was beautiful. The hotel was a bit dated and the room got very warm at night. The shower in room 10 was great. More sockets for charging were needed as there was only one, it would have been very difficult if I had been with my husband. The breakfast was lovely and they cooked what you wanted. It was a great location for me as my daughter was graduating from the university and it was only 10 minutes up the road. I only stayed 1 night but would loved to have spent another couple of nights.

Perfect location for us

Our room felt damp and it affected my wife's asthma. We asked for a change of room and the staff very quickly and efficiently facilitated this move. The second room had an upgraded shower room which meant the room was fine. We had a meal in the restaurant which was very good and overall our stay was a good experience. We chose the hotel for its location to a wedding we were attending and it was ideal.

Check in was relatively painfree though, when shown to my room and given door codes, I was actually not shown the Courtyard entrance which proved essential on my second night as I arrived back after the hotel closed and I could not access my room until I ph oned the hotel to ask where it was. Stumbling around in the dark trying to find it was not a good experience. Breakfast was also rather uninspiring.

This hotel is incredibly run down and is in desperate need of a massive overhaul. I doesn’t look like it’s seen a lick of paint since the 80s. Considering that this hotel is not cheap (£155 per night) and is 3 AA stars, we were expecting something allot better. Disappointing.

Look after you dogs please...

Really nice hotel. But...
I am a dog lover and have my own.
But for some reason the owners left their dogs locked in room next to reception over night.
Between 11:45 1:55 in the morning both dogs barking continuously, thus no sleep until well past 02:30 in the morning. I popped down twice to try and see if anyone was contactable and called 24 hour number. Not sure i like the idea of dogs being locked in room, but more so in a hotel reception that is bound to disturb guests. Otherwise a delightful stay, and only for a very poor nights sleep do I pass this unfortunate judgement given room costs i book rooms based on then likely to be peaceful !!

Promised more than it delivered. Accommodation was in 70s extension with avocado bathroom and a shower that was either freezing or scalding. Staff was very friendly, but breakfast service was clueless. They really must do better if they want to position themselves as a manor hotel.

Lovely hotel, lovely location

A lovely hotel in a stunning setting, plenty of parking. A pleasant mixture of a hotel/pub feel with two beautiful dogs on the premises. Good bar, clean, great breakfast and friendly staff. One very minor quibble - when we arrived there was quite a major function on with loud music until midnight. It would have been nice to have been warned about this before our arrival.

Excellent but - -

This is a lovely old mansion house hotel in beautiful grounds amidst wonderful countryside. Everything about our stay was excellent with a couple of very minor exceptions. In this style and rating of hotel, we would have expected some shampoo rather than only shower gel, some biscuits on the courtesy tray, a couple of real glasses rather than just the flimsy “safety” offerings in the bathroom and a bed that didn’t sag in the middle (Room 22).To be fair, on querying the biscuits on night one, we were given a selection of delicious shortbreads - the service and personal attention was faultless throughout, as was the food both at breakfast and at dinner. Our only other comment would be that, although we had read that Penmorvah is a dog friendly hotel and were happy enough to accept that, we draw the line at yappy dogs in the dining room - the dog in question should have been asked to leave (along with its owner!) With just these small attentions to detail, Penmorvah Mansion would be hard to beat.

PMH is almost 3 miles from Falmouth Downs, but a bus stops right outside that gets you to the piers in about 25 minutes. A cab is about 11.50 Pounds. The staff is very friendly, the hotel is on a great piece of property with nice views, the breakfast was good. An elegant and comfortable stay.

Lovely, friendly staff (and dogs). Fine breakfast (although a little early for us post-wedding!)

The room was tidy and spacious, although the shower wasn't very clean. Late check-in was no problem. The house is beautiful and was much better value than hotels in the area, which our friends were staying in.

Very good service.

Really nice friendly hotel that upgraded us to a cottage due to a big wedding going on the main hotel. They also ensured the dining room was private from the wedding reception which was great. The meal we had was ok I wouldn’t say the greatest but not bad at all for the price. Very reasonable. General service was excellent and the venue was very nice.

A memorable stay in a quality Cornish manor house.

A reservation of one night only, with regret. The location is rather difficult to find, especially at nighttime and the access road is just a country lane Delightful place, however, to stay and under other circumstances I would have liked to stay longer. The bedroom was very comfortable and decorated in the best of taste. Poor water pressure in the bathroom shower was rather frustrating. The bar and restaurant service staff were very kind and professional. Food standard however was only average although the Manor's quality image in my opinion would merit more \"haute cuisine\" than just plain English cooking.

Penmorvah Manor Hotel is gevestigd op een eigen landgoed, wat heel erg mooi was. Parkeren was geen probleem er waren ruim voldoende plekken. Kamer was netjes en schoon. Personnel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ontbijt was lekker. Het Penmorvah Manor Hotel is in de traditioneel Engelse stijl qua decor die past bij een Manor huis. Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf.
