Mr & MRS Smith Artist Residence Cornwall

The Artist Residence in Penzance is a truly lovely place to stay. The rooms are extremely well appointed, warm and very comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional. The staff are very friendly and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. This is not the first time that we have stayed and it will definitely not be the last. Highly recommended.

Our room was small but I loved all the touches. It isn’t your typical sterile looking hotel room, this room was full of personality. From the Smeg refrigerator in a fun coral color to the wall container for the sugar cubes, tea and coffee to the lighting to the cute placement of the snacks and oh the cutest and most cozy slippers! There isn’t a lift and of course we were on the top floor but the hotel is full of charm and the staff is so friendly and helpful we really enjoyed our stay.

We spent three days in Penzance on our trip through Cornwall. The Artist Residence is a cozy place with lots of character. The restaurant serves delicious and hearty, yet unconventional dishes. The room was small but lovely. Parking is a bit tricky though

I have been staying here for a number of years now whilst doing a painting course in Newlyn and fully expect to return next year. The hotel is stylish with good public spaces inside and out. Staff remain the key asset being the perfect mix of friendly and efficient. My double overlooked the back and was fine for one person but might be a squeeze for two. The bed was very comfortable and the ensuite shower was ok although it took a few minutes for the water to come up to temperature and water pressure is a bit mild. Towels are nice and fluffy, the toiletries are good and there are slippers but a bath robe would be welcome. There was a small fridge which was useful but the mini bar products were just layed out on the two shelves which are really needed for guests having them in a basket that sits on one shelf would.be better. Breakfast is not included but I did try the granola which was excellent as was the capuccino and pastry.

We stayed in the cottage as a family of five - it is a great space and perfectly equipped - cosy and characterful with enough space for us all. Dinner in the restaurant was superb and they had an excellent gluten free selection for our coeliac daughter. Highly recommended!
