Fabulous
Good position. But be prepared to eat out

Good place to stay

Disliked: Nothing it was perfect for our requirements.
Liked: Perfect stay - lovely pub with beautiful paneled bedrooms, a comfy bed and friendly staff. Great location in the middle of town!
Disliked: 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
