The Stanley

Stayed here en route to Isles of Scilly . V friendly and helpful staff , well appointed room ideally placed for the ferry with parking nearby ( no cost ) . Breakfast was at a time to suit and was exactly as described . All in all an ideal stop over and in a perfect location for the IOS ferry

A fabulous little hotel. Great staff, nothing too much trouble for them. Helpful with thier local knowledge. Great breakfast and great service. Total friendly place at a great price. Situated right on the front and most of the rooms have sea views. Photos are the views from my room. Will definitely be returning.

and West Penwith and have to make two-three visits a year, The Stanley is just the best for my needs. Extremely good value, comfortable accommodation with a great breakfast. The owners are superb, welcoming and friendly. Kate is a real gem and runs a super business. A tip: book early as The Stanley is extremely popular and gets booked up well in advance as the location is perfect to the Isles of Scilly ferry. I hope to return in the spring

Superb hosts, very nice room, excellent breakfast & first class decaff coffee! We had to postpone our booking due to ill health. They were not just understanding but very sympathetic. Definitely a reason to avoid *********** as we'd have lost our money if we'd booked with them

We stayed here one night and arrived earlier than the check in time but as our room was ready, they let us check in early which was lovely. Free parking outside was a bonus. The room was spacious with a lovely view of the sea and en suite. Comfortable nights sleep. Breakfast was a bit haphazard although the guy serving us was apologetic and very accommodating. One cup and one orange juice was brought up initially, then our English breakfasts but with no cutlery nor serviettes. Then the other cup and orange juice arrived. People on the next table gave us their cutlery as they had just ordered and we weren’t sure when they would come out as he kept going off to get one thing and coming back with something else…everyone had apparently had breakfast at the same time. The tea arrived eventually and when we had finished our breakfast the toast arrived and he offered us jam or marmalade to go with it. A little bit fawlty towers but still an enjoyable stay and would recommend for the location, room comfort, free breakfast and friendliness of staff.

One night stay before going to Isles of Scilly. Excellent, prompt communication from Kate when we had to amend our booking because of the train strikes. Parking a little bit tight. Pretty patio area with lots of colourful pots. Greeted by Bob the dog on arrival who guided us to Reception. I believe it was Roy who welcomed us and the helpful gardener took our luggage up to Room 8, twin on top floor. Stairs are steep and narrow but Roy said we could use fire escape stairs which were much easier. Ordered our breakfast from a wide range of choices, nothing too much trouble. Room is compact but spotlessly clean and freshly decorated in soft blue/greys with clever use of mirrors so seemed larger. No sea view here, a Velux skylight (stand on bed to open) but relatively quiet. A small funfair was taking place outside, don’t think it’s permanent and it finished promptly around 11. Decent sized TV, proper hairdryer, fluffy bath sheets, complimentary toiletries, tea and coffee making facilities, good WiFi reception. A short walk to several local eateries. Small but comfy beds. Shower worked perfectly. Breakfast served in room facing sea front, generous portions. Would definitely stay here again if visiting IOS.
