2 Regent Mews

2 Regent Mews Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to 2 Regent Mews, you immediately understand why this place scores so highly with guests — it’s tucked away on one of those charming cobbled mews that Penzance does so well. The Georgian townhouse conversion has this understated elegance that feels authentically Cornish rather than trying too hard. I mean, you’re literally a stone’s throw from the harbor, and you can actually hear the gulls from your window (which is either charming or slightly annoying at 6 AM, depending on your perspective).

The Penzance Advantage

What really struck me about staying here is how perfectly positioned you are for exploring West Cornwall. You’re right in the heart of Penzance’s historic quarter, where the narrow streets are lined with independent galleries and that brilliant bakery everyone raves about. The Scillonian ferry terminal is practically on your doorstep if you’re planning that day trip to the Isles of Scilly, and honestly, I can’t think of many places where you can walk to both the train station and the best fish and chips in town within five minutes. The location genuinely deserves that 9.2 rating guests keep giving it.

The Accommodation

The rooms at 2 Regent Mews have this lovely blend of period features and modern comfort that actually works. You’ll find original sash windows that frame views of either the mews or glimpses of Mount’s Bay, and the furnishings strike that difficult balance between cozy and sophisticated. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed — you know, proper shower pressure and decent toiletries, which matters more than you’d think after a day tramping around the coastal path. Each room feels individual rather than cookie-cutter, which I appreciate in a smaller property like this.

Local Connections

What I really loved about this place is how it connects you to the real Penzance. The owners clearly know their patch — they’ll point you toward the Saturday farmers market or suggest which tide times work best for exploring the rock pools at Mousehole (it’s pronounced “Mowzel,” by the way). You’re close enough to the Morrab Gardens to have a proper wander, and the walk along the promenade to Newlyn takes about twenty minutes if you fancy watching the fishing boats come in. There’s something quite special about staying somewhere that feels integrated into the community rather than separate from it.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.0 overall rating tells the story pretty well, but it’s those couples who really seem to get what 2 Regent Mews is about. There’s an intimacy to the place that works beautifully for romantic breaks — whether you’re planning coastal walks or just want to explore Penzance’s surprisingly vibrant food scene. The combination of that prime location, genuine character, and owners who actually care about your experience creates something quite memorable. It’s not flashy or over-the-top, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want from a Cornish getaway.

Exploring Cornwall blends smugglers’ coves, subtropical gardens, and heritage rail trips hugging the sea cliffs.

• Connie from United States – 14 September 2024 (8/10)

  The host was willing to pick us up after a play late at night several miles away from where we were staying. We only mentioned we were going to have to hire someone, and they were quick to offer.
  
  What could be improved: I cant think of any.thing.

• Ben from United Kingdom – 14 August 2024 (7/10)

  The location was great for what we needed. The central location meant we could easily pop into town and the car park wasn't far away either.
