The room itself was really nice, it was comfortable, had it's own little bathroom and a little window to let the air in. Despite the heat over the 3 days, it stayed pretty consistently cool even at night, and it was pretty quiet in there, although I did return late each night so I didn't often hear the bar when it was open. The breakfast was really good, I got something different each day and all of them were really good, the Full English was a great way to start the day, the pancakes were absolutely perfect, and the yogurt and granola came with fresh berries which was a lovely addition, it's great to know where the food comes from. There were other options, a vegetarian full english, a smaller breakfast option and I believe a couple of others which I don't remember, all with a tea or coffee to start the day (I can't comment on the coffee, but it was a really good tea). The owner was really nice and accommodating, as was the staff member who checked me in, and the location is Wonderful, its a nice little walk down from the train station and there are regular buses to both Falmouth and Truro from just down the road. All in all, my stay here was fantastic, I would highly recommend it and if I find myself looking for somewhere to stay in this area of the country again I'll be sure to come to the thirsty scholar again!

We were really pleased to stay at the Thirsty Scholar as it was a lovely with history and not far from where we were going for a party . Adele was very welcoming as were the other staff. It was lovely and warm in the bedroom and nice light duvet and nice and clean and the room had all the basics that you need for a stay. Shower lovely and hot. Lovely. You could see every effort had been made to try and make it nice for guests. Breakfast was amazing - all fresh local food, could taste the difference and it was much appreciated. Nice not to be served the cheapest of ingredients - a first for us.

As it was an exceptionally windy night the sash windows rattled noisily all night , which disturbed sleep but I don’t think this could be helped.

The host / landlady was absolutely amazing she went above and beyond and really made the stay special . The food there is absolutely amazing , my room and en-suite facilities exceeded my expectations. Breakfasts are gold star level they are WOW. It's also a lovely place to stay in for a meal and have a drink in the evening if not wanting to venture out . Great music playlist on in background. If I ever go back to Penrhyn this is my first choice to stay.

The selling points of this property were its location, the room rate and the interesting supper menu. On arrival we were greeted in a very friendly manner and taken straight to our rooms, which were delightful. We had a delicious supper, a restful night and an equally delicious breakfast. The owners and their staff could not have been more helpful. The hard work put into this property since the owners bought it three years ago is evident; it continues, to maintain such high standards. Excellent!

Car parking on the street is a matter of pot luck, but that is a problem everywhere locally. We were fortunate.

I must appreciate the hostess who looked after my daughter who was having problems with her university accommodation and had to shift out at short notice. They made her feel at home and she even dropped her to uni once as she missed her bus. It was a great help to my daughter who was living away from home and country for the first time. I'm very grateful

Perfect location. The facilities were perfect with bedroom of a very high standard. The atmosphere created by the owners and staff was exceptional. Food was of a very high standard with breakfast and evening meal hugely satisfying and tasty. We can’t recommend this establishment highly enough We will be returning.

Room was very clean and the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and very accommodating

There is no parking linked to the property, as it is on a very small one way street. However, if you get there at the right time you can park on the road, and there is a car park nearby offering free overnight parking

Adele and the staff are very friendly and helpful and I felt comfortable and well cared for especially Adele the Owner who helped me with my luggage and also shuttle service to the car park. The food and atmosphere in the pub was excellent and the breakfast hearty fresh and delicious. Room was comfy and I slept well.

I didn't like the carpets on the stairs and bedroom.

A warm welcome on arrival and swiftly escorted to a nearby car park to leave my car over night. Room was cosy and nicely furnished. Beautiful view of the estuary and the pub's garden. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was lovely with a great shower. I ate the full English breakfast with a pot of tea and enjoyed every mouthful.

Local information from owners; bus, parking etc Good breakfast Clean and comfortable. Good shower Location

Some fittings a bit dodgy - door handle came off but quickly fixed. Shower leaked through bathroom ceiling, An old property like this will always suffer maintentance problems.
