The Merchant's House
2 Old Quay Ope New Street, Penryn, TR10 8FA, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
the location was excellent, the property was spacious and we had everything we needed.

The Merchant's House, with its fascinating history, is a wonderful place to stay in Penryn. Excellent central location and private off-street parking is a huge bonus. The house has been beautifully renovated to a modern standard, yet at the same time it retains so many lovely, intriguing features of its past. The rooms and beds were all comfortable, and the bright sky-lit kitchen is a well-equipped delight. The hosts are gracious, very pleasant and helpful, quickly responding to a question that arose.

The location, only a few metres from the town centre, is excellent and the private parking a real benefit in a place like Penryn. The facilities were first class and the house has been modernised to a very high standard, whilst retaining all the character you would expect from a 500 year old house, with some unique features. The house is well equipped throughout.

Great size, warm, clean and well located place. Confortable and cosy.

The history of the house with the plaster ceilings, the lovely light and airy kitchen/diner, the ease of access to so many places in Cornwall

Beautifully restored character cottage in a good location- Penryn is a lovely town. The plaster ceilings are amazing. The property is well equipped and comfortable.

Property had great character and it was a bonus that each bedroom had it's own bathroom. Upstairs was lovely and bright and airy. Well equipped.

An excellent historic house from the seventeenth century but perfectly modernised. Right in the centre of Penryn, handy for local shops, pubs, chip-shops etc. Special moulded plaster ceilings in the old part of the house. Kitchen and bathrooms in the modern extension.

Stunning property full of character. The photos don't do it justice. Very beautiful house.

Location is very good, the whole house is amazing , spacious , clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything.

Can you tell me a little more about parking though as I do have some mobility problems. Many thanksThe parking is at the back of the property. The parking area is not tarmacked. When you park there is then a slight walk up a slope, through a gate to the property and once through the gateway the walkway is cobbled. There is a small hand rail on the sloped path.Answered on February 19, 2020

Are dogs allowedI am afraid Merchants is not suitable, so no dogs are allowed. There is no fenced garden. We have to care for visitors with asthma etc so this house is officially dog free. But We have other houses with big gardens where dogs are allowedAsked about: Two-Bedroom House • Answered on March 13, 2022
