About The Thirsty Scholar

A restaurant and bar sit at the heart of The Thirsty Scholar, on West Street in Penryn, with breakfast served each morning and drinks available in the rooms as well as downstairs. There's a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days, and further restaurants and eateries nearby for anyone wanting to venture out for dinner.

The hotel itself is small, with just four rooms spread across two floors, each with free WiFi. It's a simple, personal set-up rather than a large hotel, with 24 hour reception on hand throughout your stay. There's no parking available on site, so it suits guests arriving on foot, by bike or by public transport.

Penryn puts Falmouth within easy reach, along with the wider Cornwall National Landscape, its beaches and heritage sites. The surrounding area is well suited to walking and cycling, making The Thirsty Scholar a practical base for exploring this stretch of Cornwall.
