We really enjoyed our one night stay. Very clean cozy room. Delicious breakfast. Very friendly service. Burnt our string light bulbs should be replaced as they really add to the evening exterior appearance and feeling. (Burnt out bulbs are a bit of a pet peeve of mine.) If you drive a larger vehicle such as a full size SUV or pickup truck, parking is almost impossible. You can only back up once you pull in and it is extremely tight.

A short walk to historic sites, harbor, restaurants. Would have liked cream rather than coffee mate for coffee.

Great stay

I would love to give them 5 star but a few things prevent that. The TV was small in comparison to the room. The channel selection was limited. My biggest issue was the shower. It took a long time to get the water hot and then it would go cold during the shower. The location couldn't be better. Convenient to everything we wanted to do. Ellie was a very gracious hostess. The breakfast was great. The place could really use a deep cleaning. Overall a great 4 star experience

A large old house repurposed for lodging, as expected. Charming atmosphere and furnishings. Door into our room is misaligned with its door knob, practically falling off and its pass-through bolt inside, very difficult to engage. The same for the closet door, which also connects to the adjacent guest room. We arrived early, but the building was locked and empty. When we came back, the owner was there to greet us and show us around. She informed us that we would be the only occupants in the property during our stay. Shortly we left to explore the town. The following morning, we were shocked and disappointed to find a missing bottle of perfume. We we left a voicemail to the owner (Unfortunately I don’t recall her name) concerning the theft plus, informed the young lady who prepared our breakfast. By the way, breakfast was delicious. We are very disappointed that no-one returned our call.

We enjoyed our stay at Penny Farthing. It was a great location convenient to restaurants and shopping. Our room was small, but very cozy and had everything that we needed. We would definitely stay here again if in St. Augustine.

Management was not reasonable about cancelation. They refused to accept a cancelation fee though they had months of lead time. Be careful

Wonderful Place

We had a great experience. Very cute, quiet and quaint. Easy walk to everything in the historic district and close to the beach. Annie was a wonderful host! If you don’t want the “busy” of a traditional hotel, here’s your place.
