Nice B&B.
Our room was cute and the breakfast was delicious. They had a happy hour of wine and cake which was nice and it wasn't a far walk to get around town.

Perfect romantic getaway
I have stayed here before with family a few years ago. My significant other and I were planning a trip for our anniversary and decided to come back. It is a beautiful bed and breakfast! We arrived a few hours before check in and they were able to accommodate us. The staff is very kind and offer happy hour in the afternoon. Will definitely be back again and again! Perfect trip for a romantic getaway.

Great location for easy walking to historic sites and shopping and tourist area. Quaint Victorian Inn that needs some updating to its rooms. Breakfast is included which is great but didn’t really give you much food (1 piece of French toast and 2 strips of bacon per person).

Nice trip
Nice B&B in an older home. Staff very friendly breakfast was great. Close to all areas and walkable. We were stuck with a large pickup truck for our rental vehicle. The parking was tight but otherwise would recommend.

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

Not as high as Hotel.com recommendation.
It was very different from expected. Not much parking room (you have to back out), place needs some upkeep, first lady rattled everything off far too quickly so we didn't even get the pass number right. Kaylee however was very personable and helpful. First breakfast lady (older) very nice. Second day (same as showed us our room) a big let down. We were the first there at 8.25 and she finally served us at 9.00! We were not so happy.... We booked because of the hotel recommendation and it certainly was not any 9! The bed and bath did not disappoint. The balcony was great, but rather dirty. It has potential, just not sure it lives up to the reputation.

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.

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.

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
