"Stayed here overnight on a business trip today . Booked through a company agent and had a meal booked a room breakfast. On arrival, the parking is somewhat awkward, luckily I bagged a spot directly opposite the pub this is not a pub car park but free parking is available however maybe worth dropping your bags off before parking up in the local area. On entry to the pub I was greeted and shown to my room where my key was laid on the bed, nice room, towels tea coffee, hair dryer and generally a cozy room room 2 . Good wifi also. It was a bit cold so I closed the window wide open in October? , the room radiator was off so turned it up but the heat never came maybe on a timer? I did take this up with the hosts and asked for a portable heater which never came. I was offered a different room very quickly which was lovely Heavy rain and weather in the area at the time, after checking in to the first room, I decided to work from my pc, the room then sprung a leak over the bed, after an hour of being in the room, it became apparent, nothing major but a roof leak. I reported it later and suspected due to it being an old building this was probably a one off leak but did need investigating. A bulb was out on a bed side cabinet, surely this was a room check? A loose toilet seat needed tightening up , and the shower, on ‘it’s hottest setting’ was tepid look warm. Also the central heating was not on, I mentioned this to the manager on shift whom was great and came to see me during my evening meal and made a point of approaching me which was really nice and showed the establishment management where kept informed of issues as guest checked in well done staff! , however a heater never appeared. Later in the evening I resided in my second room, again there was no heating. The girl behind the bar was superb and so apologetic"

Excellent food at a good price. Friendly attentive staff. Located in Penryn just outside Falmouth. It does not appear to have a car park, that's about the only thing against it.

This is a little gem of a place. If you are a student at Falmouth University you will know about this place. The food here is great and so are the staff. We came back a couple of nights later because we like the place so much.

Not the best. We had what was a full rack of ribs (1/4 rack of ribs) with runny coleslaw, shop bought greasy fries and questionable home made BBQ sauce. Maybe we just expect more than what we can do at home nowadays for £40 plus pounds.

Fabulous stay for a friends birthday. Nothing was too much trouble, the whole team went above and beyond to make our time special. Rooms are lovely, beds are so comfortable. Dinner was outstanding. Breakfast was the best we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this place. Speisekarte ansehen

Lovely place to eat , great service and atmosphere. Lots of options not available due to delivery shortages, however the staff explained this the menu was vast. We really enjoyed the food and the burger deal. £8-50 Also got nhs discount on other things. Would recommend great to have home made chips.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good choice of food especially vegan/vegetarian selection. Nicely done out. We both enjoyed what we ordered and would recommend eating here. Real chips too very rare nowadays. Delicious. Parking is difficult. May not be able to get parked outside and the car park is down a big hill so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Good selection of ales, etc.

We called in shortly before the food service ended and there were a few things off the menu, but there was still a good choice. We were advised we may have a wait as restaurant was busy, but food actually came fairly quickly. The meals were if a high standard and presented really well, and tasted as good as they looked. No room for puddings but the dessert menu looked amazing. Definitely worth a visit Speisekarte ansehen

Stayed for one night. Very welcoming and some good ales on tap. Had the burger for dinner and must say it was one of the best I have had for the money, great value! I stayed in room 4 which has a double bed, TV, coffee, tea, kettle, cups and saucers and was spotless clean. The room has an ensuite fully kitted. The room that I stayed in had a wonderful view of the harbour. I would highly recommend it! There is no parking as such, but if you head further down the road and follow the parking signs it leads you to a free car park that is only 5 minute's walk away.

Stayed here with my son on 14th/15th March 2023 as we were viewing Falmouth University. The Thirsty Scholar is about a 5 minute walk from Penryn train station. Very easy to locate. From the moment we stepped into The Thirsty Scholar we were made to feel at home. We had booked an evening meal which definitely did not disappoint. It was delicious. Staying overnight we had a lovely, comfortable,warm room with ensuite. All facilities met with a high standard. Being in a pub I expected some noise, but we hardly heard any. Breakfast was just as delicious and set us up for the day. As there was a train strike, the room we were staying in became available so we were offered a late check out at no ex...

"So let us share our experience, We went in tonight as a family after seeing that it home made food on the drive to sennen and looked online and had a good look at the food available on the menu also looking to see if it was dog friendly and it ticked all the boxes, Upon arrival me and my wife went in 1st to ask if we could have a table for food and if dogs can go inside and staff were a little unsure but they confirmed we could upon asking for a table for 7 but one in a pram he said we don’t have the availability to cater I was looking at a table big enough and eventually said that this table was available whilst being seated we had 2 table one clean and the 2nd just been finished with so needed a clean but he came and cleaned both tables and he squirted the cleaner on a clean table and the over spray bounced off the table and went over our selfs then we were handed a menu freshly printed A4 paper thrown on the table (WET TABLE) so they stuck to the table upon agreeing what we wanted we went to the bar within 2-3 mins of being seated we knew what we wanted and when we asked for the meal it was OUT OF STOCK (Sunday lunch) ok fair so as I was with a family member at the bar I quickly rushed back to the table to ask my daughter of an alternative she wasn’t happy, So I made a meal up of all the extras on the menu so I went back to the bar to find my family member ordered 2 fish and chips then I realised my wife also wanted Sunday lunch so I quickly rushed back to ask her what she wanted and went back to the bar just as my family member left and asked for fish and chips was also sold out also! 99% of the menu was SOLD OUT this should of been discussed upon arrival not as we were ordering I run and operate my own business and this isn’t how I would treat my customers this isn’t how an establishment should be ran! Even when I was standing trying to order a member of staff was standing there arm against the wall doing nothing while customers are standing waiting to be served! So we decided not to eat and my family member went back to the bar to ask for a refund as we couldn’t eat as a family and the staff were iffy about offering a refund but 10 minutes later they did refund my family member as it became a scene for other people as they could see what had happened! This establishment should be call the 1st and late time you come here! We ended up walking to the chip shop down the road for food we are very disappointed in this company and establishment! For anyone who wants to eat please make sure they HAVE STOCK how can this establishment run without stock? Never again tonight they lost over £200 revenue due to this situation!"
