Hotel Services

The Penny Farthing Inn offers on-site parking for one vehicle per room; smaller vehicles are preferred. Bike/scooter/Segway rentals are available for exploring the city. The Inn is a non-smoking establishment, with smoking allowed only in the driveway. Check-in is from 3 PM to 6 PM; late arrivals without notification incur a fee of $15.00 per hour. A $35 charge applies for each additional guest in rooms with double occupancy; Penny's Attic accommodates a maximum of three people. Note: Wheelchair accessibility via ramps is not available due to the historic nature of the building.

“I think this Victorian bed and breakfast balances historic charm with modern needs; rooms range from comfortable to somewhat cluttered, but its location near St. Augustine's historic district is a real advantage. The inn provides a social happy hour and quality breakfast, which foster a sense of community. While parking may be tricky for larger vehicles, the property's pet-friendly policy could appeal to some.”
