Penny Farthing Inn

Exceeded every expectation. For the cost of a 2star hotel they delivered 5 star luxury. This is by far one of the nicest surprises of our trip! From the forest cake and wine offered during the day to brandy on a private porch to the best eggs Benedict I have ever had! We will make Penny Farthing Inn a tradition whenever visiting St Augustine in the future.

thank you for your wonderful review, were so happy you had a great stay at the Pennyfarthinginn. Have a wonderful weekend Marie and Dave

The house was located outside of the busy section of St. Augustine but close enough to walk to everything. The room was great! We would stay here again.

it was nice meeting you both were glad you enjoyed your stay at the pennyfarthinginn. take care Marie and Dave

This was our first time as a B&B guest. We had a wonderful time. The location was central to everything but quiet and comfortable. Due to the owners and staff, we felt like family after only a few hours. We will definitely be back.

We stayed two nights at the Penny Farthing Inn in late November 2012 and would highly recommend it. The Inn is within walking distance of the historical area and many fine restaurants. It is beautifully decorated in Victorian style with many interesting antiques and accessories of the period. We stayed in the Victorian room, with a very large bedroom and sitting area, but a small bathroom and particularly small, out-dated sink area. The breakfast was delicious and adequate in size. The Inn's owner and staff were very friendly and helpful and provided extras including wine/sherry/port, snacks, and coffee/tea at various points throughout the day.

I've been to B&B's from Kentucky to the Keys...Penny Farthing Inn was definitely one of the most cozy ones. I was very satisfied with not only the Inn itself, but also the location. Will definitely return.

The Penny Farthing is as nice an Inn as I have stayed and I have been in B&B'S from VA to FL. The hospitality was second to none and the quaintness simply added to it's charm. Thanks you for a lovely stay. Todd Young

We wanted to Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year thanks for your kind words we appreciate it. marie Dave and Betty

My husband & I came to St. Augustine for a romantic weekend getaway. We have stayed at other places there that were beautiful but now that we've stayed at the Penny Farthing Inn, we will not stay anywhere else. Penny's Attic was a quaint, nicely decorated room with a beautiful private rooftop porch. Marie and Betty took such good care of us that we thought they could actually read our thoughts! Breakfasts were delicious, especially because we had perfect weather for dining at their outdoor tables. This Inn is in a great location-you can walk everywhere but are not surrounded by the hustle & bustle that could keep you up at night. We are looking forward to our next stay already!

We wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year thanks for the wonderful review Marie Dave and Betty

Our daughter is visiting Flagler College and we decided not to stay at a hotel...this was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast (my husband was skeptical). We stayed in the "Attic" and it was awesome!!!! Convenient to everything, the host and hostesses were great and so accommodating, the private balcony amongst the treetops was soooooo relaxing and special. We have already decided that if our daughter choses Flagler then this will be our home away from home!!!

We wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, thanks for the wonderful review Mrie Dave and Betty

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful weekend in St Augustine; we stayed at our first B&B; Penny Farthing Inn was charming, clean and a perfect location to the historic area, withing walking distance to everything. The innkeepers Marie and David were very personable and warm. Breakfast was delicious both days and afternoon wine and snacks were delightful. We both were so please with our stay we have booked another weekend in July. Judy and John

My husband and I stayed at the Penny Farthing for a romantic 12th year anniversary just last week during Valentines Weekend. We absolutely adored it. It was fulfilling and pleasurable. Dave, Marie and Betty were super. We are very busy in our everyday schedules and it was nice to get away in such a beautiful place. I loved the tree house and will make plans to stay again. I am planning a girls retreat in August and this is where I will be booking my stay. Thank you Dave and Marie you will always have a place in our memories right next to our hearts.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at the Penny Farthing Inn and had an absolutely wonderful time. Marie, Dave and Betty were very warm and friendly. Everything was perfect, and I mean everything!! Thank you so much!!

My husband and I stayed at the Penny Farthing Inn about a week ago. Dave and Marie were so welcoming and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious! We stayed in The Dawn room and absolutely loved it. It was my first time at a bed and breakfast and what a great 1st experience it was. I will definitely stay there again.

Anne & I pulled into the B & B in the late afternoon, Marie patiently awaiting our arrival on the porch with a big cheerful smile. From that point on, smiles ruled every moment of our stay in the beautiful Victorian mansion. No innkeeper could have done more to assure that her guests felt like they were royalty. The aroma of freshly baked muffins & cookies welcomed us upon entering the main house. Fresh coffee & tea were prepared within moments of expressing a desire for them. The breakfast plate, an array of home made goodies, presented with pride, was enough to hold us until the evening. Our room was spotless and adorned with enough period pieces that one could have easily thought that they had crossed the Big Pond and were nestled in Great Britain. The inn, comfortably situated on a quaint, quiet side street, was only a few short blocks from the main tourist areas, shops, and shore. Marie's friendliness and desire to make our stay special took us by surprise. She welcomed the opportrunity to share her knowledge of the area and was always available to sit and chat. She was as good of a listener as she is a storyteller, prompting Anne and me to agree that it was Marie's presence that made our visit to Saint Augustine one that we'll never forget. Without a doubt, Penny Farthing will be our "home away from home" whenever we return to the area. Barry, Vero Beach, FL

We just returned from a two-day stay at the Penny Farthing Inn in St Augustine, Florida. The Inn is a quaint victorian-style Inn right across the street from Flagler College property. It is very convenient and a short walk to the historic district and fort. The sleeping quarters, dining room, and main gathering rooms were very charming and clean. Breakfasts were fit for a King and Queen and should not be missed. There is no need for lunch afterwards. Marie and Dave were our hosts and we could not have asked for any better. Both are from England and their "European hospitality" was superb. Both were attentive and very informative. Their staff were most gracious too! You can't beat the value for this get-away destination.

We have decided to stay here at the last minute and called the INN from the car. The Innkeeper, David and Marie were very friendly and nice people and we really enjoyed the stay there. Too bad, we only stayed one night.

We just got back from 3 day stay at the Penny Farthington. It was lovely and exciting I must say. Betty the inkeeper and Maria and Husband are very special people. Lovely just like their bed and breakfast. The food is delicious as well and we plan to return for our Anniversary this year. You feel like you step back in time surrounded by a cozy home feeling . Very special place. So lovely and Graceful. Tammy and Michael

My husband and I decided to try a Bed and Breakfast for our 3 year anniversary. Marie, the proprietor, was the most gracious and helpful host we could have asked for! We stayed in Penny's Attic, which was a lovely, quiet, secluded room at the top of the inn. It was a lot of stairs to walk every day, but well worth the climb. The room was charming...a mix of antiques and modern refurnishing. It was more than enough room for 2 people. The only complaint we had was the mattress was very hard, but we are used to a soft mattress, so this is just a preference. The breakfast that Marie made every morning was delicious and very filling. My husband and I could not have asked for a better place to celebrate 3 years together! We will be coming back to the Penny Farthing in the future!

We stayed at the penny farthing inn for our 31st anniversary. It was our first time at a bed and breakfast. It was a marvelous time. Romantic,comfortable. The owners could not do enough for us. We go to St. Augustine every year for our anniversary. We will be staying the Inn again next year..

This was our first stay in a B&B. Well can I say, I will never stay in another hotel. Dave, Marie and Betty were fantastic, and they have a lovely place. Very nicely docorated, extremely clean, warm and welcoming. Our room was very comforable, and you wanted for nothing. The breakfast was out of this world. Betty out did herself. When we are in St. Augustine again, you can be sure that, that is the place we will stay. You must go and check it out, you will not be disappointed.

I stayed in the Victoria and absolutely loved it! The Inn is lovely and Marie is delightful. This Inn truly has an excellent location. It is within walking distance of everything yet it is away from the car traffic noise of the Bayfront and the people noise from St. George Street, so you can easily rest at night. Parking was a breeze. I can't wait to go back!

This was our first stay in a B&B. What a wonderful experience. We fell in love with the house since we love antiques. The owners were very friendly and seem to enjoy getting to know their guests. There have been many improvements to the house since Dave and Marie purchased it almost two years ago. They are planning more amenities in the future. My husband and I both would highly recommend the Penny Farthing Inn to everyone wanting a unique getaway. We stayed in the LaCasita. We could walk to almost everything in town and enjoyed our visit to St. Augustine very much. We had a genuine "English" breakfast our last morning and hated to leave. We look forward to staying at the Inn again and saying...."Top of the Morning" to Dave and Marie! R Cook

My wife and I stayed in the Tree House. It was very clean and quiet. The owners Dave, Marie and son Matt made sure everything was right and were very friendly.We felt welcome and comfortable from the greeting at the door and throughout our stay. Lynn was very nice and breakfast was great. We have stayed ant many hotels but this is the first B&B we stayed at and enjoyed it very much. I would recommend Penny Farthing Inn as a Bed and Breakfast to stay at. While you are there ask about the history.

The owners Dave and Marie were outstanding, made you feel very welcome. Marie was very animated with her story-telling of the house, the army men, and don't forget to ask about the love letters. She made my boyfrind's birthday very special. We didn't want to leave. I had such a good time that I cryed when it was time to leave. Never done that before. She was so kind and knew how much fun we had.She let us linger in the room an extra hour because no one else was checking in that day. They were great and helped us plan a carriage ride with the best guy in town.

My husband and I stayed in the Victoria room for a weekend in February 2008. We cannot say enough about how wonderful this inn is. The hosts / owners Dave and Marie were great.. They made every guest feel like family. We hated to see Sunday come. This is by far the best Inn we have ever stayed inn . It's close to everything. The goumet breakfast we had every morning was great ! We are looking forward to staying here again as soon as we can !!!

I stayed in Penny's Attic and it was outstanding. The Inn Keepers Dave and Diane were just awesome made you feel right at home, and were very pleasant. I will certainly stay there again. Very nice!

This was the best B&B I have visited in St. Agustine and we have stayed at 5 others. The owners really make you feel at home and the room was Great! Everything was Great!!
