PENNY FARTHING INN, St. Augustine

The inn sits on a quiet side street just 300 metres from Old St Augustine Village, Freedom Trail, and The Ximenez Fatio House. It is an 8-10 minute walk to the historic district, shops, and the waterfront. The area is rated top in St. Augustine for walkability, allowing car-free exploration of attractions, restaurants, and museums. For those driving, free on-site parking is available but requires a reservation and is recommended for smaller cars due to limited space.

Each room includes complimentary sherry, free toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and a hair dryer. Select rooms feature private balconies (some with hammocks or swings), fireplaces, spa baths, or patios. The Windsor room includes a kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, and sink. The Treehouse suite offers a unique elevated balcony with a wooded view. Rooms can be small; some have limited storage or high beds that may challenge mobility. The Elizabeth Bedchamber has a particularly compact bathroom with a plastic shower curtain. Room 6 (Penny's Attic) on the third floor is spacious and includes a sitting area. Ground-floor rooms like the Catherine Bedchamber offer a private balcony and a garden tub. All rooms are non-smoking and equipped with heating and parquet floors.

Breakfast includes classic English menu items such as eggs, bacon, pancakes, and pastries, and is served in the dining room or on the patio. The property accommodates special diets-request gluten-free toast or pancakes, and vegan pancakes in advance. A happy hour with wine and snacks is offered daily from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The inn does not have a restaurant; for other meals, numerous dining options are within a short walk, including Sweetwater Coffee Bar & Gallery (0.5 km), Preserved Restaurant (0.5 km), and Cellar 6 (0.5 km).
