The Spotlight on Penny Farthing Inn

Charming Victorian Escape Steps from St. Augustine's Live Music Scene

Nestled in the heart of historic St. Augustine, the Penny Farthing Inn is a cozy and romantic bed and breakfast with genuine old-world charm. Just a short stroll from the city's top live music venues and historic attractions, this quaint inn blends comfort with a touch of English elegance. Each room is uniquely styled with Victorian décor, and some even boast fireplaces or private balconies—perfect for unwinding after a night out. Enjoy complimentary WiFi, free parking, and a daily classic English breakfast that hits the spot after a late evening.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just 984 feet from Old St Augustine Village, Freedom Trail, and The Ximenez-Fatio House—making it an easy walk to some of the area’s most charming music venues and bars. The inn is tucked away on a quiet street, so you can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep after the show. With check-in from 3:00 PM and a relaxed checkout at 11:00 AM, there’s no rush in the morning. Plus, free on-site parking means no post-show parking headaches.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore St. Augustine’s historic bar and music scene
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist in a cozy setting
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet, comfy place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who appreciate included perks like breakfast and parking

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even after a late night) with a full English breakfast served daily. While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, the inn is within easy walking distance of great local eateries and pubs that serve food into the evening. Complimentary sherry in your room adds a nice touch for a pre-show sip or nightcap.

Nightlife Options

While the inn itself keeps things quiet, you’re only minutes away from St. Augustine’s vibrant nightlife. Enjoy nearby live music venues, cozy pubs, and cocktail lounges. Whether you’re in the mood for acoustic sets or energetic cover bands, it’s all within reach.

What People Say

Guests love the warm hospitality and historic charm. Many highlight the central location, spotless rooms, and delicious breakfast. The peaceful ambiance and friendly staff consistently earn high marks, especially from concert-goers wanting a restful stay.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a big hotel with modern facilities—so don’t expect 24/7 room service or a gym. The Victorian style may feel dated to some, but most guests find it delightfully nostalgic. Also, keep in mind that room sizes vary.

The Bottom Line

For music fans who want to stay close to the action but retreat to a charming and peaceful setting, the Penny Farthing Inn is a hidden gem in historic St. Augustine.

Superb

Liked: This place is beautiful and well-kept. It's private & quiet. Access to hot coffee and tea 24-7. The location is perfect for walking to the riverfront and historic downtown. I felt safe in the neighborhood as a solo female traveler.
Disliked: There were two inconveniences. The first is there is no ice or refrigerator available. The other was the parking. The lot is alongside the house and very tight. You will have to reverse out and it is a tight squeeze even in a small car.
