Penny Farthing Inn

The Penny Farthing Inn’s name is a whimsical tribute to late 19th-century innovation. Named after the iconic high-wheel bicycle popular in the 1870s and 1880s—where a massive copper penny led a tiny farthing coin—these pioneering machines represented freedom, adventure, and the exciting romance of a bygone era. Rather than altering its historic footprint, every corner of the inn has been lovingly preserved, honoring its 1890s heritage with high, grand ceilings, magnificent stained-glass windows, and authentic period antiques creating a true sanctuary of old-world charm.

Your room is thoughtfully equipped with luxury Comphy® sheets, plush bathrobes, a 4K Smart TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, a ceiling fan, an electric fireplace, daily housekeeping, an iron and ironing board, and a modern bedside charging station with USB/USB-C outlets. Private bathrooms feature soft Turkish® towels, specialty Penny Farthing goat milk soaps from Live.Simple.Soap®, premium Beekman 1802® bath products, and a hair dryer.

Signature Suite Upgrades in select rooms include a private balcony or sun deck, a relaxing Jacuzzi or historic claw foot tub, an in-room coffee maker, a microwave, and a mini-fridge with freezer.

Tucked away on peaceful, tree-lined Cedar Street, our historic inn offers convenient on-site parking and a serene retreat just steps from the vibrant energy of downtown St. Augustine.
