The B&B is well located and the food is superb. Due to its location and the demand for the rooms, it is a bit pricey but I guess is all down to supply/demand factors rather than any other thing. Anyway, I would stay there again if I could.

Lovely find, just a short way out of Falmouth.
If you stay here then we’d recommend eating here as well. Food choices in the town are limited but don’t worry the food in the pub is excellent.

Note parking is off-premises, but there are public car park(s) within walking distance with free overnight parking. The staff kindly gave up their own car park place for me when I turned up as a late (indeed, last minute) arrival. Excellent service throughout. Enjoyed the food, too.

This pub/guesthouse was the highlight of our trip to southern England. What a charming place! The rooms are super nice and renovated with a wonderful view of Falmouth Bay (some rooms - request this). The owners are wonderful people and the restaurant is very popular and delicious. This is the perfect place to stay to visit your child who attends Exeter University/Falmouth University Penryn campus, which is why we were there. A quick bus ride or walk into Falmouth town.

Brilliant bathroom with great rainfall showerhead. Walk to station to go to Falmouth. Easy drive to Lands End and all beaches in between. Brilliant food.

I enjoyed the stay and liked the room which was stylish and comfortable. Bike storage was ok but needed my own locks. Staff were kind and helpful.
