We love this hotel. The staff is always lovely and very helpful. They couldn't do enough for you. The accommodation is clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is included and you can choose the night before what you would like. They have rooms on the ground floor if you cannot manage the stairs, one of which comes with its own private patio facing the ocean. The location is amazing, right in front of the ocean, by an award winning beach. 10min walk from the center of town. We always stay here when in Falmouth. Highly recommend.

Lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean and modern spacious ensuite rooms with parking on site. Friendly and helpful staff and offer an exceptional full English breakfast. Other breakfasts are available. No lunch or evening meal provided but the management allow take away meals to be delivered in for consumption. A short walking distance to the beach and sea front with a cafe bar. Short distance to Falmouth Town Centre offering bars and restaurants for all comers. Cosy bar overlooking the ocean. Can highly recommend and will be returning

We have just had the best two nights stay. We found out at check-in on Friday that we had been given an upgrade to sea view. Sandra is amazing and made our stay so very special (I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you before I went bed). I'm already asking Jason when we can come back! All the staff are friendly and

A gem of a hotel. We visited in January '26 during the cold snap. Gylly beach cafe (best fish and chips ever!) over the road serves excellent food and drink so not far to walk for evening refreshment. Room was warm, comfy and spotless. Great sea view. Lovely hot shower. Full English Breakfast - pre booked the night before - was delicious and plentiful. Kettle & cups etc in the room, help yourself to as much Tea, Coffee, bottled water etc as you like from station in reception and make it in your room. Staff were universally cheerful, friendly and helpful. Very nice place to stay.
