We arrived at the hotel late evening. Check in was easy, "Oh yes, double room, inland view, breakfast included, room 115", all very efficient. Up to our room, very clean and tidy, dumped the bags and back down to the lounge bar to relax after our 400 mile drive. 10 minutes later a call from reception, was our room ok? Yes, what we'd seen was ok., thank you. On returning to the room we realised that you had to slide sideways to get between the bed and wall to get into the bed from the other side, ducking under the TV shelf on the way. Opening the curtains in the morning to see that the 'Inland view' was a large frosted/opaque window that you couldn't see through at all, poetic licence in the extreme. However, the hotel is very quiet and very comfortable. The grounds are immaculate and the beach is only over the road. The room was very clean with an ample supply of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The staff were all excellent, including the receptionist with the sense of humour. Breakfast was great. We would definitely stay here again, but not in room 115 with the bed shoehorned in. Thank you very much for our stay.

Beautiful and charming stay in Falmouth

The Falmouth Hotel is a lovely place to stay, a hotel with character and charm. They have done a wonderful job of preserving the history of the building with modern updates to keep it comfortable. The spa was lovely and every meal I had at the restaurant was excellent. Wonderful value for money, and the view is incredible. I hope I get the chance to go back!

Almost Very Good

We have stayed at The Falmouth a number of times over the past 20 years, through a least 3 different management regimes, overall this was the best yet. Service was good, staff very efficient, parking OK. However a couple of things let it down, the bedroom is secondary glazed, one complete pane of glass was completely missing from an outer window, no explanation given and if not repaired it could have been boarded over. The bathroom had no blind just a flimsy net curtain that did not even cover the window.
Missing outer window glasss.

You can tell there are grand plans for this fabulous hotel. So glad it is being preserved as a hotel. We love staying here and since the takeover it is much improved. Staff deserve a special mention as they all went out of their way to help us have a great stay. We will definitely be back!
