“I think the sea-themed décor gives this small hotel a charming, quirky feel; its location is excellent, a short walk to the town's harbour, restaurants and shops. Breakfast is simple but adequate, and the courtyard provides a pleasant space to start the day before exploring Falmouth and its surroundings, including the nearby beaches and gardens. A return visit seems worthwhile.”
