    Great Pub Hotel in the heart of Falmouth

    Really comfy beds, and the deluxe room was fantastic on the corner with great views over the bay. Very dog friendly. Fantastic pub downstairs with a great atmosphere. Beware that it's a busy pub which can be loud, but that was perfect for us because we like that! Really close to the centre of town, just a steep walk up from town to the hotel. Lovely breakfast in the morning.

    As with many places in Cornwall the only issue is parking and having to walk some distance with bags etc.

    Clean comfortable rooms and dog friendly . Staff are always friendly and helpful. Great breakfast too

    Very limited evening menu so unfortunately we chose to eat out instead rather than dine in the pub which we had hoped to do and join the quiz..

    The hotel warns of some noise as the rooms are above the bars but on some nights it was louder than I anticipated so I used my noise cancelling earphones to prepare for sleep. But some guests, like my husband, will be able to ignore it.

    A beautiful spacious room with a fantastic view over rooftops to the bay. Breakfast was generous. All the staff were great, friendly and helpful.

    WiFi poor but better in the bar area. Some noise from the pub in the evenings, wasn’t an issue for me and the owners make this very clear in their comms but useful to be aware. Parking a bit of a challenge but we visited on a very busy weekend fir Falmouth

    Great location, staff very helpful and friendly, nice cosy room. Pub is also friendly and a great for a nightcap. Breakfast was nice. Visited during the Shanty weekend, had a great time and would stay here again

    The TV did not work as not linked to the Internet. Talking downstairs in the pub till 1am was unexpected.

    Location was good. Room was comfortable. Dressing gowns were nice to have as the bathroom/toilet were separate. Also good to have a wash basin in the room.

    Very noisy the night I stayed as there was live music directly beneath my room until late. Pub seating outside on the street just below my window (which wouldn’t close) meant extra noise from people laughing and chatting outside. All meant a very late night for me - walking the Coast Path with long days means I need a good night’s sleep! I was exhausted the next day. Carpets leading up the stairs to the rooms are absolutely filthy - not a good first impression. Breakfast very basic - would be nice to have some fruit on offer. I wouldn’t stay again.

    Friendly staff, room had everything I needed and a great hospitality tray including a coffee maker.

    On approach to the building thought where are we now. Went inside to be met by the bar staff who showed us to our room which for the money was excellent, clean tidy and well stocked for different teas and coffee making machine, nice biscuits and both still and fizzy Cornish water. Access to town was 192 steps down the Jacobs ladder for us but found in the morning that there was an easier route. It is first and foremost a pub serving the area with events on most nights but with lovely rooms above and great breakfast in the morning. Having done the fisherman’s friends at the minaic theatre earlier it was a quaint drive to the pub with the option to enjoy the evening how we liked.

    We enjoyed it but we'd recommend those who want a quiet room to not book over the weekend, the pub is lively and has many events in the evenings.

    The staff were all delightful, we felt very well looked after during our stay. Also the room was generously sized, clean and nicely decorated. The roast dinner in the pub was delicious too, I highly recommend!
