“Lovely pub in a quiet location. Room was a nice size with a comfortable bed and good en-suite. Parking only a 5 minute walk and we chose to leave the car and get the bus into Falmouth, which was really easy and accessible. Breakfast was fabulous too.”

“I liked all the little things about the room like the lights in the floor lighting up the bathroom. I also loved the food. It was a very quiet location. The woman that owned it had tried out each room which I liked and was also exceptionally nice.”
