    limited parking
    noisy environment

    The pub’s decor looks outdated, with cobwebs in light fixtures and noise from the kitchen interrupting peace!!! Parking options are inconvenient, with restricted areas making it a real hassle to find a spot nearby!!!

    Comfortable stay with excellent breakfast

    I had a wonderful one-night stay in a cozy Double Room with Bathroom, featuring a lovely view of the estuary. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home, and the breakfast with fresh local ingredients was a highlight that I thoroughly enjoyed. parking can be a bit tricky since the nearest lot is a short walk away.

    great place to stay near falmouth

    The room was cozy with a lovely hot shower and all the essentials like free toiletries, kettle, and flat-screen TV. The breakfast was fantastic, featuring fresh local ingredients. Staff were super friendly and helpful, making the atmosphere really welcoming. Plus, the location is perfect for exploring south Cornwall. Just a heads up, the stairs can be steep!

    great stay but some room for improvement

    The service was friendly and attentive throughout our three-night stay. The breakfast provided each morning was very good, with a variety of options that catered to different tastes.

    The parking situation was a bit challenging if you opted to use your car for travel.

    Friendly vibes and yummy food

    I had a great time at this place! The staff were super chill, making me feel right at home. Adele was a star, helping me with my bags and getting me sorted with a ride to the car park. The breakfast? YUM! Only thing was, it could get a bit noisy at night, but that's part of the pub charm.
