Visiting for Verdant beer

Really nice modern tastefully decorated property. Our room, 2, was spacious with a sea view and sitting area. Bed was OK, but mattress was disappointingly thin and would have been much more comfortable with a deeper and firmer mattress. Breakfast is an additional small charge but is a lovely cooked breakfast with a small continental buffet selection, so we had it all 3 days. Paid in cash for this. Breakfast timing was restricted to 8.30 - 9.15 which may not suit everyone. No Reception here but friendly hosts are contactable. This is quite a 'hands-off' property which again may not suit everyone. Towels are changed if asked. Rooms not serviced during 3 day duration, but again, hosts are contactable if required. Check-in was a little confusing as we were under the impression that hosts are on site 4-6pm so we did not give them an ETA as that's the window we were aiming for (8 hour drive is difficult to predict an ETA anyway) but we were contacted while travelling for an ETA because they were out for the day. All worked out in the end and we were checked in on arrival with absolutely no issues. Would definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area. Parking spaces for 4 cars and on street parking available. Close to train station, 10 min walk. We stayed to Visit Verdant Taproom in Penryn which is a 10 minute train ride away and a 15 minute walk at the other end. Also recommend visiting their Seaview Inn pub in Falmouth, about 15 minute walk away.

Faultless Stay

Simply a perfect stay! From check-in to check-out, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is spotlessly clean, breakfast superb (well worth £5, that's for sure!) and make sure you try the homemade jam. Given availability, I don't think there's anywhere else I'd stay in Falmouth from now on - can't recommend it enough. Many thanks, and hope to see you again soon

A beautiful little guest house!

What a beautiful little guest house.

From check-in to check-out and everything in between, our long weekend break at the Falmouth Bay Guest House was perfect.

Andy and Jenny were amazing hosts; very welcoming and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The entire guest house is superbly finished to a high standard and the cleanliness was just like home. It was so nice to walk into a fresh and relaxing scent.

Falmouth Bay is in a fantastic location with 2 beaches and the town centre within a short walk; we didn’t need to use the car all weekend. We enjoyed some beautiful walks along the South West Costal path, which was much needed after the delightful breakfasts that got our days off to a great start - delicious 😋

We would highly recommend this guest house and would be in no doubt of booking again if we revisit Falmouth. Be sure to pay a visit to Gylly Beach Cafe too - a perfect spot for a delicious coffee and cake looking out over the beach.

Thank you for a lovely stay. ☺️
