Amazing service!

Booked very last minute, and received a very warm welcome after a long journey. The manager was so friendly, sorted out parking for me and nothing was too much trouble. The room was immaculate and the food amazing, will definitely book in advance of any future trips

Central to Falmouth. Room overlooking the harbour, was exceptionally clean. Staff are lovely, loved all the historic elements, good food options and a lovely pub right underneath. Quite a few stairs, so be warned if less able but i managed and im heavily arthritic. Couple areas where room walls could donwith a freshen up, but the fact it was noticeable was doilwn to everywhere else was clean and pristine.

Great stay in Falmouth

Superior room was comfortable and great value for money. Mid-winter so no noise issues from pub guests outside. Staff very friendly. The breakfast smashed avocado on baguette with a poached egg was very tasty, as was the scambled on baguette. The location is ideal for exploring the centre of Falmouth and the dining room has great harbour views. No parking but longterm parking options not too far away.

Avoid. Incredibly noisy because outside your window the drinking and shouting at the outdoor bars goes on until we’ll after 1am. Then the crescendo of staff tipping thousands of glass bottles into bins. The walls between rooms are also thin but that’s nothing compared to the din from outside this timber hotel with old windows which do nothing to stop all the noise. Truly terrible.

We were made very welcome at the Chainlocker by all the staff who were clearly taking all measures to ensure safety guidelines with covid19 were adhered to. Very organised and well thought-out. The room was lovely, and very comfy bed. Good quality bed linens and very attractive interior with strong nautical theme. Very clean. Loved it! Th breakfast was really good ( we had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, well cooked and presented ) with beautiful views outside over the harbour entrance. Very friendly and attentive lady called Aida served us, always smiling! I worked in the Chainlocker 35 years ago when it was just a pub. I was blown away by the transformation of the accommodation and restaurant upstairs, and very glad to see the original pub/bar downstairs had maintained it's Cornish soul! We will definitely be coming again.

Weekend away.

Chain Locker is a vibrant friendly place, walking distance of good restaurants and shops. Food in the Chainlocker is very good if you don’t feel like going out. I enjoyed the interesting views of harbour while eating the lovely breakfast. The room was very well equipped, lovely onsuite shower. Due to the character of the place, the room was not large but functional. My feeling was it was great for 1-2 nights.
