9.2/10 Wonderful! (646 reviews)
This is a motel. All the reviews I read said this place would be the best place to stay in Falmouth. Yes it was on the beach and yes it had a lovely view of the harbour and yes it was convenient for the ferry to MV. But it was the most expensive place we stayed and was just a motel with some beach chairs. A coffee hut outside from 7am. No coffee making facilities in room and a very basic plastic encased shower. Stunning view over the ocean but not worth the money. We used the complimentary bikes (these were a bonus) to ride to town for meal in the evening.
