Only feedback would be the bathroom doors didnât offer a lot of privacy, particularly if you are staying with extended family!

It is just a short wall into Falmouth , passing some great shops, bares , restaurants and bakers. It has a fantastic outside space to enjoy the sunshine. We loved Sunday lunch at The Star and Garter and got the ferry over to Flushing and went to The Harbour House. There is a market every Saturday outside the Maritime Museum which sold some great local produce. We would happily stay here again.
