Restaurant service at both breakfast and dinner, painfully slow. Having been seated, we then waited ten minutes for a menu. Then another long wait for the order to be taken. Long waits between courses. Coffee/ tea served first at breakfast, but obviously cold by the time cooked food arrived 25 minutes later. I understand that some people eat from the continental buffet whilst waiting- we don’t. An observant server would have noticed this and notified the kitchen. The restaurant was never more than half-full. The food was good when it finally arrived. On the plus side, the bar service was exemplary. Order taken and food and drink arrived promptly.

A Must Stay
Soon as you walk into reception you’re greeted by friendly smiling staff who checked us in quickly, explained all about the hotel, brilliant start to the most amazing long weekend that just got better. It’s a place you can just stay there for your vacation and not venture out, beautiful, peaceful and you will not want for anything.

We loved this hotel in Falmouth. Great service from the minute we were generously offered a welcome drink on check in, convenient free parking and a great location. Room was great and the bathroom had lovely big fluffy bath towels and nice products. Breakfast was outstanding, I have high expectations for the dinner service! Our last minute 1 night stay went far too quickly so we'll be back for a few nights next time to make the most of the hotel, spa, bar and restaurant! Really pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Thank you.

Great breakfast and the bar food is good. The general areas are well kept and comfortable with plenty of staff to attend to any needs. Views out to sea and the terraces lovely also access to the beach is a convenient walk away. The pool is clean and not overly busy but needs some repairs. The main restaurant food doesn’t quite live up to expectations. However, the sea facing bedrooms are well appointed and spacious.

The hotel looks very good, clean, comfortable beds and they also have a good size and very clean bathroom . The star of this hotel is the terrace and having breakfast/ dinner there watching the sea is just amazing! The breakfast was good but the service provided by the gentleman (Allan) who served is was outstanding! We would definitely come back!
