    beautifully decorated accommodation
    helpful owner

    central spot for city strolls and beautiful park views

    I really enjoyed my time here, especially how close it was to Fox Rosehill Gardens where I spent lovely afternoons strolling, and it was just a short walk to Falmouth Art Gallery which had some incredible exhibits I loved exploring. I felt at home here because the kitchen was stocked with breakfast items, making it easy to grab a bite whenever I wanted during my three nights as a single traveler.

    The decor had a charming vintage touch.

    The room was quite cramped, making movement difficult.

    Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

    My solo night was peaceful, though I didn't meet any staff during my stay. The private bathroom was clean and convenient. I appreciated the quick email responses for inquiries. A tip , prepare for self-check-in, as the door may be open upon arrival.

    tasteful decor
    easy access
    cramped bathroom

    The room featured tasteful decor and cleanliness that made for a pleasant stay. Its proximity to the town and station allowed for easy access to local attractions and amenities.

    Echoes in the hallway were a bit off-putting. Footsteps and slamming doors at all hours disrupted the peace, especially when a guest came in late. The room felt a tad cramped, and the bathroom size wasn't ideal for families. One towel per person over two days felt insufficient, and the white curtains allowed too much light in at dawn.

    spotless room
    nautical vibe
    comfy kitchen
    cramped space

    I had a lovely stay with a spotless room that had a cute nautical vibe and a convenient en-suite shower. I enjoyed relaxing on the patio while sipping coffee and appreciated the comfy kitchen setup with breakfast goodies. It was a bit cramped around the bed, but that didn't take away from the overall stay. just be mindful when moving around! 🌊

    sea theme
    self-serve breakfast

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I loved my stay in this beautifully decorated room, where the sea theme made every corner feel refreshing! The location couldn't be better, just a short stroll to the harbour, surrounded by vibrant local shops and lively restaurants. And let me tell you, waking up to a self-serve breakfast with everything from fresh fruit to peanut butter was such a treat!

    comfy bed
    clean room
    lack of interaction
    self-check in

    Loved the comfy bed and the clean room! 🌟 It felt like a home away from home. The only downside was the lack of staff interaction, but I was mostly self-sufficient.

    charming decor
    well stocked kitchen

    excellent walkable access to parks and landmarks

    my stay was delightful as the charming decor of the room and the easy strolls to nearby attractions like Falmouth Library and the beautiful Queen Mary Gardens made my weekend feel special. The kitchen was well stocked with breakfast goodies for a perfect start to my day. single travelers will appreciate the friendly atmosphere and cleanliness throughout. but leaving windows open can let in unwanted smoke from nearby areas.
