Faultless Stay
Simply a perfect stay! From check-in to check-out, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is spotlessly clean, breakfast superb (well worth £5, that's for sure!) and make sure you try the homemade jam. Given availability, I don't think there's anywhere else I'd stay in Falmouth from now on - can't recommend it enough. Many thanks, and hope to see you again soon

A beautiful little guest house!
What a beautiful little guest house. From check-in to check-out and everything in between, our long weekend break at the Falmouth Bay Guest House was perfect. Andy and Jenny were amazing hosts; very welcoming and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The entire guest house is superbly finished to a high standard and the cleanliness was just like home. It was so nice to walk into a fresh and relaxing scent. Falmouth Bay is in a fantastic location with 2 beaches and the town centre within a short walk; we didn’t need to use the car all weekend. We enjoyed some beautiful walks along the South West Costal path, which was much needed after the delightful breakfasts that got our days off to a great start - delicious 😋 We would highly recommend this guest house and would be in no doubt of booking again if we revisit Falmouth. Be sure to pay a visit to Gylly Beach Cafe too - a perfect spot for a delicious coffee and cake looking out over the beach. Thank you for a lovely stay. ☺️

Excellent stay for 3 nights at the end of July 2020. Jenny and Andy are wonderful hosts. Breakfast is fantastic, our room and the property were very clean and modern. Just a short walk to the beaches and town so no need to drive or get a taxi. When we go back to Falmouth we will make sure to book here again. James and Sarah.
