The Falmouth Hotel

Now back under local ownership, The Falmouth Hotel is waking from a long sleep to begin a brand-new chapter. Perched on the edge of Falmouth’s enchanting seafront, just a stone’s throw from Castle Beach below, an age-old elegance permeates the Victorian architecture that dates back to 1865. Housing 71 elegant rooms over four floors, each with a unique flair and many complete with breathtaking views out over the water, a stay at The Falmouth radiates a nostalgic charm. A hearty breakfast is available each morning, with a day of Cornish adventure lying right on the doorstep. Free parking offers a laid-back convenience, while complementary WiFi means you can remain connected throughout your stay. When it comes to food, the Castle View restaurant offers an elegant dining experience with a stunning sea vista, while the Castle View bar and lounge invites leisurely relaxation with a hot coffee or a glass of something chilled. Days in the sun can be enjoyed from the peaceful terrace and sweeping lawns that wrap around the property, not to mention the stretch of sand and rockpools on the beach below. With the additions of a gym, sauna, hot tub and indoor pool, as well as bespoke spa treatments, The Falmouth is well equipped for a seaside stay to remember.

Lovey hotel, with value for money and fantastic views

Pros: Gorgeous building in a great location and fantastic views. Lots of parking too I love the old grandeur of the place, rooms were maybe done in the 80’s / 90’s in not such a nice way. It would be nice to see them restored sympathetically incorporating that old grandeur. Lobby and bar area were lovely, the spa looked lovely too but didn’t get chance to use sadly.

Cons: The room was a little old and tired, I know rooms are being refurbished though and there are a lot to get through. The room where breakfast was served could also benefit to be renovated to be in keeping with how the bar area has been done.

We would stay again.

Pros: The old style glamour and decor, it's next to brilliant beaches, the town and other cafes. The view from the lounges and dining areas changes with the weather, you never know what colour the sea will be from minute to minute. Beds were really comfortable. The food was of a great standard.

Cons: Not a problem for us we loved our stay in Jan 2026 but customers should be aware, that the hotel is going through renovations discreetly , the public room and many bedrooms have been upgraded, but some are being done slowly without causing noise and disruption to other hotel guests, so worth checking if you want a newly decorated room.
