Guests are charmed by the cottage's prime location, high-spec decor, and comfortable furnishings. The property's central position in Falmouth and harbour views are frequently praised.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable, though a few noted areas for improvement, such as bins not emptied and surfaces needing additional cleaning. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a common trend.
The location is consistently lauded for its centrality and proximity to local amenities and the harbour, making it an ideal base for exploring Falmouth.
The majority of guests report a high level of comfort, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. However, some guests experienced noise from a nearby social club and had to purchase fans due to the heat.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. Some guests struggled with appliance usage and there were occasional maintenance issues, but these were often quickly resolved.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful hospitality, including welcome gifts and personal touches. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided on every occasion.
