Just got back from a two night stay . Was a birthday celebration for my Husband. Booked the Armada suite. Arrived early but was pleased to be told that the room was ready . Friendly greeting from the concierge and reception. The Suite was very comfortable with great views. Coffee machine and complimentary chocolates and teas and coffee and biscuits. As we like to eat early we ate both evenings in the Lounge bar. the fish and chips were superb and my sirloin steak on the second night was also perfectly cooked. Slightly more informal but friendly service added to the experience. Breakfast also excellent with a decent cold buffet with local jams and honey and a made to order hot breakfast. Kippers were excellent and you dine with lovely views of the sea. Ordered a birthday cake and champagne which was delivered to the room with great ceremony and was excellent.
ÂŁ20.00 for a freshly made cake was I feel excellent value for money. The fact that the Hotel does not accept Pets is a huge bonus for us as I do not enjoy sharing restaurants and bars with our four legged friends.
The Hotel still provides a service which many Hotels no long do, old fashioned but also friendly. the leisure facilities were excellent, and as with all Brend Hotels I have stayed in was clean and well organised.

It doesn't come cheap, but what you buy is sophisticated cuisine, wonderful views from the terrace, classic afternoon tea, and spotlessly clean, attractive rooms.
Our willingness to tip was met with the advice to rather leave cash in a box at the reception. The proceeds are then divided among all staff, we learned. It appears socialism is alive and well in the poshed of places.

As with other Brend hotels in the SW, this one has the same high standards that can be relied upon.
Overlooking the beach on the edge of town, the hotel was very welcoming, warm and smart. I'd chosen one of the more reasonable priced rooms with an 'inland view' which was fine for me but even so, the kitchen roof certainly wasn't attractive at all! It was a cosy room with a cosier bathroom but to be expected. It would have been nice to have a small fridge and the luxury of daily fresh milk but perhaps I should pay extra for that. The bed was very comfortable, warm and had a pillow choice.
The best bit for me was the excellent food in the dining room. I'd previously mentioned a couple of food allergies so was offered a special menu each evening which was much appreciated as I knew I could eat anything listed. The beef carpaccio was the best ever as a starter. The service was attentive and friendly but not intrusive. Breakfast was very good too. Mainly buffet as usual with hot offer. Unfortunately one morning I had poached eggs expecting the eggs to taste of something but was disappointed. I didn't order them again,
My only gripe was that the door closers (automatically closing the bedroom doors along a long corridor) were super efficient, meaning that every closure sounded like a slam and was noisy. Constantly. Perhaps they could be adjusted to be a little more gentle to avoid the sound of slamming door throughout the day/evening?
Well done again to Brend hotels for such a lovely hotel and welcoming staff. I'll be back!

When you’re paying over £250 a night for b&b , you expect a bit of luxury. I came away with a feeling of disappointment that this wasn’t better. On the plus side, there was the swimming pool and sauna, the staff were excellent and the room was adequate. But who designed the bathroom? As most of the clients are elderly, one would expect a high-seat loo, not the low level one we had. The floor and walls were tiled but the grouting had gone dark in several places and the tiles are cold on the feet. The towels were very large but too large for the small heated towel rail. Little things like this matter. Breakfast, plenty of choice but the Full English was very ordinary: one sausage, two rashers, half a grilled tomato, one hash brown and some mushrooms. We could get better than this in a Premier Inn. There seemed to be a lot of penny-pinching going on; only three small UHT milk cartons per person per day, similarly only two biscuits each per person per day. Where were the fresh flowers in our room on arrival, a complimentary bottle of Prosecco, a personalised welcome note from the Manager? The website claims that all guests are offered an upgrade on arrival to a better quality room. We were told none were available despite the hotel being very quiet. Has anyone ever received an upgrade or is this a clever marketing ploy? Overall, we expected luxury for the price we paid and didn’t get it.

We booked in for one night having been recommended the hotel by a friend. We were not disappointed! What a find- from arrival to departure we were made to feel welcome and highly valued. The staff were very attentive but not intrusive, the facilities were first class, the rooms extremely comfortable and above all the hotel was spotless and really well maintained. we didn't dine in as we had been invited elsewhere but talking to other guests on our return they were very complimentary about the cooking. Breakfast was delicious with an extensive choice. We will definitely be back.

Booked DB&B through Travelzoo which reduced the standard price considerably & gave us a bottle of house wine plus afternoon scone and cup of tea. The room was a little small although it and the whole hotel was very clean. Lovely position and views from the front. The dinner men didn't change daily (other than the soup) which is rather limiting if you are staying for several days. There is a bar menu as well but you cannot have items off that menu in the main restaurant. The tea we requested with breakfast was not piping hot but was very strong it had obviously been hanging around in the kitchen. Also the bread for the toast wasn't the best, rather limp. In other hotels of comparable price (even with the discounts it wasn't cheap) use sourdough for example. In my opinion a good hotel for a short break.

We dropped in one evening for a cocktail, and then decided to return for dinner, we were glad we did.
We loved this place !
The views are amazing, the restaurant oozes class and felt very special with the white linen, and impeccably dressed tables.
We enjoyed our meal very much.
Can’t wait to return when visiting Falmouth.
Thank you

Stayed for 3 nights over a weekend in March. We had a basic sea view room that was very comfortable and well appointed. The extra cost of the sea view room was well worth it. The en-suite bathroom had a bath and spacious separate large shower. We had breakfast every day and dined in one night of our stay and found both the service and food to be excellent. The hotel has a very good indoor pool with ample surrounding chairs and loungers. There is just a sauna at the pool side and a small gym both of which we did not try. The hotel is in a good location both for walking into Falmouth town or along to the nearby beach and coast path. We would certainly stay at this hotel again if visiting Falmouth.
