“What struck me most is the charm of this place, particularly its maritime roots and the rare perk of private pontoons, ideal for boaters; the on-site pub, The Working Boat, adds to its appeal with a lively, community feel. The award-winning restaurant impressed me, showcasing local seafood with finesse, while the rooms-especially those harbour-facing-promise memorable views, styled with a nautical touch; I think it's a great option for exploring Falmouth.”
