Joanne says… I really liked this hotel; it’s a beautiful building in an excellent location overlooking Falmouth Bay. The public areas have been refurbished to a very high standard and look stunning! There are some lovely features including a grand staircase and an ornate mosaic tiled floor which they only recently discovered under the carpets! This is a fantastic hotel and an ideal base for exploring this popular area. “
