The Rosemary Shortlist*
Falmouth, Cornwall
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘Great for a relaxing time’, Lynda and Malcolm Cook’s ‘delightful’ B&B has ‘fabulous’ views stretching across Falmouth Bay. The ‘friendly’ hosts welcome guests with a drink and lemon drizzle cake and provide tips on what to see and do in the area. ‘Shipshape’ bedrooms of the Edwardian town house are well supplied (fresh milk for hot drinks, filtered water, biscuits, spoiling toiletries, fluffy bathrobes); binoculars in sea-view rooms. Panoramas can be enjoyed in the lounge over a Cornish cream tea. The ‘beautiful’ garden at the back has a sun deck. Guests wanting to explore might ask for a picnic hamper, before embarking on a coastal ramble or trip to the beach. Breakfast has ‘first-class’ choices: home-made preserves, honey, fresh fruit or a Cornish cooked.

Other reviews
Great place for a relaxing time. Top of the range accommodation at a reasonable price. Everything shipshape with lots of attention to detail. Quiet, friendly owners - their knowledge of the area is second to none..Beautiful garden at the rear of property . Three-minute walk to the beach

Malcolm and Linda were very welcoming. Our rooms were lovely. One of our group is gluten intolerant, and she was delighted with the choice on offer. Situated a stone's throw from the lovely Gillyvase beach and a ten-minute leisurely walk to the shops and harbour. A real gem.

We have just returned from our stay, and what a pleasure it was. Linda and Malcolm made us feel at home with a welcome drink on arrival and a slice of lemon drizzle cake. A short walk to the beach and ten minutes into Falmouth centre makes this an excellent base for the area. Room and breakfast were both of a high standard.
