The Rosemary Shortlist*
Falmouth, Cornwall
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘Fabulous’ views stretch across Falmouth Bay from Lynda and Malcolm Cook’s relaxing B&B. The ‘friendly’ hosts welcome guests with a drink and home-baked cake, and provide tips on what to see and do in the area. ‘Shipshape’ bedrooms on the first and second floors of the Edwardian town house are well supplied with filtered water, biscuits, fresh milk for hot drinks, toiletries and fluffy bathrobes; sea-view rooms have binoculars, too. Take a Cornish cream tea in the lounge; in sunshine, sit on the deck in the ‘beautiful’ rear garden. Breakfast has ‘first-class’ choices: home-made preserves, local cheese, a Cornish cooked. Ask for a picnic hamper before embarking on a coastal ramble or a trip to the beach.

Other reviews
Excellent B&B in a great location for the beach. Covid Secure actions were considered and effective. Excellent food including a lovely cream tea in the last of the summer sun in their garden. Travelling on my own I used the single room which was very well presented.

Lovely hotel overlooking the beach, with comfortable rooms and excellent breakfasts. Lots of lovely touches like fresh milk, bottles of water, large choice of teas/ coffees and beautiful garden. Well positioned in a quiet street and only a few minutes from Gyllyngvase beach and Falmouth town centre.

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.
- Ian Harwood - June 2018
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.
