A two-minute stroll from Gyllyngvase beach, Lynda and Malcolm Cook’s ‘delightful’ B&B occupies an Edwardian town house with ‘fantastic views’ across the garden towards Falmouth Bay.

Between the sea and the town, Vanessa and Simon Clark’s B&B is a cheery spot filled with lively colours, imaginative design touches, and a friendly, personable feel.

Down ‘the narrowest of Cornish lanes’, find a picture of jolly rusticity at Will and Lisa Lea’s family-friendly pub-with-rooms, near-hidden in a secluded wooded valley.

There’s no escaping the sweep of the sea at this ‘really super hotel’ above Falmouth Bay: a wraparound deck catches the sun; French doors in the restaurant open on to terraces; nearly all the bedrooms look across the water towards St Anthony’s lighthouse.
