Great location & good value for the money.
Location is perfect and breakfast was served in the restaurant over looking the sea and harbour. The hotel is an older building but when price is taken into account it's good value for the location.

Spent one night only, everything was fine. Parking was public quay-side carpark, less than 50meters away, which required an 8am top-up.

Dog friendly by the ocean
My husband and I had a fab visit with our dog. Location is spectacular, right next to the boats to Falmouth and a flat walk to a few nice pubs and restaurants or a takeaway fish and chip place. 1 minute walk to large car park (we paid £7 for 24 hours). Dont expect perfect (carpet worn in a couple of areas) but we really did have the most enjoyable stay in this hidden gem.
