As my son is at the Uni, we are well acquainted with Falmouth, we had one night stay at Gyllynvase House we enjoyed our stay, the room was very nice the breakfast was equally as good. So a five star rating I would give to the very helpful staff too. Well done to all.

A really lovely place to stay, we were greeted by Karen who made us feel so welcome, our room was very clean and felt luxuriously simple, very comfy mattresses, TV and tea and coffee self serve was fab, there was a beautiful sitting room and garden downstairs where you can sit in the evenings and relax, the breakfast was perfect - not too piled up and cooked perfectly. My teenager loved his scrambled egg and salmon breakfast.
As well as making us feel safe (with the covid measures in place) Elle and Karen also made us feel very at home, and I couldn't recommend it enough and really hope to be back soon. It was a perfect end to a long day travelling, and just a very short walk to the beach. The parking was not an issue - spaces in the carpark but room on the street outside as well if needed. Also just a 15 min walk into Falmouth, so an ideal base.

We have recently returned from an excellent holiday in Falmouth, staying at "Gyllyngvase House". Our hosts Elle & Andrew provide first class Bed & Breakfast accommodation, absolute cleanliness (including maximum provision against Covid) Their hospitality and kindness was amazing; they made us feel like "one of the family". The rooms, including a lounge, leading to a neat garden, were spotlessly clean & comfortable.
The location of Gyllyngvase House was just a short walk from Gyllyngvase beach and Falmouth harbour. This was our second visit to Gyllyngvase House, and we have already booked another stay for 2022. Just perfect Keith & Jenny Hayes Sept 2021
