Top Falmouth Hotel Reviews

Merchants Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean, nice and cool during the hot weather too and the same with the indoor pool. All the staff were lovely and were happy to help. The breakfast was nice, lots of option - especially for gluten free! Closest beach is only 10-15 min walk and the town centre is also only around 15 minute walk away too."
