Guest Reviews

- Ralph (8/5): -
- Paul (9/5): Overnight stay for work, very convenient. - Breakfast was plentiful and tasty, catering for Vegetarians a plus.
Room, comfortable and bed very comfy, great nights sleep. No issues.
- Charlotte (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Gute Unterkunft, empfehlenswert. - Eigentümergeführte Unterkunft, sehr gut ausgestattet. Gute Lage. Parkplatz vor der Tür. Gute Betten. Frühstück eher mittelmäßig, nicht immer frische Zutaten.
- Jim (7/5): - Bed very comfortable
- Julieanne (9/5): Great for an overnighter with work. - It was in a good location Not having an en suite bathroom.
- Laura (8/5): Lovely boutique bed and breakfast - Bed clean and comfortable, provided dressing gowns, had good choice of coffee and glass fresh milk, good greeting booklet, wifi good and had what we needed for a night stay We struggled to sleep cause the room was so cold, we did not want to wake the owners to show us how to warm up the room, we tried to do it ourselves.
Whilst we did not have ensuite, the toilet and shower across us just felt lack of privacy due to the kitchen and dining room being in between the room
- Iain (10/5): - A lovely place and a warm welcome. The room was clean and comfortable with thoughtful extras, such as fresh milk. A lovely breakfast with a generous packed breakfast on my last morning as I was leaving early. Everything was fine.
- Mikey (9/5): Excellent Room and Location for exploring Falmouth. - We liked the cleanliness of the room and bathroom coupled with the excellent location for access to both the town and local beaches. Nothing - All Excellent
- Brian (10/5): It was great - Breakfasts were delicious
- Leisa (9/5): Quiet, calm, relaxed, and comfortable. - Lovely guest house, clean tidy, great breakfast choices and service. The en-suite was lovely. The room overlooked the road, and as I live in a quiet country lane I’m not used to the sound of traffic, so that was the only area I would change next time, requesting a room out the back which overlooks the harbour. Busy road out the front.
- Ann (9/5): - Breakfast very good, but coffee too strong for me. Duvet was very heavy.
- Hirenkumar (8/5): - The only thing that I didn't like was that the windows has curtains but no blinds. After long days I would wake up early because of the sunlight.
- john (9/5): Overall good - To have an on suite
- Maria (9/5): -
- Kelly (9/5): - Our hosts were lovely, helpful and welcoming. The location was perfect for us, easy for the train, university and seeing the gorgeous town of Falmouth Having a bathroom across the hall, I should have clocked that when I booked, so my error, just a personal preference, the facilities were excellent, private and super clean.
- UK Charles (8/5): QUICK VISIT TO SEE A SICK RELATIVE - COMFORTABLE BED BREAKFAST EXPENSUVE AND TOO BIG
- Raphaël (9/5): -
- Gabriela (9/5): Ein toller Aufenthalt, nah vom Zentrum und vom Strand - Die Betten waren sehr bequem und das Zimmer liebevoll eingerichtet.
Netter Gastgeber, der einem gerne weiterhilft für Ausflüge in Cornwall. Das Zimmer hatte einen etwas unangenehmen Geruch.
- Janet (8/5): Breakfast excellent - Property well located Mix up on booking - booked and paid for a triple room (for two as twin was not available) but on arrival had to pay for the adjoining single room.
- Alison (10/5): -
- Paula (8/5): -
- Robert (9/5): - Very friendly and polite owners, breakfast was excellent and plenty to choose. Our shower and toilet were across the hallway.

- yves (9/5): -
- Heather (9/5): Ottima base per visitare tutto a piedi - Camera confortevole con un piccolo bagno privato (lavandino in camera). Il parcheggio è limitato, ma una volta lasciata l’auto si può raggiungere tutto a piedi. Il letto era un po’ corto
- Colina (8/5): - Friendly welcome, immaculately clean.
- Richard (10/5): Great!, would rebook - Was clean well looked after and owners were very friendly, initially booked a double mention I was traveling with sister and was rectified to a twin straight very easily and quickly with out any prompting I a big man and was a squeeze to get through shower door but that nit picking and more to do with me than the property
- Holly (9/5): - Beautiful house, clean & comfortable with relaxing harbour views. Could sit by the window all day! Love it, thank you!
- Nerissa (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): Perfect location and accommodation for staying in Falmouth, - Lovely property in an ideal location for the station, harbour and beaches.
Very clean and comfortable and stayed in the twin room which was a really good size.
Friendly owners and excellent breakfast. Nothing
- Beverley (10/5): -
- Declan (10/5): Lovely welcoming owners, comfy stay, short walk from the town, definitely recommend -
- andreas (8/5): -
- Sophie (9/5): Great location, very comfortable. - Just a quick overnight stay - didn't have breakfast. Room and bed spacious, clean and cosy. Very little noise from road. Good communication from owners. Really splitting hairs here but I'm a bit fussy about pillows and wasn't that keen on these. However, there was a sensible combo of one big and one flatter per side so I was able to go for the flatter one to sleep. It was fine. ideally i'd have a squashier pillow.
- Karsten (9/5): Top Location um die Stadt zu erkunden - Gute Lage und sehr liebe Gastgeberin, die mit dem einen oder anderen Tip half.
- Hasan (10/5): - Fantastic stay here! Really nice place with really welcoming hosts
Great breakfast aswell
- Tristan (10/5): - location perfect staff were excelent. it was perfect :)
- Wahlgren (10/5): Fint, centralt boende med supergod frukost och mycket trevligt bemötande. - Bra läge med kort promenad till centrum, väldigt trevligt värdpar, bra rum och badrum samt fantastisk hållbar och hemlagad frukost. Inget.
- Paula (10/5): -
- Helen (9/5): -
- Perry (8/5): - Comfortable bed. First strong electric shower I've ever had! A shaving mirror. A bathroom with lots of natural light. A fridge. Proper major sized towels. Breakfast. No lavatory brush. Not enough parking spaces and festival weekend meant that arriving at 1730 on Friday that not only were there no spaces on arrival BUT also that no one moved until 10 on Monday! Strange yellow/ orange lamps in the bedside lights - really difficult to read by. Why 3 coffee capsules not 4, for 2 people? Why not fill up the milk bottle? Seems very penny pinching compared with the quality and quantity of breakfast.
- David (8/5): -
- Brigitte (9/5): - Very clean good facilities and great location. Good breakfasts I paid a bit more for this place and chose the triple room as specifically wanted two beds, it wasn’t clear on booking that this is only offered if 3 guests. I was also advised that the bathroom was across the corridor when I thought I had booked an en-suite, although this was corrected . It was in the small print but I missed it so was disappointed to end up with a smallish double bed, for me and my daughter
- pat (9/5): -
- Kim (10/5): Highly recommend The Red House to others. - Welcoming Clean & fresh. Cookies in jar were a nice treat. Mini fridge was a great idea. Shoe horn & cotton buds were helpful.
- Melanie (9/5): Cornwall retreat - The location, the owners Karen and Nick were very friendly and went out of their way to meet your needs. Breakfast was outstanding, the choice was amazing and fresh every day. We wanted for nothing. Even down to having a small fridge in your room. I could not fault anything.
- Susan (9/5): -
- Huw (9/5): High quality accommodation in a great location. - Lovely, spacious, well equipped room with good views. Great breakfast. It's not clear on Booking.com whether breakfast is included or not, at the point when you are booking. The confirmation says room only, but then messages to the host do not get through. I was not the only guest to think that breakfast had been arranged, but was told that they didn't know I wanted it.
- Catherine (10/5): -
- Elaine (8/5): Lovely place for an overnight stop we were very comfortable here and a sea view too - Very comfortable bed and fabulous breakfast
- karen (8/5): Very close to Falmouth Pavillion. Very clean - Its location & friendliness of owners. Alexa in bedroom. Noisy light fan in bathroom. No way of turning it off.
We got woken by kitchen noise in the morning.
- Nicola (10/5): Perfect for us - It was a perfect location while we were walking and it was comfortable and quiet
- tony (9/5): Lovely friendly host, easy access to town and comfortable and clean -
- Stephanie Helen (9/5): lovely- perfect for our requiremetns and great breakfast -
- Louise (9/5): Excellent visit as always. - Stay very comfortable, clean, location good for Beach & The Pavillion Gardens, parking limited, but can park on road, owners very friendly, unfortunately no breakfast this stay. All good
- Chloë (9/5): -
- Linda (9/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): Weekend break. - Every thought was put into providing excellent amenities & the breakfast was delicious & more than enough. Would have preferred a little later checkout time, but after speaking to Nick, this and also an earlier checking time could have been arranged, prior to our stay.
- Anthony (8/5): staff friendly and helpful . - the breakfasts were excellent, the room and beds were very comfortable and clean. not a lot was pleased with everything.
- Skender (9/5): Excellent - Excellent style, location and cleanliness, including very friendly owners! The shower may need some updating as it was tricky to work out the hot water without the water temperature getting to hot or to cold.
- CLEMENTINE (8/5): -
- Mark (9/5): great and would definitely return - Breakfast choice was great, very accommodating, very well prepared, room bright very clean and everything you needed and beds nice and comfy. only that the bathroom was across the corridor which maybe a problem for some people but i knew it was a seperate private bathroom when i booked so it didn't stop me from booking and i would book it again.

- whitlock (10/5): Don't think twice, book now - The location is good with a very nice view of Falmouth harbour. Easy to park on site or on the roadside. Five minutes walk from the beach and 10 from the city centre.
Karen and her staff (hi, Jordan and hi Karen's daughter) are are totally professional and will look after you. We really didn't like the fact that all good things come to an end and had to leave.
