Overview
The "very friendly" (The AA) Royal Duchy Hotel has panoramic views of Falmouth Bay and 16th-century Pendennis Castle. Built in 1893 on a tranquil stretch of seafront, the property is a 15-minute walk from the town centre, which is known for its bustling harbour, National Maritime Museum and waterside pubs.
Condé Nast Johansens loves the "friendly staff and very personal service as well as the excellent location for discovering scenic Falmouth". Many of Cornwall's most picturesque sights, including St Ives, home to the Tate art gallery, Truro with its grand cathedral, and Lizard Point, the southernmost tip of the UK mainland, are within an hour's drive of the hotel.
Inside, the hotel has a refined feel. There's an elegant, 2-AA-Rosette restaurant serving British cuisine with Mediterranean and Asian influences, a cosy lounge bar with a sea-view terrace offering light meals and cream teas, and a smart, granite-topped cocktail bar.
The hotel's palm-fringed lawn is dotted with sunloungers, and there is also an indoor pool, a spa area with a sauna, and a snooker room. Kids can head for the playroom and the outdoor games area.
Rooms are decorated with soft neutral tones and plush fabrics, and have free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have sea views and a sitting area.

Very relaxing but our room was a little on the small side

A side of vegetables with the main meals used to be served here but this time there was a distinct lack of accompanying Vegetables,
The mirror on the wall next to the dresser was offset from the sitting position making it impossible to apply makeup etc whilst sitting at the dresser?

Lovely traditional hotel with well appointed rooms and very good food - 3 courses turned out to be too much for us. Small swimming pool a bonus - warm and felt quite private.

Menu was very ‘cheffy’. Quality ingredients no doubt on that, We are ‘foodies’ and enjoy sophisticated menus but little option left for those who don’t. The quality is there though and an opportunity to try something different. Beautiful dining room with exquisite sea views.

Excellent facilities, great food and loved the touches like binoculars in the sea view rooms and hot milk served with breakfast coffee. Staff very polite and friendly. Only niggle was the siting of a bathroom cabinet over the small wash basin in the ensuite. Couldn't get my head over the sink to clean my teeth! But that's a personal practical comment on what's an otherwise super hotel. We will return.
