The Royal Duchy Hotel

“A stunning view across the bay and historic castle”

A beautiful hotel situated on the coastal road about 10mins walk from the harbour. Stunning views across the bay await every guest, and the historic Pendennis Castle which is open to the public and 15 mins walk. Our room was lovely, a triple window opening out across the bay. Dinner was excellent, breakfast was waiter service for the cooked options. Cereal and pastries were also available, however there was no continental, ie no cheeses or cold meats if you were expecting that. All staff were friendly and helpful. We never used the spa facilities, but they looked good. The town of Falmouth was 10 mins walk away, with its bustling little shops, cafes, bars and many restaurants to satisfy all budgets. Defintitely worth a visit.

“Excellent hotel”

I’ve stayed at the hotel numerous times for work purposes. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. I’ve tried many hotels in Falmouth, this is always my first choice!

“ROYAL DUCHY HOTEL”

Enjoyed our stay at the Royal Duchy. Staff extremely helpful and very welcoming. A fantastic break and will be going back

We had high hopes of dining at this luxury hotel, having never been before and we wanted somewhere special for our Silver Wedding Anniversary evening meal. The hotel is opulent and appealing with a fabulous location overlooking the sea. Initially the evening went really well, although we struggled a bit to choose a dish we fancied from the menu. We appreciate a small menu of a few dishes done well but as I say we had difficulty selecting anything that really appealed. Anyway I had fish and chips and my wife ordered the lamb rump. My meal was really good and it was nice that the lamb (quite fatty) came with a good selection of veg and dauphinoise potatoes. However as the evening wore on and the restaurant emptied (only 5 tables in use anyway), the service got slower and slower. It took ages to get another drink, even water, I don't know why they only pour one glass of water at a time, rather than leave the carafe on the table, bearing in mind it was the incredibly hot May BH!! We wanted to take a coffee on the terrace as the evening was so lovely but there were no staff to be seen anywhere! Eventually we took ourselves off to the terrace and assumed someone would come, if only to give us the bill. Eventually I had to go in and find someone and order coffee. We were surprised and disappointed that no reference or thoughtful gesture was made in ref to our Silver Wedding Anniversary despite the Receptionist congratulating us when we arrived! We shared a dessert in the hope that there might be a little celebratory chocolate decoration on the plate, or a complemetary glass of fizz! A rather disappointing experience.
