Where better to get an authentic flavour of Falmouth than right on the water? The Greenbank Hotel and Water’s Edge Restaurant occupy prime position, perched on the historic harbour, with exceptional views across the Fal estuary to Flushing. In fact, with its own pontoon and moorings, you can even make the journey here by boat.

There’s a wide choice of comfortable and characterful bedrooms and suites, a few of which welcome families and dogs. The elegant interiors have subtle nautical influences and colourful accents and a good night’s sleep is guaranteed in the hotel’s seriously comfy beds. The luxurious en suite bathrooms come complete with Bloom Remedies toiletries and in the harbour view rooms, seating is positioned by the windows, so you can enjoy your morning coffee while gazing out to sea.

Don’t miss dinner at the hotel’s 2 AA rosette restaurant, which offers relaxed fine dining with a view, as well as regular Taste of Cornwall events. The Water’s Edge kitchen is headed up by head chef Bobby Southworth, with Executive Chef Nick Hodges overseeing the entire group. On the seasonally changing menu you’ll find plenty of fresh Cornish fish and seafood as well as quality local meats and a mouth-watering selection of desserts to tempt you.

The hotel has its own pub, The Working Boat, with fabulous harbour views and hosts a series of events across the year. A great choice of local brews, wines and spirits are in addition to a menu of hearty classics, ideal for family and dog-friendly dining.
