This is a great place to stay in Falmouth. It’s close to a bike path and close enough to town if you want to walk a bit. The breakfast was great and the innkeeper was very helpful and informative and personable.

Nice little place

This was a nice place to stay. Clean and thoughtful in terms of rooms and ambience. Breakfast was a bit disappointing as compared to other B&Bs we've been at.

It was a nice and clean hotel and was designed beautifully. It’s great that they have bikes available there and allow you to go for biking on the Shinning sea trail, and it would be beneficial if they do some maintenance for the bike and make sure that they are in a good shape. Overall I was satisfied staying there.
