    I spent a few nights here, this summer. The travel agent booked this for my mother and me I think…read morebecause he had never even heard of Cornwall, and this was probably the first place that got back to him. Then, after booking the Chelsea House, I found it in a tourism book. It was one of two places listed in Falmouth (in that book). I took that as a good sign. The book said that every room had a view of the water. Well, that's not actually true. There is one room that doesn't have a view of the ocean, and that's the Shell Room, namely, my room. But that's ok! Even though we overlooked the back yard (and the neighbor's dumpster), Chelsea House was worthwhile. There were a few weird aspects to the place and a few down sides. Our room was tiny. Super duper tiny. And it was clearly the last one to be remodeled (As in, the other rooms looked much nicer). The tea kettle was rusty (I used it anyway). You order your breakfast the night before. And if you're not down at 8, you're not going to be eating breakfast. I really appreciated that because it meant I was forced to start my day earlier. I definitely got to squeeze more in that way. But, they are a street away from the water and a short block from the beach. They are incredibly close to the bus/train station. So close that when we left, we walked our very heavy luggage to the train station. They are also only a short walk to the center of town, so it's easy to shop and go to dinner, etc. They were very nice. And it was very affordable, considering it was the official start of the season, and most places were booked. I guess with the tiny room with no view (and the weak dollar), it was one time you wouldn't mind paying for what you get!

    Really friendly owners, ever so helpful and courteous. Our…read moreroom, the Shell room, was the only one without a sea front view but was still lovely. Plenty of room for two of us, a nice bathroom and plenty of pillows! The hotel is a 1 minute walk from the beach and about 6 minutes from the town centre and Gylly Beach Cafe. Its just residential street parking available but plenty of room.

    This is a truly truly wonderful place. I regret that I do not have enough positive adjectives to do…read morethis place justice! I had a few of the beers there present (Trouble+Strife, Rebel 80/ and Montol for anyone interested enough!). All were top notch. If there is something that I love almost as much as beer (apart from badger baiting) it is cheese. So I chose to challenge them by ordering their cheese plate, but dammit if that wasn't delicious too. Anyone visiting the area should come to this pub. I haven't even got into how good it looks! I made a note during my visit that I saw the ghost of Rick Stein's dog, Chalky. I must confess that I have no idea what I was on about! I hadn't had that much to drink! Logical explanation must exist.

    I loved the chilled out vibe of the Spars. Just up from the cove, it is a traditional pub but post…read moresurf place to hangout. They have a reputation for their own microbrewery, but also stock local labels such as Korev lager and Rattler cider. there is also a decent wine list and a medium sized glass of wine is around £4-£5 depending on what you get. It is popular - the sunday lunch sold out when we were there as it is available between 12-2.30pm but fear not, the excellent Lewsey Lou's is positioned opposite and staff there will call out your receipt number so you can squeeze in a quick pint between ordering and getting your food. I had lunch there one day mid-week. Standard pub food but a good value portion and staff are aware of dietary needs so I had no issues being gluten free. Tasty, well cooked burger (minus bun) and chips and salad on the side was a decent portion that I din't finish it all. My friend had a sausage sandwich was was rated as very tasty and as it was the special was only £5.95 - sausage in ciabatta with onion relish with chips and salad, so again another big portion. Also on the sunday, left over roasties, veggies and meat were on the bar - not enough for complete portions and I would say on the basis of my limited sampling (beef, bit of parsnip and a roastie, that the Sunday lunch would be well worth a booking!). So, I'm not a local and it'll probably be a year before I go back, but I'll be definitely heading back to try more of the menu and just hangout there after a day of boarding :-)
