Great staff. Great food
Reviewed By woodyroadGood value. Coffee very good. Room was white painted, i prefer color but ok. River view. Staff are very good. Compared with Merchants Manor Hotel & Spa it's far better. Merchants Manor Hotel & Spa don't even give you a kettle in your room to make tea, and the young manager there is bossy, pushy and unpleasant. Greenbank is a far better experience.

Urge people not to stay here
Reviewed By HopskipJumpAwayWe had made a booking originally for 5 nights starting on 4th April. We then asked for an additional night to be added to the booking. But due to a family member contracting COVID, we changed our booking back to the original 5 night stay starting on 4th April. While checking out, we asked the hotel's reception to confirm that we have not been charged for the extra night (9th April). She checked and confirmed to us that we have, infact, not been charged for the additional night. Upon our return from the holiday, we found a charge on our card for the additional night, in spite of being reassured that there was no charge. This is unexpected and not acceptable. Additionally, we had a very poor experience during our stay. Because of this, we did not want to even complete our stay but were forced to since it was a prepaid booking. We were assured by the Reservations team that it is a family friendly hotel and will cater for families while we made the booking. When we arrived with 1 child and 1 infant in tow, there was no arrangement to help families with luggage. Hotels normally provide porter / luggage assistance or a luggage trolley, neither was offered to us. To the contrary, the reception staff was unhelpful and rude and told me that we are not a family friendly hotel. It was very unwelcoming. When we checked into our room, we discovered a number of issues with the room. Firstly, the heating was not working and did not work for the first few nights. We were given a hot air blower and only for one room. The internet did not work in the room even several days after we complained. Having paid the room rate, we still had to rely on our phone's network to do work calls etc. While making the booking, I had specifically requested for a baby bottle steriliser and a baby cot. On arrival in the room, neither had been arranged. I was told that a steriliser is not something they offer. In this case, I had been falsely informed that this is a facility provided by the hotel. Had I known, I would come prepared. This caused alot of inconvenience and resulted in me having to purchase a steriliser. The soap dispensers were attached in a way that even in a "family room", you cannot dispense soap with one hand when you have an infant or young child in tow. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom causing the entire bathroom to steam up. The lamp and kettle in the living room were so short that they could not be connected to any socket in the room. Normally, in any hotel, you would expect that basic things like lamps and kettles are already connected to power so that the customer is not left scrambling to find a nearby connection. There were some serious problems with the parking administration. We discovered that most of the parking spots, especially close to the entrance, were occupied by the users of the Beach Club. This left no empty spots for hotel residents. The parking was not administered at all, to discourage misuse. We are extremely disappointed with the whole episode. To have been charged for the extra night is unacceptable. Please do the needful to reverse this charge back to our account. The resort has still not responded to our email! I urge people not be cheated by them, especially families!

The perfect escape ?
Reviewed By owaind2014We had the most wonderful stay at the Merchants Manor, we took advantage of their Sunday Sleepover promotion allowing us to have a 3 course meal at their triple rosette restaurant an overnight stay and breakfast for just under £100! It was fantastic value and a super experience, we celebrated our honeymoon and Kim and her team could not have been more accommodating or thoughtful. They upgraded our room, presented us with a fizz in the room and in every way they could, went over and above! Our meal was very good, to start we had scallops and cauliflower veloutte, mains hake with pesto verde and roast beef with all the trimmings and desserts deconstructed rhubarb crumble and chocolate mousse. The restaurant has an exciting wine list that caters for every range from £20 to well north of £100. Perhaps the only surprise was they had no decanter a small gap and opportunity, this did however not impact our ability to drink their fantastic Burgundy. The entire team were hugely attentive and Renee was super friendly - what really came across is that they all care! The hotel has all the facilities you would expect: pool, jacuzzi, spa facilities and a wonderful wild tropical garden with more hot tubs and sun beds that you can shake a stick at. Here are some pics from our meal in their great restaurant. Kim and team thank you so much for making our honeymoon experience so memorable, we will see you again soon!

Reviewed By tonyfH5118PDSo close to the beach you can hear the sea lapping on the shore. Staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Gorgeous view from our room. There is parking on site. Will definitely be going back!

Short Stay
Reviewed By Neil WStayed for single night bed and breakfast. Lovely hotel with very friendly staff and super location. Stayed in room 14 with great sea view. Room was comfortable with all refreshments included. Honesty bar in hotel was great and breakfast very good. Would definately use again...some previous comments about hotel looking dated were unfounded during our stay. Hotel was very clean and well presented.

Situated in 5 acres of beautiful gardens and overlooking Castle beach, the hotel offers 71 individual bedrooms, stunning views, the award winning Castle Beach restaurant and a Caudalie inspired Spa... the perfect coastal hideaway.
Lack of Uniforms and Pride in Appearance
Reviewed By ScathoWent to the Falmouth Hotel for a function. Not greeted when entering the Hotel, a member of staff would have greeted you with a polite good evening would have been standard manners years ago. Only 2 people serving behind the bar with slow service and large queues. One other young lady filling the glass machine in a crop top and jeans. Through to the function, the meal was fantastic. The table only had one set of Salt & Pepper for 10 people, so had to wait a while. One waiter came out from the Kitchen with his mouth full of food, took him several minutes to chew and swallow as he was collecting plates from diners, he had so much food in his mouth he looked like a hamster. Wasn't sure who were staff and guests at first as it seemed only a few staff had uniform. Others were wearing patterned blouses, no name badges. Having worked in hospitality for 35 years standards have dropped so far, it was embarrassing to watch. The Ladies toilets always smell really bad, they should have some sort of ventilation there. Also the hand dryer didn't work. The bin for paper wipes was overflowing all evening. The Falmouth Hotel is the grand old lady on the seafront, but staff need training of what to do and what not to do. Smarten themselves up by wearing the correct uniform and name badges.

Two night stay
Reviewed By Beaumont142What a gem of a hotel. The views and location of the hotel is stunning. We stayed for two nights for a wedding we were attending nearby. The hotel is lovely. The staff are pleasant and shout to Neil the manager who couldn’t have looked after any more than he did. The food was lovely and breakfast great. Well worth a stay at this hotel.
