The parking signs for the disabled parking are ambiguous and incorrect,so it's not very clear. Friendly staff and great afternoon spent looking round Penndennis Castle and grounds. Whilst looking around the fun room within the main part of the castle we were approached by Don,one of the English Heritage staff who could see that our disabled daughter was enjoying reading the information in each room. He approached me and asked if we wanted an explanation and tour of the castle, which we agreed. He was fabulous taking time to explain what each room was for and pitching it at a level that our daughter could understand and relate to. He checked in after each room to ensure she had understood the information.He was interesting and very informative and especially kind and compassionate with our daughter as he took time and effort to ensure she took something from the experience. I asked if he had any experience with Additional needs as he was so good with our daughter, he hadn't I'm particular but had experience of working with young people. Don was definitely an asset to English Heritage and made our trip informative and memorable. The grounds and views were amazing and we felt very much connected to that part of history from his storytelling. The station the teashop were also good and cakes delicious.. All staff were friendly and great,I'd it hadn't of been for the confusion over the signage for disabled parking I would have given this a 5 star review. Definitely worth a visit.

Chose a sunny day and you'll be rewarded with stunning views over to St Mawes and Falmouth. The Military history spans the moments of crisis in British history; 16th century, the Nepoleonic wars and WW1/ 2. Superb info boards and exemplary English Hetitage staff dealing with an unexpected group of cruise ship visitors. Coffee in cafe to finish was just as good!

Absolutely loved our trip to Pendennis Castle. History with beautiful view's. A must for families & History buffs. Great cafe with friendly service and an amazing gift shop within something for everyone.

Interesting historical buildings, with plenty of information available. Easy to find, and onsite parking. It really only takes an hour to walk around the whole site, so it's a pleasant break from driving if you're passing through the area.

We went for the jousting tournament, which was brilliant, but there was a huge range of entertainment which was suitable for all ages and it was all included in the price. We also visited the castle and museum. There’s a lovely cafe, but the food and drink is expensive. There was plenty of car parking.

Lots of history around this castle and World War Two! It’s dog friendly and they are also allowed in the castle. We went in for free as we had an English Heritage membership - definitely worth doing.

Great place to It's truly a wonderful destination, offering a unique experience. The atmosphere is pleasant, making it easy to relax and enjoy your time. With its beautiful scenery, it provides a perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories. You will find yourself wanting to come back for another visit.

A small but lovely art gallery with a charming little shop (prices are on the higher side, but that’s expected). What really stood out was how engaging the installations were — not just for adults, but for kids too. It’s wonderful that children are encouraged to interact with the exhibits, which makes the whole experience more fun and memorable. The current exhibition on technology and art was especially interesting and thought-provoking. Also, very convenient that there’s a toilet nearby — makes a big difference when visiting with kids. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Visited the exhibit of ‘The Legend of King Arthur: A Pre-Raphaelite Love Story’. I had always wanted to see The Lady of Shalott in person. I visited Tate a while ago but it was being exhibited elsewhere at the time. Now it’s exhibiting in Falmouth and it was just great to see. Such a great exhibit overall. Displayed well and with a shop.

Small gallery with limited display space. Enjoyed what was on display but some of its better works weren't exhibited, which was a shame.

A small FREE gallery but I found the exhibition on automata fascinating. I admire the exhibitors (most of whom are local to Falmouth) for allowing some of the exhibits to be played with (most people are careful but I was concerned about the child who was seeing how fast he could turn the handle - why wasn't the parent explaining that for everyone to enjoy these exhibits, we most all be respectful and careful not to break them). Beautiful, detailed work - often very complex scenes - as well as larger models/automata. Activities for children (everyone, probably) to try. Show your support for this small free gallery as we were told that the council needs to see that it is worth keeping it open by the number of visitors it attracts.

Free gallery above the town library. Real good exhibition of local interest artists and some good multi media (video art). It is small....free but very well curated and a pleasure and surprise to visit. Well done.

It's ok. Smaller than I thought it would be and a whole section was filled with rocks which don't interest me much. The central bit about Falmouth history was good and upstairs was a bit forgettable. Overall good but too expensive.

Free art gallery with a gift shop. Had an exhibition of Arthurian legend paintings and exhibits on display until end of Sept 2023. Including tapestries.

Tickets quite expensive but they do last for a whole year which makes up for the price :) an option for a cheap day ticket would be LOVELY. Best section of the area was seeing all the surf boards and learning about some of the locals and their cool, interesting history. The remote control boats were super unique with it only being controlled by using the sails and ‘wind’. Gets properly crowded on a rainy day.

Modern museum in a lovely marina setting. It was a bit pricey at £18.50 for an adult. There was a great surfing exhibition on. Lots of interesting facts associated with the famous exhibits there. It looked a popular place for mothers with young children as there is a play area. There is also an inside pond for playing with radio controlled boats. Also they have a decent cafe and shop. There is a car park nearby with shops and cafes.

They have a great exhibition of 100 years of surfing across Cornwall but also the world with big names in local sustainability such as James Otter of Otter Surfboards and David Forsyth from Driftwood Surfboards both great places to buy boards from! Really interesting and interactive exhibit with a 37ft surfboard weighing in at 181kg where it had 14 people able to ride it in the past and everything else in between! Definitely worth a visit just for this alone but the rest of the museum was amazing too!

Really enjoyed looking around at all the boats, surf boards and the history of the surf competitions. Unfortunatly the tide was out so we didnt see the fish in the lower levels. This didnt detract feom the experience. Also some amazing view.

What a great enjoyable place great for all the family lots of history easy to get to and fantastic veiws of the harbour

Great museum to visit , surfing exhibition great , plus all other exhibits , and view from tower

Lovely day out with the children, ages 5 -14 , all of them enjoyed it. Went during the pirate exhibition in the summer holidays, very thorough and interesting, they also had a pantomime on hourly for the children which was well thought out and engaging, children loved it. Went down to tide 2 in the tower and enjoyed looking out to underwater and seeing the tide in the harbour.

The beach was nice. I took a pleasant walk along the coast. It was windy, so I didn’t go into the waves. I just enjoyed it from the shore.

Lovely city beach. Seems to be a reasonably flat sea bay, so safe for kids to splash in the water. Sandy white beach (coarse) and clear water. Blue flag beach (clean). Lovely view of pendennis castle, pendennis point and st anthony lighthouse. A beach cafe just over the sand, a takeaway and car park right next to it. Lifeguards on site.

Nice place to be with friends, family and good amenities in and around with the connecting coast path close by and a pay and display car park only minutes away from both beach and path. Extremely busy in summer time but all year round good place to come.

Nice little beach, and a nice walk from Falmouth,watch out for seagulls,they will take food from you just when you are putting it in your mouth.

Gylly Beach has clear, fresh water and soft, clean sand. The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly people all around. It’s a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the seaside ❤️

This beach was a nice place for me to relax after a lengthy coastal walk. It wasn't too crowded and had plenty of benches available to sit on. Also, it was located just a 5 minute walk away from Falmouth Town Station where I was able to get the train back to Truro from.

Public toilets, co op right outside beach entrance, sauna £8 for 30 mins, surfing schools, Swanpool beach is a walk around to the right side

Lovely little family friendly beach. Plea ty of parking in June on Saturday.

Very nice shingle beach (tiny stones, not large pebbles) with a slightly more sandy area next to the sea. Carpark opposite, a bit pricey but convenient. Beach side snack bar with plenty to eat and drink to the left (as you face the sea). Restaurant on the low cliff area to the right. Excellent for kayaking and other non power water activities.

Lovely chill beach with parking, cafe and restaurant on the rocks!

A very lovely beach, with a great cafe and good parking. Standard beach for sun soaking or swimming, and lots of rocky parts and coastal paths for the more adventurous and exploratory. Some parts are dog friendly and some are not, so best to check beforehand.

Beautiful beach, not too busy. Dogs restrictions during summer. Nowhere to eat, has toilets near car park. Lovely walk over to next beach, with summer dog restrictions. Unable to find place for food, with dogs. Came across mobile food bar with excellent food and good coffee.

Beautiful beach. Out of all Falmouth beaches, this is my favourite one to swim. It's a clear water beach and is perfect for a family day out. It has a nice cafe. Car park and toilets are across the road.

A lovely small beach that has a surfing school and a cafe by the beach. It’s probably visited by the locals more, but does have people come here from a distance too. It looks like a sandy beach, but it’s actually a pebble beach… so the water is Christal clear… apart from the shallowest point where all the tiny stones are washed onto the beach. Beautiful view at the sea front and also the local area. It also has a big paid car park near by where they also have mini golf there. I loved my visit!

Stayed in the Crow's Nest late November 2024 and had an amazing stay! The apartment is just what you need and complete with log burner! The view is stunning and one morning we sat and watched the sunrise. Great location. Clean and tidy. Beautiful view!

I absolutely loved staying here. The room was comfortable, clean and beautiful with a stunning view over the water. A very relaxing place to stay. In the morning their breakfast was potentially the best fry up I’ve ever had! 10/10 from me! I would 100% recommend to anyone and the staff are absolutely lovely! Can’t wait to stay again!

Stayed in Cabin room which has panoramic view of the harbour. Lovely clean and comfortable room, super king bed, great shower with lots of water pressure. The cafe/bar is excellent, with a small but delicious menu. Probably the best full English I’ve tasted, accompanied by an outstanding Bloody Mary! Warm and friendly service, really enjoyed our stay!

My new favourite place to stay in Falmouth. Perfect view of the harbour from the bedroom, best full English in town that uses only the most delicious local ingredients, walkable to all the attractions in Falmouth and the staff really do go above and beyond. Would recommend to everyone!

My current favourite place to stay in Falmouth! Solo trip in penthouse and then Fos’cle with hubby. The same great view. Lovely rooms with great location. The best nights sleep I had in a long time. Straight out onto the high street with a quiet setting. Beautiful 🥰

Me and my partner came here last night to celebrate his upcoming birthday and parenthood. We loved our small plates, all amazing and filled with flavour. Especially their squash fritters. Drinks were equally impeccable. The service was unmatched, it was our waiters first night working there. He was incredibly attentive, informative with a friendly presence. The other man there was equally as lovely, lost his voice but persevered through the night . The ambience was absolutely perfect, i couldn’t imagine a better place to have spent our first night out together in an extremely long time. overall it was an incredible dining experience, the evening was everything we hoped it would be. highly recommend. we will be back and hopefully be able to enjoy a stay when our little ones are older.

Better than ever! So much love for the S&G. The new layout is a great, intimate vibe, the service is immaculate, the drinks are divine, and the food is out of this world. Honestly up there with the best Sunday Roasts I've ever had - and the small plates look sensational. So good. Massive thank you to Becca for being such a fantastic host.

A truly delightful lunch experience. We were blown away by every course and delighted by the service. Each dish had local provenance combined with complex execution and delivered simple quality and excellence. It's justifiably costly as no dish left me thinking "I could do that at home" - even the butter with the bread had a delightful twist. That said, nothing was overwhelmingly complex or unbalanced. Everything just worked. Thanks for a delightful sample of the local culture!

Tucked away in the heart of Falmouth, Culture is a true culinary gem. This Michelin-starred restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s an immersive experience that celebrates Cornwall’s land, sea, and people with precision, care, and soul. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed not just with warm service, but with a palpable sense of pride in place and produce. The open kitchen adds to the intimacy—you see the passion and focus in every plate crafted. Each dish was paired with thoughtful wine selections from around the world. What struck me most wasn’t just the quality of the food, but the ethos behind it. Every ingredient has a story. Every course has a purpose. And every bite reflects deep respect for nature and sustainability. £85 for the tasting menu (plus optional £60 wine flight) feels like incredible value for what you get. Yes, it’s fine dining but it’s grounded, warm, and personal. Michelin-starred, and rightfully so⭐️

My brother and I have just returned to London after a week long holiday starting in north Devon, following the coast along Cornwall and finishing in south Devon. We ate at six restaurants for our evening meals, three of which are in the Michelin guide (one of which is Culture) and two of which have Michelin stars. Culture has a Michelin green star. Our plan was to try and experience the best available food, with a particular emphasis on seafood and local produce. The restaurant is in a quite unassuming location - it is down an alleyway leading to the harbour and there are a couple of industrial bins opposite the entrance. It is very much a “hidden gem” - when we mentioned it to an antiques dealer up the road who had been in the area for a good while she said she hadn’t heard of it. Once inside, the ambience is refined, relaxed and intimate. The chef, Hylton Espey, is stationed at an open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. There is only one evening sitting - at 7pm. My brother and I were one of only three parties - the other two being couples. I was surprised that there were so few people in the restaurant, albeit it was a Thursday. The meal consists of seven courses (although the first course consisted of three separate dishes), plus an optional cheese course for a supplemental charge. Each course is brought to you by either Hylton or the Maître d’ (who is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable). They explain the provenance of each dish. Some of the ingredients are sourced from Hylton’s garden. The food was genuinely mind-blowing. My favourite dish was the brill. Each component (the fish, the crackling made from the skin of the brill and the sauce) was absolutely phenomenal and created a perfect symphony of flavour. I cannot think of a better individual dish I’ve ever tasted. The aerated potato dish and the beef dish were also exceptional (as to the latter, my brother said it was probably the best thing he’s ever eaten), but none of the other dishes were anything short of excellent. It was truly a 10/10 experience and my brother and I agreed that it was undoubtedly the best meal of all of the restaurants we went to during our holiday. In terms of technical ability, pairing flavours perfectly and sourcing the best available produce, I challenge anyone to find anyone better than Hylton. What’s more, he is passionate, friendly and approachable, without a hint of arrogance. After the meal, when the other diners had left, Hylton was keen to show us the meat aging fridge and the wine cellar and he chatted with us generally for a good while. It was clear that he was not simply “going through the motions” and trying to get rid of us. It was a genuine privilege to have dined in Culture. If it wasn’t a five hour trip to get there I would be there every week. Hylton deserves all the plaudits that will surely come his way. I can think of nobody that deserves a Michelin star more than him. In terms of being a master of his field, it is no exaggeration to say that he is in the same territory as Einstein, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Michelangelo. P.S. - I told Hylton that we would be going to a Michelin star restaurant in Devon the following day and he recommended the cheese course there - he had been there earlier in the week. I preferred the Culture cheese course - especially the Kern, which I’ve not experienced before and was possibly the best cheese I’ve ever tasted. We weren’t even charged for the cheese course on the basis that one of the cheeses was unavailable and the substitute cheese was similar to another of the cheeses. I thought each cheese was absolutely fantastic, though, and that each one was sufficiently different. What an experience. Thank you, Hylton.

Impeccable service and super delicious food!! Farm to table kind of restaurant. Reading the menu is so fun. You know exactly where your food come from. Chef and staff are so nice and warm. Love it!

We had a really lovely lunch at Culture. The restaurant is beautiful, the food was all delicious and it was a treat to watch it all being plated in front of us. We will definitely be back.

We visited here yesterday for lunch to celebrate my daughter-in-law’s birthday. It’s so tucked away that despite visiting Falmouth often, we hadn’t spotted it before but it was a very good discovery. From start to finish the welcome was warm. Each course was delicious and you know you’re onto something good to come when even the bread and butter is top notch. Each course was great and it would be really hard to choose a favourite. Courses were seasonal and locally sourced. It made the day very special. We enjoyed some lovely wines with our food. Great service from both of you. Thank you. We wish you every blessing in your venture.

Incredible experience! The local tasting menu was carefully curated by the owners and the food is prepared in front of you in the small kitchen. Literally every ingredient was sourced locally and tasted amazing. The chefs talked us through each dish and where the ingredients came from. The atmosphere is cosy, almost like someone's (very fancy) dining room, and felt safe and exclusive. It was a quiet night when we went but there was still a good atmosphere.

Went to lunch with a friend, played safe with the calamari starter and then full rack of ribs (lovely sauce) with coleslaw and chips. My friend had the Trinchado Bunny-Chow, which was nice and spicy, but lacked something. I prefer chips without salt, but most restaurants add it. I will remember in future to specify no salt. Atmosphere ok, relatively busy considering we ate at 14:00. Worth a visit.

Lovely South African restaurant in Falmouth located along the high street just past the Harbour. Recommend that you book the night before as all the tables were fully booked on trying for a table previously. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The decor was obviously South African theme. The food however was awesome. Having a partner who is South African and coming to these places with amazing Food especially the Meat. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended 👌

Wow wow wow! Not sure where to even start with Amanzis but out of all of the restaurants I’ve ever been to Amanzi is THE BEST RESTAURANT I’ve ever experienced and that’s not an exaggeration. I was a student in the area and it was my go to spot for everything. Dates, my graduation meal, celebrations with friends. I even made sure to visit the restaurant on my very last day before I left Falmouth. The Espatada is well seasoned, juicy, delicious and comes with generous serving of garlic butter that enhances the flavours of the skewered meat and veg. Then the chips that come with them are crispy and fluffy. The burgers and cocktails were great too. The restaurant also has a nice atmosphere and really nice view if you sit outside. But if you decide to sit inside the decor has an impressive swagger about it. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the area or just live near by. Thank you so much to Amanzi and the staff for the great service and food each time I came by. Only problem was that I discovered it 5 months before I left Falmouth. Would give more stars if I could. 5/5!!

So... First time in Amanzi... WOW..!! I'm confident to say that was the best meal we have had out for years. The service was excellent, atmosphere great and food was outstanding. This is a little bit of SA in Cornwall. Lovely evening, great wine.... Can't say enough about Amanzi.. 5⭐

Such a positive experience. For once not saying “ how much!” The food was exceptional, the service impeccable. Our second time here(not local!) we will definitely be back. Thank you Amanjjii

Outstanding! By far the best restaurant in Falmouth. We were a large party and had many different items on the menu and every dish was full of flavour and cooked to perfection Great selection of interesting beers and cocktails and lovely staff. We will be back 🙌

This restaurant is very popular, and I'm glad I booked in advance. We tried the peanut soup, lemon sole, and bobotie. The food was tasty, though I can't vouch for its authenticity. The lemon sole with French mushroom sauce was a hit, and the bobotie was intriguing, with its cinnamon rice, jam-vinegar mix, and cheesy curry meat layer. It was a good experience, but the place needs better ventilation for the amount of frying they do, to improve both staff and customer comfort.

Visited twice whilst away on our holiday, we were staying round the corner from this lovely beach cafe and were so happy to have this gem on our doorstep! Our first visit was just for drinks and we had a lovely time. Our second visit was exceptional, we turned up after a previous poor experience at another establishment that left us without dinner. Gylly cafe sat us 15 minutes before the kitchen closed and were so welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we were fed and looked after. The food was great quality, service was impeccable. We finished our evening with a relaxing nightcap on the terrace with friends. Beautiful views right on the beach. We intend on returning again!

Delicious and well prepared food. The atmosphere is fabulous and you can people watch being right next to the beach. It would be good to have menus on every table or somewhere easily accessible but other than that lovely visit. Great choice of food and I would have loved to have tried a few more things on the menu!

Always nice to visit here anytime of day. The new covered area is a nice addition and seats are comfy even the tall chairs as have well positioned foot rests. Great choice of drinks, menus are a little limiting but food is good and well presented.

Very tasty food, however, not many choices as a vegetarian on the dinner menu. We had a broccoli steak, which could’ve been deemed slightly pricey, and two sides of potatoes which were delicious. We sat in the self serve area due to a high demand for tables, although it was very little burden only requiring going to the bar to order and picking up your own cutlery, food and drinks are still delivered to your table. Overall a very good spot for a meal and a drink and right by the sea for a good view.

Sunshine at last in Falmouth! ☀️ Views over Gyllyngvase Beach, castles, headlands & brave swimmers in the icy sea. We skipped the dip (spoiled by Mauritius!) but loved the gardens, rock pools & dinner by the waves. Coastal Cornwall at its best.

Literally fell in love with Gylly Beach Cafe. I had the crab linguine & it was devine!!! Shout out to the friendly bar staff who also helped me for the area, for suggestions on Taxis/bars for after our visit here. Highly recommed to eat here! Thank you 💖

Great service, great quality food. Cooked perfectly, a great way to celebrate a birthday. Thanks Harri and the rest of for a good evening!

Wow! The food was amazing! The meat was tender and juicy, both on the pulled pork tacos and the ribs. The flavors were masterly blended. Coconut here, lime there, just the right amounts to match and enjoy. Sadly I had to deduct 1 star since the Chicken took forever to arrive. Attention was good, friendly waiters and an enjoyable reggae style music in the background, at the proper level to give ambience without getting in the way of private conversations. So glad to have found this place while staying in Falmouth for the weekend!

We went here to try the rum, as my husband wanted to try a couple. They did not disappoint! He chatted to the owner (John, from St Vincent) who advised him and let him taste a couple. We ordered a main course each and the food was superb. Really, really lovely. He had jerk chicken and I had reggae reggae duck with garlic sweet potatoes. Both really tasty. Didn't have a dessert (£10 seemed a bit pricey) but the mains were great. The 2 ladies serving were friendly and helpful, especially Saskia. Really worth going.

All round amazing time at Cribbs. Second time visiting and food is amazing. Goat curry and Jerk chicken both done perfectly with their own little twists. Very unique and tasty selection of cocktails + servers and cook are really friendly. Will definitely be back again soon! Thank you

had the best meal ive honestly ever had, absolutely beautiful food and cocktails served by wonderful staff who made our anniversary so special. can’t wait to burp later to taste it again. 10/10 will be back🤣🤗💞💞💞

My wife and I had a fabulous meal in here last night, 11/9/25. We both had the seafood soup which was the best we have ever had, spicy with rich flavours. My wife had the jerk chicken and I had curry goat and they were both amazing, in fact better than what we just had in Jamaica earlier this year. This is a fabulous restaurant, the staff were amazing and we had a perfect evening. At the end of the night we thanked the chefs for such wonderful food.

Exactly what I needed! The food surpassed my expectations and on top of that extremely friendly and attentive service! I had been put off by the prices for a while - but I craved wholesome and grounded, full flavor food this time. I am very glad I turned in and got more than I asked for. This is serious love-infused cheffin’. Will be back with more people 🥘🥄⭐️

We regularly eat Caribbean food in London & Surrey restaurants. Cribbs @ Falmouth is right up there with the very best. Great Caribbean menu with the standards and a few surprises. Great flavours, great service, great music, & some very nice wine. (Try some Wray&Nephew on your ice cream) Everyone should eat here !
