Lovely position to walk to the beaches and town centre
Position of the property
A rather small room..had to leave my room to go to the toilet..which was just for my use along the corridor.

Très bon séjour, je recommande
Nous avons passé une nuit. Chambre et petit déjeuner tout à fait corrects
05.07.2026
I had the top floor room with a balcony overlooking the sea.
On my last morning they made a special early breakfast for me which was deeply appreciated.
Climbing all those stairs...

Perfect location,

Poltair House is a very nice B&B very close to Gilly beach in Falmouth. It's small, which gives it a homely feel, and it is perfectly comfortable. The breakfast is good, and the staff are very nice. Ritu is a very attentive and friendly host.
The single room is too small, and the toilet, although private, is outside the room. But it is a great place if you're there to mostly spend the night whilst exploring Cornwall, so no complaints at all.

Cannot be beaten as to value for money
It is cheap and in a great location, right next to the beach.
It’s good value for money but don’t expect anything beyond this. It looks like it hasn’t been updated for a decades. Please give it a lock of paint and straighten the picture frames.

Spaciuous room
Good breakfast

Location, friendly and attentive staff, great breakfast.
Room was tired, lots of marks on walls.

OK based on early booking rate,paid.
Good location and facilities represented ok value for money, based on a reduced rate paid, as booked many months ago. Bathroom in good condition clean and all facilities in working order. Bed comfortable.
Bedroom could do with a little bit of improvement as showing signs of wear & tear. E.g. stains on carpet. I am sure carpets had been cleaned and coffee stains can be difficult to remove.
22.06.2026
Very basic clean and very lovely host
Not far from the beach or town
For the monies paid to the rest of the area with breakfast not much to moan about
21.06.2026
Die Betten waren super bequem. Die Einrichtung bot alles Notwendige. Das Personal war höflich und zuvorkommend. Die Lage am Beach von Fallmouth ist super.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen Einrichtung.

Lovely guesthouse
Lovely guesthouse in a great location just down the street from the Princess Pavilion and 15 minutes walk into town. Tasty breakfast and exceptionally friendly hosts. Very good value for money.
My single room had an exterior toilet which wasn't ideal but absolutely not a deal breaker.
17.06.2026
Perfectly fine place to stay
Friendly staff, decent breakfast. Rooms are ‘traditional’ (some would say ‘dated’) but it was clean & comfortable & served me well.
17.06.2026
pleasant enough but poor room maintenence
comfortable bed and decent bathroom
poorly maintained room
dated deco and poorly painted
16.06.2026
Well positioned for beaches and local attractions
Ideally situated for beaches and local attractions
Parking was not guaranteed out side, but not really much of a problem has there was usually spaces in the street.

Overall a pleasant stay
Large comfy bed. We had a nice view of the water with chairs to sit and relax. Excellent breakfast
Lighting in the room could be better but doable.

Comfortable, nice staff, good location, good breakfast! ( I appreciated my request for an early breakfast)
A bit pricey, shower was not very powerful.

Great location, great view and really friendly, accommodating staff. I was really pleasantly surprised at how nice and spacious the room was and the place was very clean. Breakfast was very nice.

A most enjoyable stay and we would go there again.
Its location, the atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and choice, nice room and views,
Excellent drinks facility in the room. A fridge stocked with water and fresh milk. Good WiFi. Nice garden. There was a balcony, but the wet and windy weather prevented us from making use of it. The extra blanket was necessary and was used, as it was colder than expected in June.
There was no none-slip mat in the bath and no grab handle at a suitable height. Without these the bath was slippery and dangerous. The front path and steps were slippery after rain, although there was a handrail.
There was only on road parking, which was limited. Mostly this was not a problem, but we did have to park in a different road on one evening.
The instant shower heaters were very noisy and could be heard in the neighbouring rooms , but they did the job.

A reminder that small, privately owned hotels can offer a more human experience.
Proper, seaside hotel. Refreshing not to be in Premier Inn!
07.06.2026
I loved the characterful building and beautiful garden and waterfall.
Loved tranquillity and sea views. Very good breakfast
Shethna & her Sister and Sakai were so helpful and kind.. I am very grateful thank you.

Good value for money with a good breakfast included, and friendly & laid back but efficient hosts.
Great breakfast options with plenty of food, nice large room, fridge in room stocked with cold water. Also tea & coffee, biscuits etc. provided. Good location for train station and walking to Gylly beach. About 15 mins from town. Large shower with plenty of hot water. Good value for money compared to other accommodation options.
Bathroom could have been slightly cleaner - ceilings look a little bit worse for wear. Didn't impact our stay though.
02.06.2026
Lovely staff but very small room
Lovely staff who stayed open when our train was substantially delayed. Within walking distance of the station and spotlessly clean. Really good breakfast.
Very small room and thin walls so you could hear other guests moving around.

Schöne Lage, ruhig aber trotzdem zentral. Zu Fuß ist man in 12 Min am Hafen. Wir hatten sogar Meerblick vom Zimmer. Nettes Personal, hat sich um alles sofort gekümmert. Reichhaltiges Frühstück.
Die Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, war aber sauber.

Satisfactory
Proximity to sea and town. Towels.
Shared balcony. 3 beds in room. Uncomfortable small double bed. Loose toilet roll holder.

Welcoming and helpful
They went out of their way to cook us breakfast after all the other guests had been down.This was after we had been out on a Parkrun.
Soap dispenser didn’t work in the shower and pop up plug in the hand basin didn’t water.

Great staff, great location, great balcony and good breakfast - thank you
Lovely welcoming B & B, superb location, we had the dleuxe room with the balcony, so lovey to see out. The breakfast was really good and welcome before our jourmey home.
Parking was tricky on the street so we parked in the Dell station carpark. We didn't have heavy bags as only staying one night.

Room was clean

Gute Lage ist nicht alles
Gefallen hat uns die Freundlichkeit des Personals und die Lage. Man ist sehr schnell an den Hafen und in die Innenstadt gelaufen.
Die guten Bewertungen sind für uns nicht nachvollziehbar. Es ist alles sehr abgewohnt und vor allem sehr hellhörig. Das Frühstück ist allenfalls durchschnittlich, der Kaffee nicht genießbar. Beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Falmouth würden wir definitiv eine andere Unterkunft buchen.
23.05.2026
Ok
Die Lage ist sehr schön in zweiter Lage zum Strand und der Weg zur Innenstadt mit 15 Minuten ok
Ich war sehr gespannt auf die Unterkunft aufgrund der durchwachsenen Bewertungen. Leider muss ich sagen, dass ich die Unterkunft eher durchschnittlich fand und die aktuelle Bewertung von 8,4 für mein empfinden zu hoch ist. Das Zimmer an sich war ok, aber warum der Balkon nicht mehr hergerichtet wird ist für mich unverständlich, da es bei schönem Wetter sonst sehr schön wäre darauf zu sitzen. Das Zimmer wurde bei 3 Übernachtungen nicht geputzt, keine Betten gemacht oder Gläser gewechselt. Das Frühstück war eher schlecht und der Kaffee ungenießbar. Man kann vorab aus verschiedenen Varianten wählen. Kontinentales Frühstück besteht allerdings aus Croissant mit Marmelade und es gibt keinen Wurst oder Käseaufschnitt oder Ähnliches.
23.05.2026
Fine
Good location, friendly staff
Broadly fine, but perhaps needs smartening up?
21.05.2026
Staff is very friendly and helpful, beds are comfortable, location is fine for train travel
Smell in the hallway is very off-putting, like old grease. Place has not been updated or renovated for a long time. Carpet is stained, stains from previous water damage in bathroom and room. Just very dated.
16.05.2026
Zimmer mit Meerblick
Es gibt öffentliche Parkplätze direkt vor der Haustür.
Unser Zimmer hatte einen Balkon und Blick auf das Meer.
Beim Frühstück kann man auswählen, ob man Continental oder English Breakfast haben möchte.
Das Bett war breit und bequem.
Die Treppen sind mit Gepäck etwas eng.

I'll miss you Poltair!
I found everything I expected here. I'm very glad I chose Poltair for my stay in Falmouth. The service is very friendly and professional. The food is delicious, and the room is comfortable and clean. It's very close to the beach, where you can also enjoy a good coffee and a meal. Shops are a short walk away, and the town center is also close by.
12.05.2026
Staff, location,breakfast was really good. Had a comfortable stay
The toilet didn't have the mat to dry our legs.
07.05.2026
Good location close to seafront and not far from Falmouth town train station
Clean and comfortable bed. Spacious bedroom with good storage facilities for clothes and hiking gear. Free tea and coffee with biscuits. Nice to have a fridge in the room as well. The place has a retro feel to it and the front of the property is well presented. Lovely garden with veranda/patio area. Excellent location close to the seafront within walking distance of the main train station.
Some of the fixtures and furnishings could do with an upgrade/makeover in places. The shower room did not have a non slip bathmat in it. Also rusty screws poking out of the wall. Some of the decor looks tired and worn in places.
07.05.2026
Nice place! Great location and very nice staff. Charming little garden area by front entrance.
Wonderful place. The only thing I wished for would have been a small common area sitting room on the first floor.
06.05.2026
Loved the breakfast the view was great, but then I used to live n the area . I've stayed here before too, so I knew what to expect.
The toilet, having to leave the romm but then that was my choice but at my age getting up in the night is my problem.

Location, staff, facilities for price - all brilliant.
Very little - the shower was a bit underpowered, but otherwise really all great.

Good guest house - we had very windy weather !
Easy to find - welcoming
Quite a lot of steps

I was staying for 2 nights. I had a quiet room towards the back of the building. Slept well, good breakfast and I will gladly come again. Thank you!

A very pleasant stay with helpful and friendly staff.
Very professional, clean, friendly and helpful. Lisa in the dining room was superb, she certainly had the routines weighed off to a ‘T’. Everything worked like clockwork.

Falmouth beside the sea
Brilliant location to town and beach.
Nice room with small balcony and brilliant view
Staff were all very friendly and looked after us during our stay
Breakfast was very limited and basic although we had enough to start the day.
Some of the decor needed touching up but was not a major issue and these comments would not stop us returning.
All in all the guest house suited us well.
13.04.2026

09.04.2026
Just a great place to be!
Stayed there before knew the people are friendly, exceptionally helpful and an all round pleasure.
The breakfast whatever was selected would benefit from better quality ingredients and appropriate cooking methods viz
Microwaved eggs are neither poached or scrambled;
Similarly cheap sliced bread warmed is not toast.
07.04.2026
Bene ma non benissimo
Staff molto gentile e disponibile - due poltrone in veranda consentono un buon relax
La struttura è datata e si vede - si nota lo sforzo per renderla migliore ma il bagno era improponibile e la moquette ovunque (per carità in UK è ancora molto diffusa) non rende proprio giustizia ad una pulizia eccelsa...il prezzo dovrebbe essere inferiore in rapporto alla qualità percepita ed offerta - duecento euro sono veramente troppi , nono vale - mi spiace - la posizione è in un quartiere lontano dal centro quindi occorre auto. Per il posteggio bisogna avere fortuna di trovarlo in strada nei pressi... altrimenti si scarpina. Con un prezzo minore sarebbe stato un buono ..non di più .
05.04.2026
Kind upgrade and very conscientious owners. Incredible location and parking and scrambled egg!
02.04.2026
Excellent location, street parking was easy and plentiful. The room was clean and pleasant and breakfast was great.
The hot water pressure was low, meaning that the shower took a very long time to warm up and was slow-flowing. Decor was a little tired in places.
29.03.2026
Happy stay
Staff were lovely, breakfast was good, parking was easy, and the location was perfect. I got an unexpected upgrade, which i thought was really kind. Decor was a little worn, but I prefer somewhere that's lived in and feels homely, so it suited me well. I would stay there again.
There was nothing that I didn't like.
29.03.2026
Quaint property on the quieter side of town. Very helpful staff
Room was on smaller side
28.03.2026

Easy to find and I was upgraded from a single room to a double. Fantastic breakfast included with the room.

Lovely greeting, upgraded my room, big room comfy bed, sea view, good wifi.
Not much - great value for the location and friendly staff. Only negative comment would be the decor is a little bit tired but for the value and location it made up for it.
15.03.2026
Great location, lovely breakfast - Poltair gave me everything I needed - I will be back!!
I booked a single room as travelling alone and was happily surprised and pleased to find I had been given a lovely double room with sea view when I opened to room door. This was much appreciated and unexpected! The location is perfect for exploring Falmouth. Gylly beach is just around the corner, Falmouth town is 15 mins walk in the other direction and Pendennis Castle on the headland and worth a visit. The lady who served the breakfasts (I am sorry that I dont know her name) was really friendly and attentive. Parking is on the street outside and when I went in March there were spaces each time I needed to park.
There was nothing I didnt like and it was value for money. I think it could do with a lick of paint in some communal areas but this is in no way a complaint as I am very grateful for the kind upgrade!
