Merchants Manor

This country house, in the vibrant seaside town of Falmouth, has been renovated to create a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere. It sits on a raised vantage point, affording sea views across Falmouth Bay.

Many come here specifically for the food – the in-house Rastella restaurant is excellent and winner of 3 Rosettes. There’s also an emphasis on wellness; the spa features a gym, heated pool, steam room, sauna and hydrotherapy tub, and there are peaceful gardens for relaxing and yoga classes.

If you want a spacious, but relaxing and comfortable base to explore the best of the town, and Cornwall’s southern coastline – this is it. Children over 12 are welcome.
