Beautiful hotel in every respect. The staff are exceptional, the food superb,frankly, there is nothing to critisise. Even by the standards laid down by the Brend brand, the Royal Duchy is a "stand out " hotel.

We also had a 4 day SAGA holiday at this hotel in October. The sea view room was delightful, the staff were friendly, the breakfasts were very nice and well-cooked and the evening meals were awful. We had the same menu each evening, with only a minor alteration so that it could be called "different." There were no specials to increase the choice.Vegetables were charged extra. Cornish cream or cornish icecream were never on the menu. My husband and I found it difficult to make three choices that were really wanted on our first evening. Being given the same menu the next evening was a disappointment

We had an evening meal there on our last day of our short break in Falmouth. The food was good and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I liked the fact that the menu was a fixed price, and although on the expensive side the quality was commensurate.

Great staff and location, although I think that some of the rooms are starting to feel a little tired. The porter was fantastic and an asset to the hotel! I think that the hotel should look at room 110 as its lacking in privacy from the neighbouring building. I would go again and it was only a few niggles that stop it from getting 5 starts
