The Sandy Duck
Hotel
Directions

A beautifully restored Edwardian townhouse on a quiet hill between Falmouth town and its beaches, run with genuine warmth by owner Freyja — a former luxury yacht stewardess who knows a thing or two about hospitality. Eight individually designed rooms blend Scandinavian simplicity with vintage finds and family artworks, all with Hypnos beds and excellent bathrooms. Homemade cake and tea served every afternoon; breakfasts cooked to order using local organic produce. Free parking — genuinely rare in Falmouth. Ten minutes’ walk to the harbour, beaches in the other direction. One of the loveliest small hotels in Cornwall.
