The Sandy Duck, Falmouth, Cornwall, UK - Explore & Book

"After sailing the world as a stewardess on luxury yachts, Freyja Ducker returned to the UK to be nearer family. But she decided to put her hospitality experience to good use, scouring the country for the perfect B&B before stumbling across this faded Edwardian townhouse. The results of her year-long renovation are stunning. Behind the hot-pink front door lie a light-filled breakfast room, a cosy lounge where a fire crackles in winter, and 8 beautiful bedrooms that blend Scandinavian simplicity with English quirkiness. Throughout, calming colours and clean lines are warmed by snuggly throws and sheepskins, and walls are dotted with artworks by Freyja’s mother and sister, including an eye-catching piece created from the roof’s old joists.We were greeted with enthusiastic tail-wagging by resident dog Rhubarb, who set the scene for the informal, friendly atmosphere: the feel here is more home than hotel. It’s ideally located for exploring – the town centre is a 10-minute walk in one direction, beaches 10 minutes in the other, and the Roseland Peninsula lies just across the Fal Estuary. Return to sink-into sofas and an excellent night’s sleep, followed by a slap-up Cornish breakfast. It’s easy to see why The Sandy Duck has received rave reviews since opening in spring 2017, and we loved it, too. Highs Stylish and great-value rooms, all but one with views across Falmouth Bay, and some with window seats or freestanding tubsA relaxed, kick-your-shoes-off vibe that puts you instantly at easeDelicious breakfasts packed with local produce, plus daily home-baked cakes in your roomFalmouth itself – a vibrant university town with an array of restaurants, boutiques, museums and galleries, plus 4 beaches A great option for a car-free break - it’s easily accessible by train, and you can explore on foot and ferry Lows It’s on the edge of town, but the upshots are peace and plenty of parking – and it’s an easy stroll into the centreHot breakfast dishes are only served until 9.30am, but you can linger as long as you want over the cold buffetNo lunch or dinner menu, but there are plenty of restaurants within walking distanceFreyja is waiting for an alcohol licence so there’s no honesty bar – in the meantime, bring your own drinks to enjoy in your room" - Abi Dare

Location of the House is really nice and also the atmosphere inside , it's just 10min walk to the Beach . Definitely it's worth staying here , although not more than 2 days especially of you have your room with Sea View as it's literally facing the street and during night time there's a lot of noise due to traffic ,so the house doesn't have any Soundproof. Also , there's no AC (there was a Dyson fan but didn't helped ) so on hot days you need try to fall asleep with the windows open and get used with the noise from outside . Breakfast was great . Bathroom was nice aswell but needs full cover on shower glass as the water reaches the door .

The Sandy Duck is the best designed place I have ever stayed in. Period. The interior design is super nice, the view of Falmouth stunning, the facilities at the property simply great. The "star"is definitely the staff, who were just great and right behind follows the most stunning/creative breakfast I have ever seen at a B&B. If I come back to Falmouth, this is where I will stay.

A lovely quiet boutique hotel. The decoration of the room was calming, the waterfall shower was excellent!The staff could not do enough to make one have a comfortable stay. The breakfast was yummy! Every day one is offered freshly made cake, which I felt was a lovely touch to our stay. Information on local attractions were available. A 15 minute walk from Falmouth town station which translates to a 5 minute taxi ride. Two lovely beaches are within walking distance. We could see the sea from our bedroom window. I highly recommend this hotel!

We came here on short notice, fleeing a most unsatisfactory hotel in the north. We could not have been happier with our find! A beautiful little guest house with very friendly service and great, creative breakfast options. Great location and views.

This was our second visit to The Sandy Duck, and we loved it just as much if not more than our first visit! We booked last minute and the team were really accommodating of this. The breakfast was a highlight. We can't wait to return :)

As if beautiful Falmouth weren't charming enough, coming home to The Sandy Duck was the best. I can't get over how thoughtful & attentive the staff is here, down to preparing my double espresso for me without my even asking, or remembering that I drink a lot of water and bringing extra bottles to my room. My holiday was affected by a work crisis and so I had to stay indoors more than originally intended, but this was such a great place to do it - whether my room or in the beautiful lounge. I recommend getting a room with a bathtub for a good mid-afternoon soak after a morning of exploring, followed by a warm drink and slice of cake downstairs before a sunset beach walk. It truly is the simple things in life, no?

A beautiful house with lovely spacious rooms with amazing views. The staff are superb and there is a great choice for breakfast, which is always excellent. The afternoon cake is a lovely extra.

We just come back from a wonderful stay at the Sandy duck. The breakfast were amazing. The pancakes with poached pear were the best. We also enjoyed the afternoon homemade cake. The staff made it a perfect stay. Thank you.
