Inn with roomsQuay Street, Falmouth
Six rooms above the quay, and the kettle’s always on
A 1790s ferryman's house on Falmouth's harbour, with a wood-burning snug and breakfast that runs late on Sundays.
The house
Kept by the same family since 1962
Ruth and Tom took the house over from Ruth's parents, who bought it when the ferry still ran from the slipway outside.
It is small on purpose: six rooms, one big breakfast table, and a snug where people end up talking to strangers.
