Rise and shine to sun-speckled harbour views. Submerge yourself in characterful history. Dive into delicious food and breathe in the sea-salt air. At The Greenbank, our unique location, rich Cornish heritage, contemporary styling and outstanding levels of service keep guests coming back, year after year. Whether you’re paddling at the shoreline, strolling the bustling cobbled streets or lounging on our terrace, we know you’ll be captivated by Falmouth and what it has to offer.

From the height of summer when the town is bustling with holiday-makers, beaches look like far-flung, exotic destinations and flip flops are the everyday attire, to the crisp autumn winter months when Christmas lights twinkle, seagulls swoop beside stormy seas and the scent of oven-baked pasties fills the streets, there is beauty and Cornish charm to be discovered 365 days a year in Falmouth, and The Greenbank is rooted deep in the history of the town.
