Very nice place with fair prices

The FLB is a really nice place to stay. It is 3 min to walk to the seaside and 15 min to the centre of Falmouth. It is located in a quite area of the city. The house has different accommodations, a charming kitchen with an aga, living-room with TV, DVD and internet access. The host Judy is very charming and caring and really wants her guests to feel comfortable.

Great location (only minutes from the train and beach), Comfy, Clean!

Judi runs a very warm, welcoming hostel. It is exactly the environment I want to be in after a long day hiking and battling the elements. Judi is a traveler and a kindred spirit to everyone open to adventure. She has a wealth of information about the area. The rooms are ideal, beds comfy, and I particularly loved falling asleep listening to the ocean and wind howling outside my window. Have fun!

Clean, friendly, very warm, accomodating, homey

the best hostel we have stayed in. Very clean, friendly, warm, homey. the owner and her family are very friendly and more than happy to help with local knowledge of pubs, restaurants, tourist attractions, and close towns. we would recommend anyone to stay here.
