Braemar Guest House – Bed & Breakfast in Falmouth

Comfortable, friendly, family-run B&B on Avenue Road – a few minutes’ walk from Gyllyngvase Beach, the town centre and Falmouth Town station.

Braemar Guest House is close to the heart of Falmouth, only a few minutes’ walk from the harbour, the marina, the maritime museum, pubs, restaurants and shops – or, if you prefer, Gyllyngvase Beach, the coastal walks and the ornamental gardens. The railway station and ferry stops are also a few minutes away, and there is parking at the house.

When it advertised with us, Braemar offered nine contemporary rooms, most of them en suite, including a family room with its own lounge, each with flat screen TV and a hospitality tray, and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Braemar Guest House is no longer advertising on Cornwall Online. For bookings please contact the guest house directly on 01326 311285, or browse the places to stay nearby.

Rooms at Braemar

The rooms were refurbished and decorated in a contemporary style, with flat screen TVs and a kettle with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. Most have en suite facilities, and the family suite has its own lounge – ideal for four sharing. The guest house is open all year round.

Braemar prides itself on presentation, service and cleanliness, with a warm and friendly welcome from the family who run it. Please contact the guest house for current rooms and prices.

How to Find Braemar

  • By car: follow the A39 to Falmouth and the signs for Falmouth Docks. Carry straight on at the traffic lights and both roundabouts, and just before the Princess Pavilion turn left into Avenue Road.
  • By rail: Falmouth Town station (The Dell) is the second-to-last stop on the branch line from Truro – walk under the railway bridge and Braemar is about 100 metres up the hill.
  • By coach: National Express coaches stop on The Moor in Falmouth, a short taxi ride away.

Falmouth – Beaches, Harbour & Maritime History

Falmouth sits on one of the world’s largest natural harbours. From Avenue Road it is an easy, flat walk into the town’s long main street of independent shops, galleries, cafés and waterside pubs, and down to Discovery Quay and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

In the other direction, Gyllyngvase is the town’s main family beach, with Castle Beach, Tunnel Beach and Swanpool along the seafront, and the path around Pendennis Point leads to Pendennis Castle. Ferries run across to Flushing and St Mawes, and up the River Fal towards Truro.
