Perched on the gently sloping cliffs above Falmouth Bay, our wonderful venue offers a relaxed space for you to gather your favourite people for a full day of unforgettable wedding celebrations. On sunny days, toast to your ‘just married’ status with a chilled glass of bubbly as you take in the panoramic sea views from our sun-soaked terrace.
When the air’s a little chillier, keep cosy inside and wave-watch from your table as our Head Chef and his creative team serve up a Cornish feast your guests will love. Whatever the time of year, our spacious event space will have you dancing the night away, and talking about the best day of your lives for years to come.
