This was my fave traditional pub in Falmouth. Situated on the front (as the name says!) and under the excellent harbour lights restaurant. There's a long bar with a fine range of cask ales on the many hand pulls, many from local brewers. Plenty for the cider drinker too. Beer quality was good and it's a pleasing place to quench your thirst.

We felt extremely lucky to get a couple of great days sailing in in such a beautiful location and with the knowledgeable help and tutelage of Scotty. My girlfriend and I had both done a reasonable amount of sailing but not recently and just wanted a refresher/ excuse to sail. Tracy recommended we start with Level 1 which was a good idea as we had no idea what we might remember. It turned out that we were able to progress past this quite quickly and the team were really flexible and put us in a Laser 2000 for our second day. Scotty gave us great encouragement and advice from the rib and we had an amazing day going along the estuary up to Falmouth and St Mawes. All thoughts of Coronavirus had left my mind whilst I was sailing but the efficient, while not overbearing, measures in place at the school meant that it was never a worry. A real highlight of our holiday.

Games room was a great find to get out from the rain for a couple of hours. It would be good what ever the weather. Ladies trying very hard with Covid guidelines and done a great job! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, pool, snooker, ping pong, board games! Nice bar.

Know Thy Self

Reviewed By 177clarep - Helston, United Kingdom

I have been a regular customer of Know Thy Self for several years. Great for 'quirky' gifts and for regular supplies of incense, second hand books on esoteric subjects and other spiritual paraphernalia. However, today I had a tarot reading with Caroline and it was so amazingly accurate I felt I had to leave a review. I am at a crossroads in my life and this reading not only gave me the clarification I needed but was accurate about recent past events and gave me hope for my future. Highly recommend this lovely space, Caroline and her shop..!

The Seven Stars

A 17th century ale house that has stood still in time. The Building it's self dates back to 14th century as a grain store for the mill that was next door. The view from the windows was slightly different then it is today, the moor ( aptly named) is reclaimed land where the river came right up to where Asha indian restaurant is now. It is now a Grade II listed building and on the CAMRA National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The interior is smoke stained, the bar hasn't been decorated since the 1950s. The Seven Stars was granted its licence in 1660, a year before Falmouth was given its Royal Charter and the licensee at the time was one Henry Penial and his Spouse Mary-Jane. It has seen many changes around Falmouth and has also encountered many characters, from salty old sea dogs to Royalty. Many of the characters worked on the water or for the water, on working boats or down in the shipyard. All of them had fascinating stories to tell. The pub has 7 generations of the same family dating from 1873, from more recent times the most famous Landlord Rev John Barrington Bennetts serving his time for nearly 60years behind the bar and serving his congregation at The Parish Church, before his passing back in 2011. There are quirky points to the pub, the coffin hatch being one of them, which you can find in the back saloon bar. The ladies is also a talking point.... if your a lady reading this you will understand :) An amazing collection of Key Rings can be found in the bar which started its vast collection back in 1953. We still find ourselves being handed key rings from eager customers.

Just back from the front you will find this historic pub. It's a real local's boozer, the beer is poured by gravity straight from the barrel, there's a narrow stillage behind the bar. There's not much room in the bar, a couple of fun snug's round the back though. The Seven Stars is the polar opposite of modern plastic chain pubs, plenty of local colour, and some maintenance is required. Good beer quality here, an essential visit for fans of real ale and traditional pubs.
