Lovely fall stay

Stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful house that is decorated so well and not too far from the centre of Falmouth. Fab breakfast with plenty of choice and the owner is friendly, helpful and attentive. Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy inn. Very comfortable bed. Bath is very nice wit double sinks and deep tub. Bedroom is very small but it has a small fridge and a sofa. Our bathroom not negative is that it’s hard to find even after being there a few days. The sign and driveway are tucked into foliage and the street traffic is moving along and you must come to a dead stop. Even so I would stay here again. The innkeeper was lovely and very helpful and accommodating!

Our stay at the Frederick William House was outstanding! The room and bathroom were both spacious and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Jeanette was a fantastic host - warm, welcoming, and a true pleasure to chat with. The location was convenient, just a short drive to downtown. We especially enjoyed the continental breakfast, which offered a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, we loved our stay and would gladly return.

It was a nice and clean hotel and was designed beautifully. It’s great that they have bikes available there and allow you to go for biking on the Shinning sea trail, and it would be beneficial if they do some maintenance for the bike and make sure that they are in a good shape. Overall I was satisfied staying there.

This was a nice place to stay. Clean and thoughtful in terms of rooms and ambience. Breakfast was a bit disappointing as compared to other B&Bs we've been at.

Exceptional in every way. Jeanette is so warm and welcoming; we enjoyed our chats with her every morning at breakfast. The inn itself is quaint and peaceful, with beautifully decorated rooms, all of which are meticulously maintained. The location is perfect: only a few miles from lovely restaurants and convenient ferry service to the islands. Our dinners at Glass Onion and Landfall were excellent. Highly recommend the Frederick Williams Inn and Falmouth overall!

We enjoyed our stay at Frederick Williiam House. It is in a perfect location. Staff was great. My critique woud be the outdoor seating area could of been cleaned better.. table and chairs were dirty, spider webs and bird poo on all of them. I also do not think it should be advertised as breakfast included as you do have to pay extra for the continental breakfast- and the breakfast that is included is pastries. aside from that we would consider returning here.
