  “Food was good and fresh, but we came in with our 3 month old and was told after we paid for our drinks and food that management said they don't allow prams- which is quite shocking for a place next to a family friendly beach! Would rather they have told us before we paid and we would have found somewhere else to go! But they were happy to allow a dog to run around not on their lead!”

  “What a great find in Swanpool Falmouth. This place overlooks the sea and the beach and is a fantastic place for a drink, snack or dinner! We loved the happy hour, half price cocktails which were amazing. The restaurant has inside and outside seating with the outdoors on a first come basis. The food was also really good we had their seafood platter for two with lobster mussels, clams, and prawns. It comes with two doorstops of their own bread to mop up the juices, delicious. Underpinning all the great food and drinks is the atmosphere and the fantastic service. The restaurant manager is so lovely and friendly, happy to chat with us and introduced us to her sister who was also working there both of them so lovely. That's not to say the other staff weren't also great, thanks for a great couple of sessions. One night they were fully booked but the younger sister said "my sister will try and fit you in if you can't find anywhere else" above and beyond! In tbe end she recommended their sister restaurant Harbour House which is another review to look out for. Thank you Beach House, we'll be back.”

  “We chose this restaurant to celebrate our son's graduation, and it was the perfect place for such a special occasion. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every detail made our evening memorable. A special thank you to Daisy, who looked after us throughout the evening. She was incredibly kind, attentive, friendly, and professional. Her excellent service made our celebration even more enjoyable, and she truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.”

  “The food was above average. We enjoyed the beach view. However, there are some issues I need to highlight. When me and my lady wanted to order food, the waitress asked me to order from another waitress since she is not our allocated waitress. Customers should be able to order from any waiter or waitress working in the restaurant. When another waitress came, she only took order for drinks. She said the kitchen is busy and we would have to wait to order our food another time. Again, I have never experienced this before. You should just take the order when customers want to order food. During that time, the restaurant was not even half full. For the bill, most restaurants in UK would charge 10 percent for service fees while they charge 12.5 percent service fees when the service isnt great. In the end, we wanted to carry away the water bottle we ordered since it is 4.5 pounds and still plenty left. They said we are allowed to take away water bottle but when I asked where is the lid that waitress said they threw away already. How am I supposed to carry away a water bottle without a lid? Most waitresses working there are students and I feel like they have no experience or guidance for serving customers at all. I dont think I will go back there again.”

  “Overpriced. And the menu had such limited options for us to choose from, don’t know if we were given a different menu, but there weren’t any usual seafood that you would usually see in other similar restaurants. The seabass was awfully small portioned for a price of £27, we ordered 2 portions, but it seemed like it was one portion cut in half. Compared to the table who also ordered seabass, ours were definitely mini. The fun part was that the tables had some interesting card trivia games to kill time, but apart from that, everything else wasn’t really satisfactory. Don’t think we’ll be making a visit again.”

  “Came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon without reservation. Friendly and good service by lovely waiting staff who managed to grab us a table even though we hadn't booked, labour costs in this place must be sky high however as there were about 5/6 waiting staff for probably around 13 tables max. Ordered the scallop as this is always a marker as to how a restaurant will be - this was great and passed the test, would order 10 of these if i was to go again - hazelnut butter did wonders! Partner ordered burrata rigatoni - it was pappardelle - however, creamy pasta sauce, good coating and decent amount of burrata on the plate. I ordered crab linguine - taste was good albeit a little fishy, and it could have done with some more flavour from the sauce- was a little on the oily side and since eating and writing this 3 days later I have had an upset stomach which doesn't seem to be going away. I think this place is good, but it is overpriced and could definitely be better. Our bill came to £100 - I had a lemonade and my partner had a glass of wine and we had 2 courses each. I understand places have running costs but this was not value for money. I should have known when I saw the bottle of Chin Chin - we get this all the time in our local wine shop usually is £14 a bottle - they had it marked for £54. I am familiar with my wines, and I understand that places need to make a profit, but slapping £40 on the retail value of a wine is insane, especially when they are more than likely buying this in at wholesale pricing. We would have more than likely ordered this bottle had it been at a more reasonable markup like £26/£30 and added this to the value of our bill. The final verdict - The only thing really letting this place down is the overpriced menu. You can get better quality food for less in other places and you won't feel like you've been ripped off.”

  “Possibly the best seafood in Cornwall - we went on a quiet Monday lunchtime and had the oysters, crab linguine and desserts with every course being perfect. Staff were friendly and service was excellent - would 100% recommend!”

  “I booked The Beach house after doing research with many sources depicting this restaurant one of the top fresh fish restaurants in the Southwest. After booking I was then worried at seeing all the recent negative reviews. I kept the reservation and am so glad I did. Was it pricy? Yes - but you expect that going in. You’re not buying fish and chips, you’re buying freshly caught - never frozen- fish. The staff were all very friendly and helpful when choosing our meals and reservations online. Okay the fantastic food. We had a scallop each to start. Stunning. Best scallop ever, we had to order another each. Massive with a nutty dressing. We then shared the white wine muscles. Simple but again, amazing. Better than any I’ve had in France. The sauce was swiftly soaked up with the delicate rosemary focaccia. The wife ordered the crab linguine which was FULL of crab. I ordered the special, a £25 Mackerel that was tempura fried to perfection, allowing the fish to do all the talking. Accompanied by a charred lemon and the most perfectly paired herbs. I believe it was chives, mint, parsley with the sweetness of the charred lemon completely elevated the dish. Honestly the best fish dish I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten a lot of fresh fish with bigger portions but this topped them all. For dessert we each had an affogato and shared the rosemary, lemon and white chocolate baked cookie dough. Great flavours the followed on nicely from a fishy meal. Great ambiance, looking over the beachfront, cheeks rosy from the brilliance of the food.”

  “Delicious seafood all round. However the starters we shared were the highlight. Don’t miss out on the foccacia to mop up the sauce from the prawns! Not a fan of Loveday gin though so please stock another brand behind your bar as well. Thankyou”
