| The
Greenbank Hotel is Falmouth's oldest, and the only hotel on the water's
edge of one of the world's largest and deepest natural harbours. Dating
from the mid-seventeenth century and with its own private quay, The Greenbank
served as a base for the Captains of the Packet Ships, which sailed on
regular schedules carrying mail, passengers and cargo around the world.
Spring 2000 saw completion, by new owners, of a million pound refurbishment
programme, justifying The Greenbank's claim to embody the finest traditions
of comfort and hospitality. As you step into the entrance foyer, with
its flagstones and sweeping staircase, sense the atmosphere of history
and tradition that has made The Greenbank famous for over three hundred
years. |
