The Beach House Group to launch first overnight rooms

Coastal hospitality group Beach House has unveiled plans to launch a second Beach House restaurant in Cornwall next month, as well as offer rooms for the first time.

Owners Tamara Costin and William Speed opened the first Beach House in 2010 on South Milton Sands, a National Trust-protected area of the South Hams in Devon.

The seafood restaurant works closely with dayboat fishermen to offer menu items such as fish of the day, oysters, fritto misto, and clam linguine.

The Group has since confirmed plans for a second outpost – Beach House Falmouth – overlooking Swanpool Beach and nature reserve.

The pair felt a connection to the Falmouth property as Speed’s grandmother and aunt had both worked at the site in its former guises during the 60s and 90s.

There are already plans to extend the site in winter 2025/26 through the addition of more covers and floor-to-ceiling glass walls on all beach-facing sides.

Beach House Falmouth will serve dishes such as Falmouth Bay scallops, daily specials from Newlyn market and Blue Fin tuna.

The group’s other properties include the School House restaurant in Mothecombe, Devon, and the Harbour House pub in Flushing, Cornwall.

The owners will also offer rooms for the first time this spring at Harbour House, which first launched in summer 2023.

There are plans for three ensuite bedrooms complete with superking-size beds, lighting from Penryn-based Skinflint, pieces from Kernow Furniture and amenities from Land + Water.

Costin said: “Our places are all about enjoying good times and great local food in amazing locations, and Beach House Falmouth already feels like the essence of that. We’re so pleased to join Jack, Katie and the team, and are looking forward to meeting all the regular diners and customers.”

Speed added: “My mother’s side of the family are all from Falmouth. I spent much of my childhood playing on Swanpool Beach, so when the opportunity arose for this spot, we just couldn’t say no.”

Beach House Falmouth will open on 8 February.
