The Space:
Having been recently renovated from top to toe, this beautiful apartment is a real hidden gem. You’ve got everything you need and more. An inviting living space where you can snuggle up after long day’s exploring, and a stylish kitchen boasting all the mod cons. Plus, all the extra touches like brass handles, a brass tap and open shelving with unique crockery make it feel like a home away from home.
Wake up in the light and bright double bedroom, which is equipped with ample storage space so you can really make yourself at home. There is also a double sofa bed if you are two single guests. Meanwhile, next door is a modern bathroom with a shower. As locations go, the apartment is close to everything – it's only a 15 minute walk to Gyllyngvase Beach and 20 to Swanpool where you can enjoy drinks overlooking the water. In five minutes, you’ll reach all the best restaurants, shops and pubs along the highstreet. With free on street parking across the road, you won't need the car for much. So pull on your walking shoes and set off on foot instead, exploring Falmouth's coastal walks, art galleries and live music scene in ease.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the whole apartment. It is all on one level and there are no stairs inside the apartment.
The Neighborhood:
This lovely apartment has the best of both worlds: you're located within the leafy suburbs of Falmouth, whilst still within walking distance of the town's vibrant centre. Within moments, you could be enjoying an afternoon tea or delicious dinner at the renowned Greenbank Hotel or enjoying a stroll along the water's edge. Some of the town's best pubs are all within a walking distance too, from the Ferry Boat Inn to the Star & Garter. The bustling town centre is a short stroll away, around 5 minutes, and here you will find a brilliant selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants as well as convenience stores. Some of our favourite eateries include MINE and IndiDog as well as Verdant Seafood Bar and Bodega. Falmouth is a colourful town with lots to offer!
There is so much to explore in the local area. A ferry from the nearby harbour takes you over to the stunning St Mawes, which is well-known for its superb foodie ties and historic castle. Keep an eye out for dolphins too, who are known to make their appearance alongside the boats! The coastline between Flushing and Restronguet Passage is a real local's secret, with the stunning Carrick Roads and Restronguet Creek. One of the best walks is from Mylor Bridge, following the coast path to the Pandora Inn - it's one of the prettiest spots for a beer this side of the Tamar. The historic thatched pub sits on the river, with a big jetty filled with picnic tables and a view of people paddling and crabbing in the water.
A short drive from Falmouth is the lesser-known Trebah Gardens, a tropical paradise tucked away against a coastal backdrop. The beautiful 26 acre Cornish valley garden has over four miles of footpaths where you can explore canopies bursting with exotic blooms and vibrant tunnels of colour. Finish your day with a stop off at the fantastic Ferry Boat Inn, which overlooks the Helford Passage and offers superb seafood. Or make a stop at Polgwidden Cove – the private and secluded beach, which backs onto the Helford River.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Cornwall, we would usually advise bringing a car for your stay. However, as the apartment is located in central Famouth it benefits from great travel connections. Trains run into the centre of town which are available all the way from London Paddington. There is also a good bus network to connect you with the wider area, as well as ample taxis.
Other Things to Note:
We kindly ask that noise levels, including TV and music, are kept to a minimum after 10pm to ensure consideration for our neighbours. Thank you!
