For a beautiful view of the town, climb the 111 steps up ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, or spend a relaxed afternoon browsing the many art galleries in the town. Shop 500 yards, pub 100 yards.
Excellent holiday property in perfect location. Toilet seat should have been fixed in small bathroom. Better details for rubbish would have helped, not sure where to put it. A brush would be nice to keep the floors clean. The lounge seating is a bit old and tired, very low and hard to get up from. Having said all above we had a superb holiday.
Friendly welcome, well equipped with fabulous views. Would definately go again. Highly recommend.
A beautiful, open plan, single storey property with stunning views across Falmouth harbour. The climb up and down to the main shopping area was worth the effort for the view. Plenty to do, including using a mussel card to travel on the many ferries that ply the river, the buses and local trains.
Beautiful home with lovely touches and a stunning view. Ideally placed for the town and a short drive away from the beaches which the children loved. All the family had a great week.
Had a lovely Family holiday. Would definitely come back and perhaps extend to 2 weeks. Only thing that would have made it perfect was a sun lounger. When we first arrived we were slightly confused where the house was having found the car parking but it didn't take long to locate it.
Fantastic house in a perfect location. The bungalow is spacious and is quiet but still located a couple of minutes from town. Great restaurants and general amenities right on your door step.
Views across the harbour were stunning, accommodation was modern, spacious and very comfortable.
We enjoyed perfect weather in a stunning location. Cannot fault a thing
Our stay November, 2019
Beautiful place even on a very rainy day!
