Holiday home in Falmouth (4.5mls NW), Cornwall

Accommodation details

Nestled in a quiet location yet only 2 miles from the waterside town of Penryn, this charming property promises an exceptional escape to guests. Spacious and inviting, this fantastic stone cottage is an opportunity to embrace a slower pace of life and enjoy exploring this corner of the South West. Go sailing on the Seaquest of Falmouth with Orca Sea Safaris (4 miles) or visit the seals at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (9.5 miles). Whether you’re off down the footpaths direct from the property or you’re soaking up the scenery on the terrace with your favourite tipple, it won’t take you long to find a way to relax here.

Stunning vaulted ceilings and exposed beams in the open-plan living area make it feel light and airy and there are lots of little coastal features dotted throughout the bedrooms. Draw the curtains in the evening and light the wood burner in the lounge area to create a cosy haven, or sizzle up a BBQ outside in the summer months. Fans of the BBC’s Poldark must visit the Tin Mine and Rural Open Air Museum (9.5 miles) that was used to film the underground scenes.

Learn more about Cornwall’s mining history at Cornwall Gold and Tolgus Tin Mill (8.5 miles) where children can see how tin ore is smelted or pan for gold and other treasures. Sample the produce at Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm (12.5 miles) or the homemade ice cream at Dairyland Farm Park (17.5 miles).
