Dragonflies & Seahorses

Dragonflies & Seahorses is a 3-bedroom cottage in the Goldenbank area of Falmouth, sleeping 6 with 1 bathroom. The garden has a BBQ, and off-road parking, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included. No pets allowed. Changeover is on Friday.

Swanpool Beach is 500m from the cottage - a sheltered south-facing cove backed by a freshwater lagoon and nature reserve, calm enough for paddleboarding and popular with families. Gyllyngvase Beach, Falmouth's main town beach with a cafe and watersports hire, is 0.7 miles away. Maenporth Beach, quieter and with a dedicated car park, is 1.1 miles to the south-west.

This part of Falmouth is residential and quiet, within walking distance of three beaches but without the bustle of the town centre. Falmouth town is about 1.2 miles away by road, with the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, independent restaurant strip along Arwenack Street, and the Events Square. The town centre is also served by the Fal River ferry network in summer.

Suits families or groups of 6 who want walking access to multiple beaches without paying for a sea-view premium. The BBQ and garden suit summer stays. Less good for pet owners or those needing more than 1 bathroom.
