Harbour Steps

A one-bedroom cottage in central Falmouth, sleeping 2 in a double bedroom with a bathroom, sitting room, and dining area finished in a nautical theme. The town's harbour, independent shops, and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Falmouth has the third-deepest natural harbour in the world - the Carrick Roads estuary runs deep inland and is the base for sailing, kayaking, and boat trips.

The cottage has one bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Parking is available nearby - a significant advantage in a town centre where spaces are scarce in high season. No WiFi is listed in the amenities. Prices start from £757 per week.

Castle Beach and Gyllyngvase Beach are both 900 metres away on the south-facing seafront. Swanpool Beach is 0.9 miles. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall is a five-minute walk from the town centre, and the King Harry Ferry across the Fal River gives access to the Roseland without doubling back through Truro.

Best for couples exploring Falmouth town and the south Cornwall coast on foot, using the cottage as a central base. Less good for anyone who needs WiFi or a quiet rural setting - this is a town-centre property with the noise that comes with it.
