Penrose Cottage

Penrose Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage in the fishing village of Mylor, near Falmouth. It sleeps 4 in one king-size room, which converts to twins on request at booking, and one twin room. A single bathroom serves the group.

The lounge leads into a conservatory, and patio doors open onto a private enclosed garden. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and parking for two cars are included, and one dog is welcome.

Mylor Yacht Harbour is a 1.5-mile walk along the creek, within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Village pubs, shops and places to eat sit nearby, and walks continue towards the River Fal; Trelissick is about 8 miles away. Castle Beach is 2.9 miles away, Gyllyngvase Beach is 3 miles and Swanpool Beach is 3.3 miles. The Mylor Bridge guide covers the village and its yacht harbour at Mylor Churchtown.

The flexible king-size room means the cottage suits a family or two couples equally well. Falmouth itself, built around the third-deepest natural harbour in the world, has the National Maritime Museum Cornwall on its waterfront for a longer day out.

**Best for:** guests wanting creek walks, an enclosed garden and parking near Falmouth. **Less good for:** groups needing two bathrooms, travellers with more than one dog or anyone wanting a beach immediately outside the property.
