Rexis Cottage

Rexis Cottage is a 2-bedroom cottage in central Falmouth, sleeping 2 with off-road parking. The town centre location means the harbour, high street, and beaches are all within walking distance without needing a car for most of the week.

Gyllyngvase Beach is 1.1km south - the main town beach with a cafe, toilets, and lifeguard cover during peak season. Castle Beach is 1.4km away and tends to be quieter, tucked below Pendennis Castle. Swanpool Beach and Maenporth are a short drive further along the coast for calmer swimming.

The National Maritime Museum Cornwall sits on the harbourfront and covers Cornish seafaring history across multiple galleries. Falmouth's independent restaurant scene is notably concentrated for a town of this size - the high street and the harbour area have a solid range of options for evenings out.

The Fal River ferry runs from the Prince of Wales Pier to St Mawes in summer, and a longer river ferry reaches Truro. Both are worth taking for a day out. Starting price from £528 per week. Changeover is Saturday.

Rexis is best for a couple wanting a walking-distance town base with good transport links. Falmouth has a university presence which gives it a younger, more active independent scene than many Cornish towns of similar size. The Daphne du Maurier Festival, Jazz Festival, and Oyster Festival all draw visitors to the town at different points in the year.

Less suited to families or guests who need a garden or more than 2 bedrooms. No dogs.
