Seabien

Seabien is a 2-bedroom cottage in Falmouth on Penwerris Terrace, sleeping 4 guests across 2 bathrooms. A sloping driveway and a flight of steps lead down to the entrance, and a few more steps lead down to the two bedrooms. A patio garden, off-road parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. Wifi is available throughout. Changeover is on Fridays.

Falmouth's beaches are within a short drive or a longer walk from the property. Gyllyngvase Beach is 1.1 miles south - the longer of the two town beaches, with a seafront cafe and toilets. Castle Beach is the same distance, below Pendennis Castle on the headland. Swanpool is 1.3 miles and has a small freshwater lagoon beside the beach, known locally for its coots and swans. The coast path connects all three.

Falmouth town centre is within easy walking distance of the cottage. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall on the quayside is a half-mile away, and Discovery Quay has several restaurants looking out over the harbour. Pendennis Castle sits on the headland above Castle Beach, run by English Heritage with seasonal opening.

No children under 5 are accepted. Works for couples or small families with older children who prefer a residential neighbourhood over a beach-front setting. Less good for guests who want to walk to the beach directly from the door, or for anyone who cannot manage steps, as a flight of steps leads to the entrance and a few more to the bedrooms.
