Summary

Nautical and whimsical, Captain’s Retreat faces south-west over Falmouth harbour. The ever changing array of boat activity on the harbour, is best viewed from the balcony, with a drink in hand and some kalamata olives and pistachios to accompany. In the heart of Falmouth, a town rich with maritime heritage, and a working, world renowned boatyard, this second floor apartment, is just yards from the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. If boats are not your thing, then Falmouth offers an array of excellent eateries, interesting shops, galleries and heritage pubs where many a story has been shared around the bar.

Particulars

Adjacent to Falmouth Watersports centre is the ground floor entrance to Maritime House and access to the lift, or stairs. From the second floor, step out into the internal hallway and then the walkway, with large olive trees and open skies, to the front door to Captain’s Retreat.

Location and Surrounding Area

Captain’s Retreat is situated in the heights of the Martime House complex on Discovery Quay, with views onto the inner atrium and outer harbour, so is excellently appointed for all of Falmouth’s town facilities, and also offers a degree of quiet, if you exclude the morning cries of sea birds! No doubt you will enjoy watching the gig rowers setting off to train, small boat owners bimbling about, and the majestic sight of the working boats racing, on a Tuesday night in spring/summer, all from the comfort of your balcony.

 

 

If you are bringing your dog, then you will find that many establishments in Falmouth welcome pets, such as Indidog, the Chainlocker (ground floor and outside only), 45 Coffee House, Espressini, The Star and Garter and Sabzideli to name a few. Staying in a waterside apartment, you will like strolling around the harbour looking at all the boats whilst your dog enjoys the sniffs. For green space, follow the path adjacent to the trainline and reach the university and Fox Rosehill Gardens, or head to Pendennis Castle and loop round the castle for endless fun for your dog and brilliant sea views for you to enjoy
