Stunning sea views, a peaceful Scandinavian mid-century interior and wonderful south facing position. It is easy to see why Coastguards has such a following of regular visitors. The breath-taking views of Falmouth bay and the close proximity to Castle Beach make this the perfect coastal retreat.
Coastguards features a large verandah and outdoor seating on both sides of the accommodation for you to make space for yourself, to relax, read and contemplate the good things in life. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms making this the perfect retreat for two couples or a family. The beds in the second bedroom can be zipped together to form a super-king, 6 foot bed, or separated to form two full-size single beds.
The design conscious owners have carefully crafted this well equipped, yet minimalistic style abode for you to enjoy a Falmouth holiday home, which is yards from the beach and you are just moments away from warm, moonlit, evening strolls along the seafront. Falmouth town centre is a gentle ten-minute stroll away, where there are many great, independent restaurants serving fresh, local produce, so please be excused from not cooking on your holiday!
As you first approach the town centre you come to Discovery Quay, the Events Square and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Watch the activity on the harbour and the comings and goings of the sailors as they prep their yachts for global voyages and adventures on the high seas.
Castle Beach is short walk away and Gyllyngvase beach just a few minutes walk beyond. With all these opportunities for swimming and rock pooling be sure to remember your bathers, buckets and spades.

We've stayed at Coastguards several times. It's comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We love the wonderful view of the sea and proximity to Castle Beach.

Husband and I were delighted with Coastguards. Comfortable, well appointed, and with fabulous views, it was the perfect location for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. At the time of our visit, I was sadly unable to do as much walking as I’d hoped, however, I’m hoping to rectify this by returning in the not too distant future. With its easy access to the local beaches, and Falmouth town just a short stroll away, Coastguards is one of the nicest places we have stayed in.

Coastguard Cottage in Falmouth was exactly as advertised on the Cornish Cottages website. The accommodation was clean, bright and modern with all mod cons, including added extra of night sensor lights.
The view from the cottage was outstanding we sent most of our free time sitting in the sun lounge watching tankers, fishing and sail boats along with canoes and swimmers, make sure you take with you binoculars or telescope, although their is one pair in the accommodation as a party of four we needed more.
Cornish Cottages as the letting agent were very professional, friendly and helpful
in all aspects of our booking, I would go as far to say that they were the best we have ever dealt with.
We had several conversations with the owners Hilary and David who were most helpful in advising of best places to see and do around Falmouth and Cornwall.

We love Coastguards. It’s like our second home. The view of the sea from the large front window is spectacular and the comfy chairs are perfect for curling up with a good book. The apartment itself has everything you need, at a reasonable price and is within walking distance of beaches, boat trips and town.

As a former coastguard lookout station this property provides outstanding views, both out to sea and along the coast. At the same time it is ideally located within easy walking distance of the centre of Falmouth and the town's excellent beaches. The property was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated with Cornish artwork, and it enjoys all the facilities and modern conveniences you would expect. The generous provision of abundant of parking spaces right outside the accommodation was a big plus., and for those who don't wish to carry their luggage up steps, it is possible to drive to the door to unload. It was a delight to meet the owners of Coastguards, and those of the other adjacent properties, who were all equally warm and welcoming. I can honestly say this is the best self-catering accommodation my family has ever enjoyed. In every respect it was perfect!

Coastguards is in a fantastic location with stunning sea views and easy access to all amenities. The property was comfortable and very well equipped. There was a slight issue with the washbasin in the bathroom draining very slowly, but everything else worked well. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return to this property.

Daniyal, staying at Coastguards
The view from Coastguards was amazing. We sat down on the enclosed front porch, in some comfy chairs and took it all in. Stunning. From our lovely home, we could see Gyllyngvase Beach and all the happy people walking around. It was beautiful.

It's just a short walk to visit the castle, a sandy beach, rock pools, maritime museum, shops & restaurants.

Some photos of the wonderful views at different times of the day across the bay from our stay at Coastguards near Pendennis Point, July 2021. From the vibrant colours to the tropical plants, we truly felt as though we were abroad! Inspiring!
Thanks,
