Falmouth
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.
Enter the apartment through the patio doors at the front into the front room with 4 chairs and a built-in window seat.
A large room with two sofas, a large TV, and a dining table with chairs to seat 4.
A large space with oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.
With double bed, wardrobe, drawers and two bedside tables.
Walk in shower, WC, basin, heated towel rail and storage cupboard.
With 6ft super-king, zip and link bed (which will be made up as a super-king unless you request otherwise), wardrobe and two bedside tables with lamps.
With bath, WC and basin.
Lots of potted plants, table and chairs for 4.
There is parking in front of the apartment on a lower level, 16 fairly steep steps (with hand rail) from Coastguards. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Castle Beach is just two minutes on foot. Ten minutes on is the (Blue Flag), safe and sandy, Gyllyngvase Beach.
From your little spot right on the coast, a world of walking is available via the South West Coast path. On the doorstep of Coastguards are routes and paths around Pendennis point, through coastal woodland and alongside the castle walls of Pendennis Castle. A stroll around Pendennis point offers a perfect vantage point for the local area with spectacular views of the Roseland, St Mawes and Flushing.
Falmouth Docks train station is just 5 minutes walk away, where connections can be taken to Truro mainline station. Buses can be caught from the seafront to take you into town if you are not so fancy on your feet. From there buses and coaches can be caught to take you further afield. Falmouth offers good transport links and A roads to take you to the North coast or further along the South Coast. Truro is 20 minutes by car and St.Ives and the Eden Project at St Blazey are 40 minutes.

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.

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.

WOW!! From the moment we arrived and saw the view from the holiday apartment, we already didn't want to leave.

Our wonderful view of Falmouth Bay from the verandah. A beautiful room to sit and relax in and enjoy the panoramic views of the bay.
Sharon & Andy
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, Rachel.
