You’re only a short walk away from Swanpool Beach and Gyllyngvase Beach; both beaches offer coffee and great ice-cream. Experience excellent restaurant food or a glass of wine in the evening at The Gylly Beach Café and Beach House Falmouth. Both beaches provide a variety of activities including kayak or paddle board hire allowing you to explore the calmer south-coast waters with picturesque coves. Gyllyngvase Beach (life-guarded during summer) runs a kiln sauna all year round. Maenporth Beach is also spectacular and can be reached by a beautiful coastal path route or by a 8-10 minute drive. Although the property is tucked away on quiet street you’re also only a short walk away from town (down Killigrew Street) where you’ll find cafes, bars, restaurants. Penmere station is also only a 2-3 minute walk, with links to Truro and London.
Situated in an area of outstanding beauty, is the south west coastal footpath for gentle strolls, or hikes for the more adventurous. You can access walks with the most breath-taking coastal scenery. The Falmouth Golf course and pitch & putt are also easily reached. The waterside town of Falmouth has a historic deep-water harbour, with prestigious marinas along with a host of restaurants, café, boutique shops and art galleries. Falmouth Art Gallery is one of the best in Cornwall. From the Prince of Wales Pier, you can take a boat trip along the River Fal, or Carrick Waters to a smuggler’s cottage, or hop on the ferry to St Mawes and visit the castle there. Within one of the many marinas in Falmouth, there are a number of sightseeing and wildlife watching or “Seafari” boat tours. Our favourite would be along the Helford River where you can book directly with Helford River Boats.
The Maritime Museum is great for children and adults alike with its hands-on approach. Pendennis Castle is an English Heritage ‘gem’. It has defended Cornwall since Tudor times, and you can enjoy the breath-taking views out to sea. The area has many beautiful sub-tropical gardens including Trebah, Glendurgan and Trelissick.
Truro, Cornwall’s capital city is only a short drive away. Padstow, St Ives, Looe, Polperro and Port Isaac are all within easy reach by car, as well as the world-famous Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
There are beautiful beaches on both the south and north coasts, fishing villages, coastal walks, cycling, fishing, golf, and a plethora of National Trust properties and grounds are all in reach from this delightful house. It really is the perfect location to explore this remarkable area, and the stunning county of Cornwall.

About the host
Hosted by Nick Battersby
We’re a young family based in Cornwall, and when I’m not renovating houses, you’ll usually find me in the sea. Open water swimming is a big part of life here — finding calm near Maenporth beach. I also make time for good coffee and getting out on the bike whenever I can. We love exploring the nooks and crannies of Cornwall as a family, we’re spoiled for the picturesque and tranquil.
Why they chose this property
We picked Falmouth because it’s got a great mix — lively without being hectic. It’s a student town, so there’s always something going on, but you can still find quiet corners when you need them. Being able to walk into town and down to the beach was a big draw for us. The south coast’s calmer waters are perfect for swimming and paddle boarding, and honestly, it makes beach days with the kids way easier. We’re only a few minutes from the north coast though so surfing is on the doorstep too.
What makes this property unique
Our home blends the best of both worlds: a peaceful spot just a short stroll from the town centre and some of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches and coastal paths. Originally built in the 1930s, it’s been thoughtfully renovated with a modern feel, while still holding on to the character and charm of its original features. There’s off-street parking, a fully integrated kitchen perfect for cooking up a storm, and rapid Wi-Fi to keep everything connected. One of our favourite things? Waking up to a glimpse of the sea right from bed — ever so relaxing (especially if someone brings you the tea!).
