The Anchorage - Falmouth
Falmouth
Previous
Next
The Anchorage is a beautiful, traditional cottage in a quiet street with exceptional harbour views, but still only moments from the bustle of Falmouth's award winning old high street. It offers luxurious accommodation with stylish furnishings and a chic, modern kitchen. A glorious bolthole in which to truly kick back and relax after a busy day exploring. The contemporary interior complements the traditional cottage wonderfully, creating a tranquil ambience so you can really get away from it all.
The outdoor areas are perfect spaces to relax with a coffee and a good book before starting your day's adventures. The Anchorage is hard to leave but if you can tear yourself away, Falmouth is just a short walk away with an exciting mix of shops and restaurants to enjoy. The nearby pier provides boat trips out to sea or along the River Fal or the Helford Passage. The Anchorage is the ideal base from which to pack a picnic and spend the day at one of Falmouth's stunning beaches just relaxing or perhaps hiring a paddleboard or kayak. There are often local festivals to join in with, such as the famous sea shanty festival, or the popular oyster festival for a unique Falmouth experience.

Lovely house and great break. Really like Falmouth
Mr Roughley Feb 2020
Fabulous property with sea views. Bright, airy and well appointed. Quiet location but literally a 5 minute walk to the centre of Falmouth. Parking is not guaranteed, however we did manage to park outside most of the time or spaces could be found in nearby streets. Would highly recommend and would stay again.
