We absolutely love this apartment. Its perfect for us. The rooms are immaculately clean, cosy and well kept. The facilities cover any emergent task. The prep and welcome from Nick and Becca (Aspect Holidays), goes above and beyond even if there is a problem it is resolved without reticence. The owner is most accommodating and flexible. We book up in advance every year...

The Beacon was perfect for our visit to Falmouth. The flat is beautifully furnished and the balcony view was amazing every day. The 50 or so steps were fine and kept us fit. It’s easy to explore the north and south coast and Falmouth has lots to offer. But best of all it was great to catch up with our daughter who’s at University there. We now understand why she loves the area so much.

What was good. View was as expected. Always changing. The flat was clean and had everything you need. It wasn’t far from the ferry and many excellent restaurants within walking distance. The cream tea waiting for us on arrival was a nice touch.

What was bad. The noise. At the back. The nearby Boathouse pub was incredibly noisy EVERY night of the week and the clientele seemed to enjoy communicating by shouting only. The road was always busy with vehicles many of which seemed to have exhaust issues. The front. When it was hot and the windows open, the building seemed to act as a parabolic sound capture device so every sound came into the room. This was mostly banging from the docks and diesel generators etc but also the constant whine of many small boat engines. It’s a harbour so you would expect boat engines but the sound of them all as soon as the sun came up was focused on us it appeared. When windy the boats made a noise like 30 children standing outside banging sticks on saucepans.

Also I didn’t think to check the direction the balcony faced. About 060 deg NE. So the sun was not on the balcony after about mid day and was behind the roof….so no afternoon relaxing in the sun to look at the view which was a shame.

Lastly the noise from below. This is not the fault of Aspects but we happened to have some people below the flat that were shouting swearing and literally fighting all night. So much so that by 4am I called the police who did sort them out.

This was our families second visit to The Beacon and we have already booked The Beacon for 2024 so what more is there to say! Many thanks to the Aspects Team.

Fabulous views and accommodation spacious. It was lovely that a member of my family stayed in one of your apartments Walsingham below which was so lovely. It was good to have secure parking opposite The Beacon, and the scones and milk were a lovely treat to receive on our arrival. We saw the tall ships and perfect views from the large balcony.

Very comfortable apartment with stunning views. The location is perfect and although the hill is a tad steep, it very much helped with working off those extra calories gained from dining in the excellent Stones Bakery which is practically on the doorstep.

The Beacon is the best way to enjoy everything Falmouth has to offer. Great views and on walking distance from everything the center has to offer. It is spacious (although low ceilings) enough and nicely private.

Spectacular views from the property, was a well laid out apartment in a good place for exploring all Falmouth has to offer. Well equipped kitchen. Loads of hanging space in every bedroom Bonus having two parking spaces, even if they are a little tight to manoeuvre in to. Would book again if I'm in the area.

Overall great accommodation, in a perfect world the balcony could do with being a little larger with better seating, the seagulls were very noisy and hungry and left their mark!!!! However we were at the sea side so what can we complain about We were there for the sea shanty festival which was great, ideal accommodation for the location.

We enjoyed staying at the Beacon so much our car remained in the car park for the whole week. Some visitors maybe concerned about getting to the apartment but the lift gets you to within I think 9 steps of the balcony level. A short walk down the high street gets you to the Prince of Wales Pier where we caught the ferry to St Mawes where we enjoyed a very nice meal at the St Mawes hotel. The Princess Pavilion & Gyllygdun Gardens and the beach cafe/restaurant at Gyllyngvase Beach offers superb meals for those who may like a little further walk across town. All in all we really enjoyed the holiday in this apartment.

Very spacious apartment with excellent views & a fantastic balcony. No need to cook as there are plenty of eateries in Falmouth & always pasties available! Also there were scones, jam & cream, plus milk, tea & coffee to welcome us, a lovely & thoughtful touch, very much appreciated. Another plus was a lift which enabled us to transport our luggage up to the apartment, this made it so much easier taking things up & down. We had a lovely sunny week & would definitely return to The Beacon.

Wonderful apartment with stunning views across the estuary… access not so good if you’re elderly or have mobility problems. Although there is a lift but still some stairs. Did hear the noise from the pub across the road & boy racers revving quite late…. Always book with aspects as always brilliant customer service.

Overall, a lovely week spent at the beacon, fantastic views with great sunrises. Clean and tidy, and well equipped. Would definitely book again and recommend a stay for friends

Great winter getaway, unloading the car was easy and parking opposite the property was a breeze. There is a lift to the property so guests with mobility issues who love a view this could be the place. The view is stunning. Good location close to shops, pubs and restaurants. Another Aspects gem.

We stayed at The Beacon for one week during October 2022. Everything went smoothly from our initial enquiry right to the end of our holiday. The booking process was straightforward and the Aspects staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The guidance regarding our arrival (including directions) was detailed and accurate.

The Beacon is a lovely, spacious apartment with absolutely wonderful views. The floor to ceiling windows in the hall, lounge and master bedroom (and one of the other bedrooms) meant the view could be enjoyed whichever room we were in and enhanced the feeling of space.

The apartment was clean and well- equipped. The kitchen offered everything we needed. Lovely thought to leave enough tea, coffee, sugar and milk along with scones, cream and jam to welcome guests.

The lounge/diner is large, as is the master bedroom. The other bedrooms are decent sizes, too. The ‘built in’ wardrobes in each bedroom offer plenty of storage space.

The secure, private parking is conveniently located just across the street. The Beacon has two allocated spaces. However, it may not be easy to manoeuvre two large cars into/ out of them due to where the spaces are situated.

We would certainly stay at The Beacon again and we would definitely book another holiday through Aspects.

Wonderful view, great location. Would definitely stop there again.

The Beacon at Falmouth is situated in a superb position with a stunning view over the confluence of the Fal and Penryn rivers. Although it can accommodate six would say it is good for two to four people. The apartment was clean and comfortable with adequate equipment but could do with some attention to detail and more thought given from the visitors perspective. There were some minor issues to which the agency Aspects Holidays, who have an office close by, responded well - we thought they were, without exception, excellent. Reasonable value for money and overall would recommend a stay at this property. Paul & Elizabeth, September 2022.

We had a great time in Falmouth and The Beacon was a great place to stay with everything close by with excellent restaurants and pubs. Of course the sunshine meant we could enjoy the beaches close by. We were so impressed with The Beacon and have booked it for next summer. Thanks to Aspects Holidays and their staff Thanks to the housekeeper (I think his name was Pious), My husband briefly met for making the accommodation nice and clean Much appreciated.

We had a fantastic stay at The Beacon. The location is great and the views amazing. Aspect holidays were very helpful when we had a few small queries. We are a family of 4 (2 children under 8) and this felt like the perfect size property. Would 100% recommend the property.

As other guests have said some of the apartment does need some updating. Saying that the view is excellent, the position is very good and the fact that it has secure parking is a real bonus.

Lovely spacious apartment with fantastic views. Great to have secure underground parking. As noted in a previous review there are a lot of steps, but there is a lift to move bags up and down which helped.

The Beacon was an amazing stay, the view was unforgettable of the harbour that looked amazing rain or shine. The apartment had everything we could have needed and was spotless. Would definitely stay again

Fantastic views from the apartment and parking over the road a bonus. Apartment just needed a bit of attention

I booked 6 nights with Aspect Holidays in 2019. Then after a series of unforseen events mostly to do with the pandemic restrictions. Aspect holidays were so helpful and reassuring throughout the cancellations, postponements and even when the original owner sold the rental I had booked. Throughout all this time, the telephone staff were always friendly, polite and professional.

Aspect switched me over to a nicer property, the Beacon.

I was booked in with my daughter who was joining me a day later. On my own, I found the instructions for getting in after 4pm easy to follow. I parked the car in an understandably cramped designated space in the secure multi-storey car park. I then started to unpack… Those steps up three floors was enough to get the old man to use the small lift. Of course, that was completely forgotten by the the joyous quality of the apartment which is beautiful and complimented by the panoramic vistas of Falmouth harbour and inlets. The beds are very comfortable, the facilities are so clean and homely and the nicest touch is the welcome pack of cake, scones, cookies and prosecco.

Before we left for home, I had recommended two other families to Aspect. I have pre booked for next year and I recommend the insurance for peace of mind. Thank You, Jacquie, Nic, Becca and Sam.

You could book this apartment just for the views alone, but it is also in a fantastic location - close to all the amenities but quiet enough - and a comfortable base for exploring all Falmouth has to offer. Parking was a real bonus. We loved it. If you're planning a stay in Falmouth it would be hard to beat.

We found The Beacon welcoming and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for a very relaxing holiday. The location suited us. It is within easy walking distance of the town, harbour and seafront. The views from the property are superb. We are looking forward to a return visit.

The Beacon accommodation has everything you need. You will never get bored of the lovely view. The location is close to the town and is only a very short walk to all the amenities. You won't be let down if you were to stay here. It is up a short hill but don't be put off by that. And I must repeat how lovely the view is over the harbour. I really shouldn't be giving this such a good review as I will definitely be going again and know how the availability for this property is very limited because how lovely it is.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beacon. The apartment was very well equiped and very comfortable and warm. The views from the apartment were fantastic, we were sad to leave them behind. We would certainly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful holiday at The Beacon in October. Mesmerising view whether first thing in the morning as the sun came up over the dockyards or in the evening as the light faded. Lots of light and space and we were keen to get back in the afternoon to enjoy drinks on the balcony. Of course we had to visit Flushing and St Mawes after seeing the ferries go back and forth all day. Both lovely days out for walking and lunch at the Pandora Inn in Mylor Bridge. Great choice of restaurants, pubs and shops in Falmouth and so colourful with all the art students adding a Bohemian feel.

The Beacon is a fantastic apartment for estuary views and close proximity to the town centre. The layout gives a very spacious feel to the place and the kitchen is very well stocked.

Wonderful view from the lounge and balcony. Very comfortable main bedroom. Lovely apartment. The apartment is at one end of the high street, most of the restaurants are at the other end. It is about a 10 /15 minute walk to them which could be a problem for some people.

We are a family of 4 and all had a really lovely time. Aspect Holidays are always great and the flat was in the most fantastic location with gorgeous views from the panoramic windows and balcony. It was in very easy reach of the town and the pier from where there is a whole array of boat trips available. It was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We would definitely recommend this place and Aspect Holidays too.

Great location with spectacular views, however it does need some money spending on it

Great location in easy reach of all local amenities and superb views. Lovely apartment that was really well equipped and allowed us to have a lovely relaxing break.

Enjoy

Nice flat in a great location. Views from the balcony over the estuary and harbour are superb.

Sitting with glass in hand and watching the activity on the water below is mesmerising

brilliant views makes the perfect stay and in such a great location and the lift comes in handy too.would def go back again for sure and recommend to anyone really is a gem too stay in. Can not fault it and is well stocked with everything you need and more

Lovely week in The Beacon. Views are amazing, beds comfortable, kitchen amenities good, some of the apartment needs updating such as bathroom and shower.

The Beacon has a gorgeous view of Falmouth harbour, very suitable for a family or group of six. It has a good location with the benefit of off street parking. We climbed the stairs every day which was great for our fitness levels. The balcony runs the length of the property so I would recommend it for a family with older children. The kitchen was well stocked with the normal things you’d expect plus a washing machine and a dishwasher. Our family had a lovely holiday in Falmouth with its beaches, sea food and waterways.

We were extremely impressed with the property itself and the amazing view! It was in immaculate decorative order and the decoration and furnishings were of a high standard and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything that we needed. The lockable door to the balcony of the property was also comforting. We loved the position of the property in relation to the town. The large windows overlooking the harbour let in lots of light and so it was a real pleasure to just sit and watch the view and relax. We enjoyed our holiday very much, what a wonderful place to retreat to in these difficult times!
