Summary

White Sails is a brilliant, split-level holiday home, built into the bank of Falmouth that lines the harbour. You get the best of both worlds: the close proximity to the town centre and yet the peace and tranquility of a waterside property. Occupying an elevated position, the views from this wonderful holiday home are far and wide – taking in all the boating activity in the harbour, across to the pretty village of Flushing, the Maritime Museum and shipyard.

Comfortably furnished and well equipped, White Sails is a great base for a self-catering holiday in Cornwall. Small ferries leave frequently from the quays nearby for sightseeing trips to Flushing, St Mawes and its castle and the famous Helford River with Daphne du Maurier’s Frenchman’s Creek.

Falmouth has an array of individual and unique boutiques, fine restaurants and traditional waterside Cornish pubs. Walk down the steps from White Sails and you are right on Falmouth’s Old High Street. Be sure to book in to eat at least one night at the wonderful Star & Garter pub. We also recommend a roast in The Boathouse just a little further up the hill. Both have harbour views to take your breath away, but then you’ll have those at White Sails too, so dining on the balcony could be just as relaxing.

Great location, fabulous views and car parking. Brilliant. We were pleasantly surprised by White Sails, we were expecting a traditional apartment with people above and/or below us. Instead it is a terraced situation built into the hillside, so more like a house than a flat. White Sails is very well equipped and we really enjoyed our week there. It was great having access through the stairs straight onto the high street. It's only a few minutes from the pier where you catch the ferries, so perfect for getting around without the car. The only thing that wasn't comfortable for us - and we do realise beds are a very personal preference - was the mattress on the king-sized bed. We found it very soft and both had aching backs.

Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review of White Sails! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience during your stay and that you found the location, views, and car parking to be brilliant. Your description of White Sails as a terraced situation built into the hillside is much appreciated, as it provides valuable insight for future guests. We aim to create a unique and comfortable environment, and we're delighted to know that you enjoyed the well-equipped space and easy access to the high street and pier. We're sorry to hear that the king-sized bed's mattress didn't meet your personal comfort preferences. We understand that mattress firmness can be a subjective matter, and we will certainly take your feedback into consideration for any future improvements. It was a pleasure having you as our guests, and we hope to welcome you back to White Sails in the future. Sending very best wishes from the whole team at Cornish Holiday Cottages.

The building has vehicle access on road/ground level to the front (from the High Street into a secure car park) and White Sails has its own allocated space on the next level up. Half a dozen steps up and you are out in the fresh air again in the courtyard and at the entrance to White Sails. There are also two pedestrian entrances, one leading from the High Street (up flights of steps) and the other from Harbour Terrace which runs behind and parallel to the High Street, where access is made via a gate and some steps down into the attractive courtyard area.

Nursery equipment: cot & highchair available. Please advise a week before arrival if you would like the use of these items.
