For the keen walker, the coastal path is only a mile away starting at Maenpoth or Swanpool, enjoy the scenic views. North Helford and Falmouth are perhaps the quintessential Cornish visitor destinations; a mix of beach, creek and woodland serve some of our most interesting and historic villages and towns. Falmouth itself is home to the National Maritime Museum, visitors will enjoy an amble through the narrow streets and possibly a boat trip across the River Fal or up the river towards Truro.

Compass Point makes a great base for discovering this part of Cornwall.

Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbourside pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry viii, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes).

    It was clean, warm and cosy, and had everything you could possibly need. It also had excellent internet which many certainly don't, this was important for me as I needed to be in easy contact with disabled relatives. I would definitely choose this cottage again on future stays.

  • Richard

    Compass Point has clearly benefited from a recent refurbishment and we were very pleased with the facilities, cleanliness and general appearance. Special mention should also go to the new managers of the site bar and restaurant. They've transformed it into a lovely place to spend an evening.

  • Thomas

    The house had everything we needed and more. The gardens are stunning! We will definitely stay again in the future.
