Great apartment. Such a good location. Overlooks the beach and gardens. 2 min walk takes you to the sea and to the local Co-op, which is open till 11pm and well stocked. If you didn’t have a car and were fit enough to walk up the steep hills to town (20 mins), you wouldn’t need to go anywhere else while on holiday. Apartment is spacious and well equipped. Beach gear and chairs available, though we had brought our own. There’s a lovely balcony to see the sea without leaving home. The nearby cafe/ bar / restaurant is great. Also two coffee vans for excellent coffees and milkshakes.Lovely local cinema, history tours with Falmouth uncovered, and great independent shops to browse. We also went to alternative beaches with better waves for body boarding. Lots to choose from if you have a car though station was close by and could have done that.
