The Spinnaker

The Spinnaker is a beautifully appointed apartment in the very centre of Falmouth boasting superb views over the water and to the neighbouring villages. With modern fixtures and stylish furnishings, this property has everything needed for a relaxing break away from normal life. Within steps of the front door, is the wonderful array of shops, boutiques, pubs and restaurants that Falmouth has to offer and with fantastic transport links providing plenty of destinations to explore, guests will never be stuck for something to do.

Once inside the apartment, the bright, neutral interior is a warm welcome and the large open plan living, dining and kitchen area makes the most of those stunning water views. A large window frames the picturesque views which can be enjoyed from the comfortable sofa as well as the table and stools positioned directly in front of it. With an ever changing view of the boats coming and going from the pier, guests will enjoy soaking up this view as a dramatic backdrop whilst enjoying a delicious meal with a loved one. Or simply ending the night with a warming night cap, looking out over the distant lights reflecting on the water below. On cooler evenings, when a cosy night in is on the cards, the large flat screen TV provides guests with the option of curling up on the sofa in front of their favourite movie or TV show. This room is incredibly relaxing and peaceful and a real retreat for guests to come and enjoy some quality time together.

The kitchen area is located directly behind the main living space and is fitted with contemporary gloss white light units and a dark granite effect worktop. Guests will have no trouble finding everything they need to enjoy their break away including an electric oven and hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. With an abundance of fresh, local produce right on the doorstep, guests could be tempted to gather some ingredients and have fun experimenting with them, enjoying a bottle of wine and relaxing as the evening slowly draws to a close.

The bedroom is positioned to the rear of the apartment and here, the king size bed promises guests a truly restful nights sleep. Warm neutral tones and subtle hints of red provide a cosy and welcoming atmosphere and guests will find plenty of storage for their belongings in the solid wood wardrobe and drawers. There are twin bedside tables each with a lamp, so guests could create a dim, cosy room to escape to with a good book at the end of a long day.

Adjacent to the bedroom is the spacious bathroom complete with bath and overhead shower. With floor to ceiling sandstone tiles, this room has plenty of texture and warmth and the bright white suite is modern and clean. Guests could be tempted to spend some time alone, soaking in the hot water and relaxing or enjoy a refreshing morning shower before the day ahead. There is also a WC and hand basin and a mirror with integrated lighting is an ideal spot for some pampering before heading out the door.

Falmouth is steeped in history and guests can find out more about its fishing trade and docks at the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle. A stunning coastal walk from the property provides route to the picturesque Gyllyngvase beach where a variety of water sport activities are available to hire including surf boards, paddle boards and kayaks. Gyllyngvase cafe is also a famously good place to enjoy a relaxing lunch or evening meal whilst soaking in the wonderful sea views. There is a healthy selection of cafe’s, galleries and boutique shops offering guests a slow and easy stroll through the town centre enjoying pastries at breakfast, pasties at lunch and pretty much any cuisine for dinner! Falmouth also has brilliant transport access to the neighbouring fishing villages of St Mawes and Flushing, where quiet streets are lined with pretty pastel houses. Guests can also catch a twenty minute train ride to the county’s capital city of Truro where a selection of high street shops and bars are ready for exploring.

The Spinnaker is located on the second floor and is accessed via a staircase. This does mean that unfortunately, this apartment is not suitable for those with restricted mobility.

The apartment is located in the town centre, so some background noise will inevitably be audible at times. The location is however extremely convenient – it couldn’t be easy to nip out for a bottle of wine, some pastries, or any other holiday essentials!

The Spinnaker is a stunning, spacious apartment providing guests with a delightful retreat for a fabulous Cornish getaway.
