La Mouette

La Mouette is a three-bedroom house in Falmouth with views across the Fal estuary, sleeping 6 across two bathrooms. The property sits within walking distance of the town centre while staying set back enough to keep the garden quiet during summer afternoons.

Inside, the large sitting room has comfy sofas and patio doors leading to the terrace. A separate dining room and a well-equipped kitchen handle family meals, and three light bedrooms run across the upper floors including an en-suite master. The layout works for families who want to spread out rather than share every space.

Outside, a sunny patio overlooks the harbour and estuary, with a table for alfresco dining and watching the boats. The sunny garden and terrace add further outdoor space. On-site parking is included - a genuine advantage in central Falmouth. Gyllyngvase Beach sits roughly 1.6 km along the seafront, with Castle Beach at 1.8 km and Swanpool Beach 2 km on the other side.

Falmouth has been a working port for centuries. The National Maritime Museum sits on the quayside, and the 16th-century Pendennis Castle overlooks the estuary. Trebah Garden is a short drive along the Helford. A year-round passenger ferry runs across to St Mawes on the Roseland, and scenic walks line the Fal estuary for guests looking to stretch their legs.
