Melvill House

Melvill House is a substantial six-bedroom townhouse at 52 Melvill Road in Falmouth, sleeping 13 guests across three floors. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, and the flexible room configuration - combining doubles and singles - makes it practical for large families or groups travelling together.

The house has Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, and an EV charging point, along with off-road parking. A BBQ and enclosed garden provide outdoor space for summer evenings. There is no washing machine listed, so check the merchant page for laundry arrangements on stays longer than a week.

Gyllyngvase Beach is 300 metres along Melvill Road - a flat five-minute walk along a level pavement. Castle Beach is 0.8 km east beneath Pendennis Castle, and Swanpool Beach is 1 km further along the coast. Falmouth's harbour, the National Maritime Museum, and the ferry to St Mawes are all within comfortable walking distance from the house.

Best for large families or mixed groups of up to 13 who need en-suite rooms and proximity to the beach without renting multiple properties. Rated four stars on Sykes with five reviews. Less good for those wanting a compact, low-cost base - this is a substantial Falmouth townhouse priced accordingly.
