Buzzard's Rest
Buzzard’s Rest provides comfortable, cosy accommodation in a quiet Falmouth Street. It is conveniently situated with ample parking. A spacious balcony with pleasing open views provides access to the property and is a lovely space to sit and watch the sun go down behind the hill, or if you are lucky, to watch our resident buzzard circling in search of a meal! The keys will be left in a key safe for easy entry.
Entry is into an open plan living room and kitchen area with a breakfast bar. The well equipped kitchen has an under counter oven and hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee maker. A dishwasher and washing machine are also included. The living room has a comfortable sofa bed (please request bedding from the owner), and a small dining table with chairs. An HD TV with freeview and a DVD player are provided. Broadband internet (upto 100 Mbs) is available throughout the property.
A spiral staircase leads downstairs to a spacious, comfortable, bright and airy bedroom with plenty of drawers and hanging space. The bathroom has a walk in shower. There is also a fire exit in case of emergency.
Buzzard’s Rest is conveniently located on a quiet street. A 20 minute walk through a nature reserve alongside a babbling brook will take you to pretty Swanpool Beach with a cafe and restaurant. A further 10 minute stroll along the coast path will bring you to Gyllyngvase Beach which is slightly larger and again has a cafe and a restaurant. Both beaches provide water sport hire, including paddle boards and kayaks. The coast path can be followed in both directions for either a gentle meander or a much more energetic walk.
A 15 to 20 minute walk from Buzzard’s Rest in the opposite direction will take you directly into the historical maritime sailing port of Falmouth with its numerous pubs, restaurants, cafes, and independent shops lining the vibrant cobbled high street.
Walks abound for the energetic, along the coast path and around the Fal River Estuary. There are numerous beautiful gardens in the close vicinity, some belonging to the National Trust and some privately owned. Pendennis Castle is perched on the headland and provides splendid views across to the opposite headland of St Anthony’s Head or across Falmouth Bay to the Helford River Estuary. The ferry gives easy access to its sister castle across the Carrick Roads at St Mawes.
There is an excellent taxi and bus service around the town for those not wanting to walk and there are plenty of car parks in town. Penmere Station is less than a 5 minute walk away and is very convenient for catching a train into Truro or else further afield to Penzance, Exeter and Paddington, London.
Falmouth has a calendar of ongoing events throughout the year and is a wonderful destination for a visit as well as providing a convenient base for exploring the southern part of Cornwall.
The owners live next door and are normally available to give advice or assistance.
Please note that this property is not wheelchair friendly.
