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. 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 counteroven 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.

    Great place to stay! 30 min walk to sea front in Falmouth. Buzzard's Rest has off-street parking. Very easy to book and very sensibly priced. Very comfortable and clean accommodation ideally suited to 1or 2 people. Well-equipped kitchen and very friendly and helpful hosts. Falmouth is a lovely place with a great deal to do & see and with other interesting places to see nearby. Thoroughly recommend it without any hesitation whatsoever! We will return!

    A lovely find in Falmouth for a four night stay. Accommodation was clean with everything we needed and as described in the details and photos. Our hosts couldn’t do enough for us and were very welcoming. The gift package found on our arrival was also a lovely touch and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend staying here.

    Wonderful property, very well equipped. Although the overall space was small, it was so well-designed it was like the TARDIS. Bed was comfortable, wardrobe and set of drawers in bedroom, shower was strong with plenty of hot water. Kitchen and living areas were more than functional with good appliances including fridge with freezer. All in all a lovely place to stay

    Beautiful, light well-equipped property, with lovely little terrace overlooking the rugby pitch. Comfortable bed, and easy to operate and very comfortable sofa bed. Our host Diana could not have provided better communication and came to chat to us during our stay to update us about the Tall Ships Parade. Highly recommended.

    We had a lovely time staying at Buzzards Rest, Diana is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The welcome gifts were very much appreciated. The accomodation is perfect, comfortable and has everything you need for a lovely stay. It is in the perfect location for Falmouth town, roughly 15 minutes walk and in the opposite direction a lovely walk to Swanpool Nature reserve and beach, and the south west coast path with beautiful views. Falmouth has so much to see and do with plenty of nice bars and restaurants. Will definitely recommend Buzzards Rest to Family and Friends and hopefully return.

    It was a very lovely flat with everything there you need for a nice holiday. Including some books about hiking and other activities in Cornwall. The landlords were very helpful and also gave good tips about what to do. The flat was very clean. When we arrived we were happy to find tea, milk, coffee and biscuits in the flat
