The Captain's House is a wonderfully located and spacious Grade II listed property overlooking Falmouth harbour. The house was built in 1832 and has many superbly preserved period features. It offers plenty of space for family and friends to relax and enjoy time in Falmouth; with two living rooms, a large dining room and kitchen on the ground floor plus a garden room leading out to a private terraced garden at the back of the house. Upstairs four bedrooms set around a large hall offer sleeping for eight. There is secure garaging for two cars and an electric car charger for overnight charging. Guests can leave their car in the secure parking and enjoy walking to all that Falmouth has to offer.

Resting on the crest above Customs House Quay, the Captain's House is only a five minute walk to the famous Maritime Museum, shops, restaurants, pubs, art galleries and harbour cruises. Then only 10 minutes walk to the sandy Gyllyngvase Beach and 15 minutes walk to Pendennis Head.
The private garden has a BBQ and garden chairs for quiet enjoyment.

    I had a fantastic holiday staying in this wonderful large house. Plenty of room for all of us. Stayed there with my husband and daughter son in Law and Grandchildren. You could see the harbour from the front bedrooms. Although a hilly walk back from the town it only took 5 minutes to get to the house. Very close to beach restaurants and pubs. Could walk to everything. The house had a garage which could fit 2 cars which was a huge bonus as not a lot of places in Falmouth have car parking. The owner messaged us to say the house was ready earlier than expected on arrival day which was great.Kitchen had plenty of equipment with a huge dining room off it.We would stay here again.

    Captains House was exactly what we needed. Big enough for family members to have their own space to relax in while still being a family home. The location was ideal for easy access to the town and waterfront but also to feel a bit more ‘local’ and be able to go to neighbourhood pubs, jog routes off the main thoroughfare and not be overwhelmed with noise and people.

    Very nice house, spacious rooms and very convenient location. Very disappointing fridge/freezer - it is old, badly in need of a defrost and inadequate for the size of the house. The dishwasher wasn't properly fitted and could easily tilt forward with any weight on the open door. The shower hose leaks badly and needs replacing. Also, only 2 dishwasher tablets left and no black plastic bags left, even though there is a request to place bed linen and towels in black bags. For a £300 service charge that's poor. Other than those things it's a comfortable and convenient house for a holiday. We'd stay again if the faults were fixed.

    Captain's House is a striking property which offers spacious accommodation for 8 people. It is very comfortable and in a great location. We would definitely recommend it for large groups who are looking for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of the country.

    We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. A stones throw from the centre of Falmouth full of lovely shops, pubs and restaurants and within easy reach of the lovely local beaches and harbour excursions. All within walking distance. As a family of eight we were incredibly comfortable in the well equipped and spacious home. A really super find, we will definitely return!!

    This is a beautiful house in a fantastic location. The property was immaculate, very spacious and has great views. Having a parking space is a real bonus. This was our first visit to Falmouth and we loved it. We would certainly recommend this home to others.
