Old Quayside House, Stunning Quayside Location.

The location of the house is on the water with beautiful harbor views. Large and inviting, it is right in the heart of the tourist area with easy access to shops and restaurants, as well as tour buses and ferries. The house was very clean when we arrived. There even was a welcome gift of cookies on the kitchen table. The space was bigger than I imagined. It covers three floors with four bedrooms and five bathrooms! There also is sink and shower in the smallest bedroom. Though the house seems to be older, it has been updated to modern standards in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, while maintaining its original charm. The weather was a little warmer than normal and we were able to get a cool cross-breeze with open windows. These windows also are a great sound block for any noise from the street, which was very little. The kitchen had all the appliances, dishes, pots and pans that we needed. There even is an apparently brand-new non-stick skillet that is the best I’ve ever used! There is ample refrigerator and freezer space. Perfect for a full house. The owners were very responsive to our inquiries before and during our visit. I highly recommend the Old Quay House for any visitors to Falmouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there!

We enjoyed our stay in Falmouth and the house was in an ideal location. Lots going on in this location and it can be a bit noisy in the evenings. If you want to be in the middle of town you have to expect some disturbance. The house faces a busy pub. Without wanting to be to picky, the house is in need of a deep clean. The housekeeper needs to up her gain as in certain areas it wasn’t great. We decided not to complain as we are not that type of guest but there is room for big improvement. The owners also need to carry out some basic maintenance as there is a quite a few issues in the house. I am not going to list all of these but the two that concerned us most was that all doors inside the house should be able to be shut closed especially in bathrooms and bedrooms for privacy. Furthermore removing thermostatic valves on radiators so that we were unable to turn them on or up is not great for your cold guests.We did experience cool wet weather in June and it would of been nice to tweak the heating a little as the house being an old building gets cold and we were unable to do so. I will mention that the gas fire in the lounge was wonderful and we used it on two evenings. We did not raise any complaints with the owners or receive any communication from them. A courtesy call or text to ensure we were comfortable would of been appreciated during our stay. With the issues we had we would not choose to stay at this particular property again, which is a great shame as we will be returning to the area in the autumn. I am sure other guests will enjoy this property especially in the warm summer months.

The property was as described and suited us perfectly. Clean, excellent location, in the middle of everything yet perfectly quiet. Would recommend to anyone. We'll be back.

Flat beautifully finished and appointed. Location was ideal. Views exciting. We will come back, with the family!

My family and I stayed at the Old Quay House for a week during a family holiday. It is a wonderful place to stay. The house is very spacious with great views over Falmouth Harbour especially from the large living room. Each bedroom has an ensuite which was a great touch. The location is perfect for exploring this lovely Cornish town within walking distance of all amenities including great restaurants and beaches. The hosts were wonderful with great communication beforehand including personalised directions and check-in information. They also provided a parking permit for our car so we could park next to the property which made exploring further afield so much easier. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. Highly recommended

We absolutely loved this property! The house is in a fantastic position firstly, lovely views, easy access to shops & pubs etc (it’s actually bang opposite a great pub find!) The house itself is great, very spacious - we particularly loved the living/dining/kitchen area. Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need - plus anything you might not have thought to have packed! The bedrooms were good also, slight moan with the bathrooms as there’s very little ventilation for 3 bathrooms on the top floor. Other than that beds are comfy, everything was fairly clean and we would most definitely love to return here! Fantastic communication from the owners (even though they weren’t in the UK!) Thank you :)

Excellent location and very well equipped. Excellent communication with Kevin at all times. Highly recommended.

A comfortable, clean and well equipped property. Communication from the owners was excellent.

Location perfect, unfortunately the property is not as described and the landlord does not respond to correspondence. Beware! It is suffering from long term neglect. Only one shower is fully functional (out of 4), just two working televisions (out of 4). The dishwasher was not working on our arrival and following an immediate phone call to the caretaker it was repaired on the fourth day of our stay. There was an overpowering stench of dog’s urine in the ground floor bedroom. There are serious safety issues – loose carpet on the stairs, in the ground floor ensuite there is one spotlight not working and another over the toilet hanging out of its housing. The tumble dryer filter was compacted with lint and the condenser full to the brim. This list is not exhaustive but we have made all of our concerns known to the owner. Our immediate concerns were brought to the attention of the owner via email within twenty hours of our arrival. We received a response thirty hours later claiming he was on holiday in a remote desert region without reliable internet connection. He stated ‘It isn’t acceptable’ and ‘the caretaker should be able to take care of all’. He also suggested that the smell was related to storm/tide drainage, however the smell was from within the room not outside and a neighbour confirmed there were no such issues in the area. The owner also advised us he would write properly to us as soon as he was able. Needless to say we heard nothing more from the caretaker or owner for the remainder of our stay. After arriving home we sent a further email requesting compensation as we would not have been attracted to or booked this property if it had been correctly advertised. The property does not command the rental asked as so many of the basic facilities were unavailable. We gave him five working days to respond and seven working days later we are still waiting. The owner lives abroad and is happy to take your money and bluff his way through any complaints he receives. He has a total lack of respect for his guests and displays no responsibility as an owner.

Had a great long weekend. House very well placed in Falmouth so we could enjoy the quay side and all the great amenities on offer. House very light and with great views and very well equiped.
