Mariner's Chart
About the home
This maisonette thinks it's the whole house - it feels like it! Spacious and well managed , it is light and airy and well equipped down to the 50" plasma television. And there's a self contained annexe for four persons extra if you really need it.
Mariner's Chart was built in 1910 when the garden led down to the seafront and glorious Gyllyngvase Beach.Now just one road back, it has excellent views to enjoy.
You really can leave the car in the drive - you won't need it - everything from high quality beach front hotel bars to harbour inns and restaurants (Rick Stein too!)are close to hand. The children can kayak, pitch and put, bounce on the bouncy castle at family modest Swanpool Beach with it's own Nature Reserve.
Falmouth enjoys a micro climate and hence supports wonderful and exotic Palms and plants.

The West Country / Cornwall region


This is the one of the most romantic, beautiful and historic areas of the British Isles. The micro climate is unique and hosts tropical flora and fauna; there are Listed Gardens in abundance and clifftop and rural walks to take the breath away! There are beaches to suit everyone whether you enjoy surfing, kayaking, wining and dining in excellent beach side gourmet bars, bar-be-ques on the beach or simply searching amongst the rockpools or sunning on the sands.....and there are several summer dog-friendly beaches too.
The Falmouth area
Favoured by artists for its light, the town of Falmouth hosts the long established and esteemed College of Art (set in sub tropical gardens) and many galleries - and - every summer the town hosts many regattas including the Henri Lloyd Festival.
Visit: the new and acclaimed Maritime Museum; take a ferry across the water to St. Mawes or Truro, Malpas or the National Trust Trellissick Gardens and House; visit the beautiful National Trust Durgan Gardens and tiny beach where the old school house still stands. Visit Trebah Gardens; take the children to Flambards for a fun day out on roller coasters et al; visit the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek; the train to St. Ives for fabulous coastal views and enjoy - amongst a million other things! - Falmouth's bijou cinema or Truro's multi screen - the Plaza - or see at show at the theatre Truro's Hall for Cornwall.
There is a golfcourse at Swanpool - a short drive away - and tennis courts by the beach close to the house. And if you really must swim indoors, then the relatively new Leisure complex on Pendennis Point is for you!
And then.........go shark and whale watching......or simply hire a boat and fish.
