About the home
The Green House is a recently refurbished traditional Cornish Fishermans Cottage in the pretty waterside village of Flushing near Falmouth, Cornwall.
Unfortunately, many Cornish holiday cottages are tired and tatty, with ageing kitchens and bathrooms, outdated heating and hot water systems, old furniture and uncomfortable beds. We have set out to provide something special at The Green House, somewhere that is guaranteed to offer our guests a spotlessly clean, comfortable, hiqh-quality holiday retreat that you will want to return to again and again.
The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard in a clean and contemporary style whilst still retaining it's charming 200 year old character. It sleeps six in 3 bedrooms.
Enter through the front door into a hall with slate flooring. The lounge is equipped with LCD flat screen TV with SKY Plus, Playstation and wood-burning stove.
A separate dining room seating 6 in comfort leads into the modern re-fitted kitchen with solid wood worktops, halogen hob, electric oven and dishwasher. To the rear of the kitchen is a utility area with washer / dryer and separate WC.
From the kitchen courtyard steps lead up to the feature garden. This has a tropical feel with lush planting, and decked areas with sunloungers, a hammock and a table and chairs.
Upstairs, the luxury bathroom features a heated slate floor, deep bath, large separate shower and WC.
The master bedroom with King size bed looks out onto the pretty street whilst the second double bedroom looks onto the garden at the rear.
The third bedroom has a nautical feel with white bunk-beds and Laura Ashley fabrics and furnishings.
For those with young children there is a cot and a high chair at the cottage.
The use of wireless broadband is included.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.

Share videoThe West Country / Cornwall region
Flushing is one known to be one of the warmest villages in the UK because it has an idyllic sheltered south-facing aspect, between the banks of the Penryn River and Falmouth Harbour.
It became popular in the eighteenth century as the choice location for the wealthy Packet Ship captains, and was visited by Admiral Nelson. Latterly it has become one of the most sought-after locations anywhere in the West Country. Flushing has an unrivalled mild climate, streets lined with picture-postcard traditional terraced fisherman’s cottages, and beautiful unspoilt surrounding countryside.
There is also easy access onto some of the best sailing waters anywhere in the West Country, with the Helford River, the Fal Estury, Falmouth Bay and Mylor Yacht Harbour all within reach. Flushing also has a Sailing Club that welcomes guests, and it’s own dog-friendly beach.
The Falmouth / Flushing area
Many Cornish villages have become over crowded with tourists, but Flushing is much quieter, even during peak season, and it still benefits from a strong and vibrant community. The Flushing Regatta and Flushing Art Week are two annual fixtures not to be missed that the whole community embraces.
Flushing has two friendly pubs - The Standard, which was recently renovated and offers excellent food, and The Seven Stars, a more traditional pub with an equally extensive menu. There is also a stunning waterside seafood restaurant located on the quay, and a friendly well-stocked general store.
A passenger ferry runs a regular service between Flushing and Falmouth. It also connects with the ferries to St Mawes, Mylor, Trelissick and Truro. In summer the Fal River boats offer trips to the gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan, and onwards to Truro. A local water taxi service also runs around the bay.
Flushing is easy to reach by car. Penryn is the nearest rail station and connects to mainline services at Truro, which has a direct rail link to London (Paddington) with a journey time of approximately 4 hours. There is also a regular local bus service. Air travellers can fly from London Stansted or Gatwick to Newquay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in The Green House. The accommodation was lovely, the quality of furnishing and attention to detail were excellent and we enjoyed the welcome - fresh scones for us, and treats for our dog Scrabble. Flushing is a beautiful setting, a quiet waterside village but with two great pubs and a fabulous fish restaurant in The Waterside. I would recommend both this area of Cornwall, and The Green House. Flushing is also well placed, a short drive from Falmouth and Truro, and less than an hour to St Ives. Porth Kidney beach near St Ives was a find - white sands and dog friendly. |

We cannot recommend this cottage enough. The location is great with the regular, half hourly Flushing ferry service over to Falmouth (except) Sundays. Parking was not a problem. The cottage itself was tastefully furnished together with some outstanding features such as the low lighting on the landing and the heated bathroom floor. Everything necessary for a comfotable stay was provided, from logs to dishwasher tablets, from Sky+ to a fab Cornish Cream Tea! |
