Local points of interest from Lyn

Head down to Gyllyngvase beach – have coffee or breakfast on the outdoor deck of the beach café - they have their own bakery, and blankets and heaters in winter. Watch the surf club training and spot marine craft on the world’s third deepest natural harbour.

Walk the coastpath from the cottage – head to Swanpool Beach or the beautiful Maenporth Beach, both also have excellent cafes- or take a ferry across the harbour to St Mawes, and maybe on again to the wooded slopes of St Anthony Head beyond.

Enjoy the sub-tropical waters and marine wildlife from a stand up paddleboard – stroll down to the beach, hire a board or canoe, and explore the secret beaches, coves and reef of the Helford Passage.

Spend some time on Falmouth’s vibrant high street – from the cottage in about 30 minutes you can walk to independent shops and galleries, artisan bakeries, quirky and historic bars and atmospheric restaurants – many with waterfront views or just a five minute drive if you prefer.
Falmouth Golf Club is less than a mile away with a lovely bar serving great food with views over Falmouth bay.

Explore the Lizard Peninsula. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to beautiful Trebah garden, with its own beach on the Helford Passage – or on to explore historic Penzance, and swim in the newly opened Art Deco seawater Lido, now heated by geothermal sources.

The Seal Sanctuary is only 9 miles from Kingfisher Cottage and I can guarantee children and adults alike will love it.
The Flicka donkey sanctuary is less than 5 miles away at Penryn and again, a lovely day out for children and adults alike!
We recommend a visit to the superb new National Maritime Museum and historic Pendennis Castle.
Falmouth acknowledged to be one of the most attractive resorts in the whole of the country boasting three safe sandy beaches and the second largest natural harbour in the world.
You can enjoy fabulous watersports of every kind, sailing, fishing, diving ,windsurfing and surfing. Play golf or sunbathe on the beach or take one of the many scenic boat trips around the area.

Feb half term mini break
Clean, comfortable, cozy, warm and well equipped, just like home. We had a lovely stay. Tennis court was really nice and bird song was the only sound outside (no road noise). 10-15 minute drive from Falmouth, lovely walks to beaches and great on-site cafe. Lyn couldn't have been more helpful. She gave us loads of advice about what to do and where to go.

About the host

Hosted by Lyn Williams

Host profile image
Having spent many lovely holidays at Pendra Loweth so convenient to Falmouth, the beaches and SW coastal path, not to mention central to all the Cornish attractions, we could not miss the opportunity to purchase our own holiday cottage when one became available.

Why they chose this property

Kingfisher Cottage has its own very private south facing patio so you can dine in privacy and yet take full advantage of the beautiful gardens to explore and the pretty babbling brook which runs within yards of the property. The car parking space is next to the property so no lugging heavy cases a long way and perfect for my 88 year old mother who is not quite as nimble as she was. The children have loved all the amenities and the opportunity to be independent and catch the bus into Falmouth as they grew older as there is a bus stop 5 minutes away and now our grandchildren love it too. We have made it our own with extensive refurbishment including an additional downstairs shower room. Join us on our adventure, we are very excited to be letting out to others and hope you will love it as we do.

What makes this property unique

Private south facing patio not overlooked. 3 double bedrooms so no arguing about being in the smallest one! A brand new bathroom, and an additional downstairs shower room so no waiting your turn. The opportunity to walk to two Michelin recommended restaurants both with an amazing sea view within 20-30 minutes walk from the property or a 2 min drive. The Cove at Maenporth beach and Hooked on the Rocks at Swanpool beach followed by a scenic walk along the SW coastal path.
