A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome. It is on the condition that they are not allowed on the sofas and beds, not left alone in the property and any mess in the garden cleaned up.

The Neighborhood:

Steeped in history, the charming town of Penryn is quieter than its neighbour, Falmouth. You'll find mazes of quaint cobbled streets to explore, beautiful scenery to take in and a thriving artisan community. You're in the perfect spot to explore all that South Cornwall has to offer. Just under three miles away are the sandy beaches of Falmouth, as well as a high street full of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. All are easily accessible via the train, which is only one stop to Falmouth Town and one more to the end of the line at Falmouth Docks.



The Helford River offers lots of opportunities for walking and cream tea eating! Whilst a little further afield is Porthleven, known for its fantastic pubs and the annual food festival, as well as Praa Sands for coastal paths and swimming or surfing opportunities.



Enys Gardens and Tea Rooms is a firm favourite of locals and is said to be the oldest gardens in Cornwall. Within the secret 30-acre gardens, you’ll find an open meadow known as Parc Lye, where the bluebells are breathtaking. From Penryn, you can catch the Falmouth Water Taxi and take a scenic trip on the river to picturesque villages such as St Mawes. Stop at a riverside pub such as the 13th-century Pandora Inn or visit the National Trust’s Trelissick House and Gardens.



Getting Around:

Parking on New Street is always free, and there is usually a spot directly outside the house. However, if there is more than one car and you can't find a space, Permarin Car Park is a 2-minute walk and cars can be left there for free at all times. Alternatively, the Commercial Road Car park is directly behind the house and is free of charge from 4 pm - 9 am.
