The hosts were great available if we needed them but left us to enjoy our holiday. The property was immaculate and perfect for two people. The location was great very quiet only a 15 min walk to pubs and restaurants downhill. We got a bus or taxi back up the hill for less than a fiver. The property has everything you could need absolutely no faults whatsoever. Had a great hol and would return in a heartbeat.

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found the property to be perfect for two people. It was lovely to meet you and we hope that you will visit again.
A lovely, cosy, well furnished, spotlessly clean home. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and there was a washing machine and parking space on the property. A 15/20 minute walk down into Falmouth town but there was a regular bus for most of the way. Also near to a station, should you wish to leave the car at home for the day.
Great accommodation with little extras to make our stay enjoyable. Especially enjoyed the outdoor space to relax after a day of sightseeing..Would highly recommend this lovely property.

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Carvinack and all that Falmouth and the surrounding area has to offer. It was lovely to meet you both.
The accommodation was beautifully clean and well equipped. The bed and bedding was superb and the small ensuite loo and washbasin was just right. Off road parking was a bonus and Andrew and Rachel were charming. It was about 20mins walk into town which we enjoyed but the option of buses, taxis and the train were very easy.

Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you had an enjoyable stay. It was a pleasure to meet you.
We had a wonderfull stay at carvinack. We could not fault the property very clean & comfortable. It is just far enough out of town to be quiet in the evening, but only about a mile walk into town & beaches. lots of restraunts & pubs with the beerwolf being a favourite. overall a great place to stay 😊

So pleased that you had a wonderful stay. Agree that Beerwolf is a fab place. Hope to welcome you again.
Everything was beyond perfect. Every little detail had been thought out meticulously, and all home comforts were to hand, even dishwasher tablets, tin foil and cling film.!Andrew and Rachel were wonderful hosts, and available at all times by phone or us just popping in to ask for take away menus. Could not have stayed anywhere nicer.Thank you.

We are very pleased that you found the property to your liking and hope to welcome you again.
Falmouth surprised us in very positive ways for such a large town. We were very happy with walking around and even going out on two different ferries. This property was certainly walker friendly. Also seeing the town from the water was beautiful. We did take the train into St Ives one day and that was a really nice way to visit such a pretty beach town. Overall staying at Andrew's rental was a very positive experience.
Thank you Andrew & Rachel for providing such a well equipped and stylish home for our stay in Falmouth. Your attention to detail was much appreciated as were the treats left for our arrival! The accommodation itself is about 10 minutes walk downhill into town. You may wish to get a bus or taxi back as it is quite a steep hill. Or you could use the local train line. The railway station is about 5 minutes away and runs right into town. There is a fish and chip shop just round the corner which we were pleased to discover opens on Sundays. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.
My wife and I stayed here for 6 days in June.
The house is ideal for 2 people as it has absolutely everything you might need.
It has all home comforts and all the fitments are of an extremely high standard.
It also has private parking on the drive in front of the house.
The location is approximately a 15 minute walk to both the town centre with its harbour and the beaches,so it made an ideal base for everything in Falmouth.
The hosts live next door so are on hand if needed.
Andrew met us there upon arrival and was very helpful with information of the local area.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
So glad for spacious off street parking in a town with lots of on-street parking. Easy secure entry from excellent check-in instructions from Andrew & Rachel. First impression was it smells like a breath of fresh air. So clean & welcoming. It feels like you're at home but someone tidied your house before you arrived! Beautifully appointed. Not a single thing out of place. Lovely bottle of bubbly & fresh milk in the fridge. I had a cuppa from the teabags & local Cornish shortbread provided within my first 10 mins at the lovely table with fresh flowers. A family member moved to Falmouth for Uni and when she walked in she said "Wow, this is beautiful." And it truly is. I cooked at the property and had everything I needed. Sparkling clean kitchen and bathrooms. Rachel and Andrew have thought of everything. Even how to manage recycling and household waste. Outdoor seating was really lovely to have with the weather being very warm. Property is very secure but we didn't have any worries in that direction. Neighbourhood seems very local and friendly. All household linens are very high quality. The bedroom had so much storage and plenty of hangers in both wardrobes. The bed itself was extremely comfortable, plenty of pillows & a duvet like a cloud. I hope to return many times to Rachel and Andrew's awesome property. This is a lesson in exactly how a rental property should make you feel. Relaxed, refreshed, rewarded. So many lovely, thoughtful touches. Simply perfect.

We had a very lovely stay at the apartment. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were very nice. Parking was perfect, directly in front of the house. If we ever come back to Falmouth, we would definitely book here again.

Wir waren, im August, für 2 Wochen vor Ort und fanden es wunderbar. Eine sehr saubere und in einer ruhigen Wohngegend gelegene Unterkunft. Zu Fuß kommt man in 20 Minuten zum Strand oder ins Zentrum. Einen kleinen Bahnhof, von wo aus man schnell in die nächsten Orte kommt, oder wer möchte auch nach London, ist fußläufig in 5 min. zu erreichen. Die Vermieter wohnen direkt nebenan und sind sehr diskret. Wir haben sie in den 2 Wochen einmal, durch Zufall, getroffen und einen kurzen Smalltalk gehalten. Wir können die Unterkunft rundum empfehlen.
Ein rundum schönes Ferienhaus, vollständig, funktional und recht neu ausgestattet. Sehr praktisch: die kleine Toilette im Obergeschoss, um nachts nicht durch das ganze Haus laufen zu müssen. Dazu freundliche unaufdringliche Vermieter, die bei Fragen helfen konnten. Rundum eine gelungene Urlaubserfahrung. Und der Ort Falmouth ist ein guter Startpunkt, um Cornwall kennen zu lernen.
Proprietà molto curata nei minimi dettagli. Arredamento e finiture interne di qualità. Cucina accessiorata e letto comodissimo. Parcheggio comodo davanti casa.
Top Ferienhaus mit einer kompletten Ausstattung. Es hat uns wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und trotzdem nicht soweit vom Zentrum. Bergsteigen muss man in Falmouth überall ;)
Können diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
