The Captain's House is a wonderfully located and spacious Grade II listed property overlooking Falmouth harbour and the Carrick Roads. The house was built in 1832 and has many superbly preserved period features. It offers plenty of space for family and friends to relax and enjoy time in Falmouth; with two living rooms, a large dining room and kitchen on the ground floor plus a garden room leading out to a private terraced garden at the back of the house. Upstairs four bedrooms set around a large hall offer sleeping for eight. There is secure garaging for two cars and off-the-road parking for one other car. Guests can leave their car in the secure parking and enjoy walking to all that Falmouth has to offer.

About the host
Hosted by Carol Ballett
The Captain's House is owned by Mark and Carol. It is their home which they wish to share with holidaymakers wanting to enjoy the delights of Falmouth and its harbour, beaches and coastal walks.
We set the Captain's House up as a holiday home in 2014.

Why they chose this property
We love The Captain's House for its fabulous views of the harbour, quiet location and close proximity to town, ferries and walks.
We really enjoy Falmouth for the stunning coastal walks and the town as there is always so much going on. We love going to the beaches in all seasons, and many of them are walking distance.

What makes this property unique
We love relaxing in the house and then wandering down to Falmouth to enjoy the coastal walks, pubs, restaurants, shops, sailing, harbour cruises and the fascinating Maritime museum.
The house is beautifully preserved with lovely period features. It has plenty of space to relax with family and friends. In spring and summer we enjoy the light, the garden and the views and in the winter its the warm fires.
We have also furnished it with antiques and family heirlooms that complement the property.
Falmouth is an event lead town with fun activities and entertainment throughout the year. It is all easily accessible from the house. Yet when you're at home it is so peaceful and quiet.
