Fabulous view, close to town, lovely cosy cottage
Wonderful spot - 5 mins walk into town. Great view. Very cosy and homely. Extra touches like air freshener and soap and an umbrella make a difference. Parking was ok - always found a spot but did need to walk a bit sometimes. Would definitely recommend and would like to come back here in the summer.

Glorious views. Comfortable and peaceful.
This lovely cottage felt immediately homely. We had a very relaxing stay and slept so well in comfortable beds in this peacful spot. Set in a small row of cottages looking out over Falmouth's harbour, this cottage is really tucked away from the bustle of the town, but still just a few minutes walk from the centre. You park in the road behind the cottage and access the front door by taking the steps to the side of the cottages and a little footpath in front. This means there in no passing traffic and you can sit outside in the peaceful surroundings to enjoy the wonderful view. There is always something happening in the harbour, so we loved just sitting on the patio soaking up the views.

A lovely stay!
Our stay at April Cottage was absolutely lovely! The cottage itself was cosy, very pretty and well equipped. The view from the front windows and outside seating area was perfect - watching the boats come and go was such a pleasure. John is a most welcoming host. ( Thanks, John!) We all thoroughly recommend a stay in April Cottage.

A home away from home
April cottage is a home away from home. The rooms are light and airy, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. Although the kitchen is small it is quite adequate and there is more than enough equipment provided. The owners have obviously gone to great lengths to anticipate and cover every possible need. The bathroom is modern; the shower is compact but works well. The master bedroom is large and storage space is ample. The view from its single window is simply stunning. For international travellers like us with a lot of heavy luggage, the steep stone steps that lead down to the narrow path running across the front of the five cottages can present a bit of a challenge. However, once done, the arrival at the front terrace, which enjoys spectacular views over the Fal estuary and the far side of the river, makes it all worthwhile. We enjoyed sitting out there for breakfast and evening drinks as often as we could. Although there is no designated car space for the cottage, we never had a problem finding one in the roads nearby. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and our only complaint is that we wish it could have been longer.

I’m reluctant to be too positive because I don’t want anyone else to book our weeks in the years to come! We have already booked another week for next year! It’s so good I don’t want to tell anyone! 😁

Christmas at April Cottage
What a beautiful place to spend Christmas. So quiet and peaceful with such stunning views. The cottage had everything that we could possibly need, with comfy beds, cosy sofas, a glowing log burner and even a Christmas tree! Just a short walk to the town for local pubs and restaurants. Everything that we had hoped for and more. Would definitely stay here again.

Great cottage and plenty to do
Firstly the host was excellent. Very attentive. The house itself was well equipped and has an amazing view out of the front each morning of the boats. Falmouth is a quaint little town - we have 3 boys who always had plenty to do and didn't want to leave. There are days out close by but even if you don't want to go very far the town is only a 5 minute walk away. We would definitely come back here - we got the quiet time we like with the convenience of everything close by.

Gorgeous property with stunning views
We had a fabulous week in this lovely cottage and really enjoyed exploring Falmouth (not visited here before). The view is amazing and the cottage is very comfortable. There are around 25 steps down to the property as other reviewers have mentioned but this wasn’t a problem for us. (I needed it to work off all the pasties!). Parking was difficult as it was August but we luckily found a space and didn’t move the car all week. The only issue we had was that there weren’t recycling bins at the property so we had to throw everything out which I felt uncomfortable with - we all need to do our bit! Not sure if this is a wider Falmouth issue however. Other than that a perfect cottage and we had a fabulous time - definitely recommend.

Fantastic!
The best holiday home. Incredible views, easy walk to the town and harbour. Beautiful cottage. You just don't want to leave Falmouth as there's so much going on. The pier for boat trips is a 5 minute walk away. It's a good incline back but our kids (aged 9 and 6), didn't have any problems. Plenty of restaurants, bars and shops but really quiet and tranquil at the cottage. We loved it! Thank you!

The perfect coastal retreat with a picturesque view
This beautiful little cottage comes with a breath taking view, so much so, that I set our alarm to wake up before sunrise so we could have breakfast in the garden while watching the sun come up. The cottage has everything you could need, comfortable beds, fluffy pillows, a log burner for those cosy nights in. We walked into the town and around Falmouth and had great sea food meals, tasted traditional Cornish, pasties, ice cream and fudge. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip and we will be back soon and we highly recommend this cottage for the perfect holiday stay.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.
Had a lovely stay at April cottage, what a lovely place it was. Fantastic location close to all amenities, very well equipped with everything you should need. The views from the lounge and bedrooms are beautiful and add to the attraction of the place. Only downside about the place is the stone steps down to the cottage, which was not explained online, which my mother who came with me, found difficult as she has mobility issues, however it’s not put me off, as I’ve booked another stay with my family, for next year. Overall a fantastic stay. 😀
