1 Florence Place, Falmouth

Cornwall. Sleeps up to 6

1 Florence Place is a Regency townhouse on the end of a terrace less than a mile from Falmouth's beaches and only 600 yards from the vibrant centre of the town. Rambling over three storeys and with elegant period features, it is a comfortable and stylish house for a beach and town break. From the hall, head into the big sitting room where you can relax and watch TV, and then through to a dining room. If you don't feel like eating in the dining room, the well equipped kitchen, with its generous American-style fridge/freezer, modern range-style cooker and walk-in larder, has a handy breakfast table. Take the stairs up to three airy bedrooms, and then up again to a charming en suite double under the eaves where you can gaze across Falmouth and the sea from an extending dormer window. Around the house, the attractive garden has an old hot house for storing your surfing and sailing gear and a private enclosed courtyard for eating alfresco. Stroll into the lively heart of the town to shop, eat out and enjoy a drink at a smart bar or visit the National Maritime Museum for a fascinating glimpse into England's nautical history. Don't forget to pack your beach gear too for the choice of beaches for sandcastling and rock pooling. With golf, tennis, beautiful gardens and hotel spas within easy reach, 1 Florence Place is an ideal base for a fun and active break.
