A unique, very distinctive and spacious early 19th century house whose walls descend into the sea. Positioned between King Charles Quay and the adjacent Custom House Quay, from which Packet Ships departed destined throughout the British Empire. Darwin returned to Falmouth, where news of Trafalgar also came ashore, and Lord Byron departed from it. Sea views from all windows on both sides allow you to watch the hubbub of yachts, tall ships, ferry boats, cruise liners and more. A short wander brings you to all amenities. Mooring for yachts is available within 100m.
Three storey accommodation currently offers 4 ensuite bedrooms sleeping 7, and an additional guest/general WC. All rooms with sea views.
With much to see and do the house is perfect for year round holidays. Enjoy the many attractions which Falmouth has to offer within a short walking distance, including restaurants, family pubs, specialist shops, art galleries, National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle, wide sandy beaches and coves, multi-screen cinema, leisure and fishing trips, public pool and bowling. Walk to the southwest coast path going west, or take the quayside ferry to the path going east. Falmouth is ideal for touring Cornwall with a short drive to Lands End, Tate Gallery at St Ives, surfing beaches on the North Cornish Coast, Minack Theatre, Lizard peninsula, World Heritage Mining sites, Flambards Theme Park and The Eden Project.
No problem to stop right outside the door to load/unload, with two public car parks within 5 minutes walk (£26.30/week summer, £15.80/week winter), or free street side parking.
Welcome pack with driving instructions, where to find keys, and background information sent by email a couple of weeks before arrival. All this plus more contained in an Information Folder within the house.

The location of the house is on the water with beautiful harbor views. Large and inviting, it is right in the heart of the tourist area with easy access to shops and restaurants, as well as tour buses and ferries.
The house was very clean when we arrived. There even was a welcome gift of cookies on the kitchen table.
The space was bigger than I imagined. It covers three floors with four bedrooms and five bathrooms! There also is sink and shower in the smallest bedroom.
Though the house seems to be older, it has been updated to modern standards in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, while maintaining its original charm.
The weather was a little warmer than normal and we were able to get a cool cross-breeze with open windows. These windows also are a great sound block for any noise from the street, which was very little.
The kitchen had all the appliances, dishes, pots and pans that we needed. There even is an apparently brand-new non-stick skillet that is the best I’ve ever used! There is ample refrigerator and freezer space. Perfect for a full house.
The owners were very responsive to our inquiries before and during our visit.
I highly recommend the Old Quay House for any visitors to Falmouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there!

The property was as described and suited us perfectly. Clean, excellent location, in the middle of everything yet perfectly quiet. Would recommend to anyone. We'll be back.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2019
We enjoyed our stay in Falmouth and the house was in an ideal location.
Lots going on in this location and it can be a bit noisy in the evenings. If you want to be in the middle of town you have to expect some disturbance. The house faces a busy pub.
Without wanting to be to picky, the house is in need of a deep clean.
The housekeeper needs to up her gain as in certain areas it wasn’t great. We decided not to complain as we are not that type of guest but there is room for big improvement.
The owners also need to carry out some basic maintenance as there is a quite a few issues in the house.
I am not going to list all of these but the two that concerned us most was that all doors inside the house should be able to be shut closed especially in bathrooms and bedrooms for privacy. Furthermore removing thermostatic valves on radiators so that we were unable to turn them on or up is not great for your cold guests.We did experience cool wet weather in June and it would of been nice to tweak the heating a little as the house being an old building gets cold and we were unable to do so. I will mention that the gas fire in the lounge was wonderful and we used it on two evenings.
We did not raise any complaints with the owners or receive any communication from them. A courtesy call or text to ensure we were comfortable would of been appreciated during our stay.
With the issues we had we would not choose to stay at this particular property again, which is a great shame as we will be returning to the area in the autumn.
I am sure other guests will enjoy this property especially in the warm summer months.
