About this property

Arvor -Bright, spacious flat ,near sandy beach, coast paths and Falmouth Bay

ARVOR
Arvor is a bright & airy ,modern ,two bedroomed ,non smoking ,well equipped,ground floor apartment close to Maenporth's sandy beach (about a 5 minute walk through a field or 2 min drive ) and less than a 15 minute drive to Falmouth.
It has underfloor heating and a dedicated parking space for one car. There is a large open plan kitchen /dining/living space opening into a patio with garden table and chairs .The lounge has a wall mounted fire ,40 “ Smart TV (Netflix enabled if you have an account ),Blu Ray DVD player,free & unlimited wifi and iPod docking station . The kitchen is fully equipped including a dishwasher and fridge freezer and there is a separate utility room with washer/dryer & sink. There are two bedrooms with low allergenic duvets & pillows - the master bedroom has a Kingsize bed and an ensuite shower room with large walk in shower.The second bedroom has twin beds. There is a separate family bathroom with bath (with inset handles)and electric shower over the bath . There are no grab rails within the apartment . It is a non smoking apartment and as I have tried to make it a low allergenic apartment regretfully no animals are allowed to visit or stay.
Same day bookings sometimes possible -please e mail me .

The apartment is just moments from the coastal path overlooking Falmouth bay and a few minutes walk to the lovely sandy Maenporth beach . The beach has a cafe which is very popular with locals and visitors . There are some beautiful coastal path and countryside walks right on the doorstep and the local village of Mawnan Smith has an Inn and a range of shops including a supermarket with post office ,cafe & restaurant.
Falmouth is just a short 10-15 mins drive with a wide range of shops,restaurants , beaches ,golf ,water sports swimming pool ,spas,cinema ,a castle .... and loads more !
The apartment is an ideal base for walkers & families as the beach and coastal path are so close but in order to fully enjoy the surrounding area ,a car is needed. Some of the roads in Cornwall are narrow with high stone hedges so please take care
.IF you are unfamiliar with Cornish roads and are hiring a vehicle you might find a small/medium sized car easier to explore the area.

PLEASE NOTE
1.There is a sharp turn into the road outside the apartment so please take this turn wide and slowly .
2. Same day booking and arrival MAY be possible -so please contact me using 'ask owner a question'.

Rainy Days
The apartment was spacious and stocked with little extras which we enjoyed on the rainy days. On the sunny day we enjoyed the short walk to the beach. This apartment would be ideal for a young family

This apartment was perfect, comfy beds, light and airy with everything you need. Close to the beach
We have been travelling for two months and this apartment was by far the best rental we have stayed in. Perfect for our family with our two young children. The apartment is a good size and had everything you could possibly need during a holiday in terms of amenities and equipment. Great location with an easy walk down to the beach and lovely cotton sheets and comfy beds. We very much look forward to staying again when we return from Sydney next year. Thank you Gill for all your clear communications and wonderful hospitality. You have thought out this rental with lots of care and thought.

Very nice and spacious. It had everything you needed and more. Just up from the beach. The only negative would be it needed black out curtains in the bedrooms. Other than that a great stay.

Wieder ein wunderschöner Urlaub
Nach 5 Jahren gab es ein Wiedersehen mit der wunderbaren Gastgeberin Gill. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und bekamen viele Tipps für unseren Urlaub. Da wir die toll ausgestattete und saubere Wohnung bereits kannten, fühlten wir uns gleich wohl. Die Lage ist super, die Bank mit Blick auf die Bucht von Maenporth ist mein absoluter Lieblingsplatz. Auf Empfehlung von Gill haben wir von Falmouth aus eine Bootsfahrt gemacht und konnten Delphine und sogar Minkwale beobachten, ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Danke für die schöne Zeit. Absolut empfehlenswerte Ferienwohnung. Wir kommen gerne wieder, sollten wir wieder einen Urlaub in Cornwall planen. Beste Grüße von Yvonne und Familie

Comfortable, spacious, and GREAT location
This property was perfect for our week visiting Cornwall. It was very clean and quiet, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. We took full advantage of the picturesque Southwest Coast Path, just steps from the door, but it is also within an hour's drive from many other attractions in Cornwall. Our host Gill was extremely informative and helpful; she even assisted us when we lost our cellphone data service.

Delightful short break at Arvor
Lovely comfortable flat just 5 mins walk from Maenporth beach and close to the coastal path. We had a lovely little break here, the flat had everything we needed and it's a great location for walking, exploring the delights of Falmouth and its surrounds, and eating out. This was our second visit, and matched up to great memories of the first. What's more, Gill is a fantastic host!

Home away from home!
We don't normally write reviews but this lovely 2 bedroom just up from Maenporth Beach is truly beautiful. Gill has been exceptional from the very first contact and made us feel so welcome. Gill has thought of everything and her attention to detail is first class. Staying long or short term, this apartment is spacious, comfortable, fully equipped even down to outdoor toys for children, great location and is a home away from home. We thoroughly recommend!

Wohnung zum Wohlfühlen
Tolle, grosse und saubere Ferienwohnung mit hervorragend ausgestatteter Küche . Lediglich einen stabilen Wäscheständer für die Strandsachen hätten wir uns noch gewünscht. Die Wohnung liegt direkt am Küstenpfad und auch ein Badestrand ist fussläufig in 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Da die Wohnung ausserhalb eines Wohngebietes liegt ist für sämtliche Einkäufe ein Auto erforderlich. Die Vermieterin ist unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit.

Large, comfortable apartment near beach
Though owner was out of town, her thorough communications by email and phone kept us perfectly informed and updated. The apartment is spacious, quiet, attractively decorated, with all conveniences, and well located for exploring Cornwall. Drivers should make a point of arriving before dark, as the last few miles are up a winding, one-lane road. We enjoyed our stay!

Quiet Hideaway
Thank you Gill for being such a lovely host. Having a light on in the apartment on arrival was very thoughtful. The welcome phone call within an hour of arrival, to ensure that we were settled and our stay was comfortable and warm.The small touches of milk in the fridge, fresh flowers and sweet treats were amazing. The apartment was clean, airy and stylish place to spend a few nights away. Beaches are close by and plenty of eateries to enjoy.Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back.

Happy days at Meonporth
We had a great week at this very comfortable apartment and would certainly be very happy to return. Everything was provided that we needed and beds and furniture very comfortable The location is just a short footpath walk to the beach or a two minute drive. The access is all on the level and great for those with less mobility. The kitchen is well equipped and with plenty of china, cutlery and cooking utensils. Even a teapot which is not often found when self-catering! We look forward to a return visit.

We stayed here at Arvor for 3 nights and had a fantastic time! The apartment was amazing! Looks even better in person! The location was amazing as well as you just go down the hill and cross a road to get to a beautiful beach. The village itself is lovely and the people here are so friendly. Would definitely recommend this as a little holiday getaway.

A wonderful stay in Cornwall
We had a lovely stay in Maenporth. The apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortable, spacious and very well equipped. It's only 5 mins walk downhill to the beach and the views are fantastic. There are also lots of lovely walks and we really enjoyed the cliff top walk to Falmouth. Communication with Gill was great from booking and throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property and we hope to stay again very soon. Thanks again Gill.

About the host

Hosted by Gill Fine

Host profile image
My family are Cornish and I moved to Cornwall 14 years ago .I love the beautiful scenery especially the sea ,the great restaurants and the friendly community .

Why they chose this property

I spent many days at Maenporth as a child and love the coastal path walk from Falmouth to Maenporth . The walk is an easy coastal path with stunning scenery and The Cove Restaurant is a very popular restaurant with great food and a lovely sea view . .Maenporth is a lovely sandy cove popular with families as it is ideal for sunbathing and rock pooling .

What makes this property unique

The apartment is bright and airy but always feels cosy even on a winter's day due to the underfloor heating -even in the bathrooms ! I like the open plan living with its wooden floors and the modern kitchen with granite worktops . Most of all I enjoy the views of Falmouth Bay from the field just across the road and the superb coastal and rural paths right on the doorstep .
