About this property

THE WHEEL,Harbour view apartment for two - private front entrance and patio

Lovely one bedroom ground floor flat with beautiful harbour views.

The apartment is 5 minutes walking distance from Falmouth town centre and is overlooking Flushing, Falmouth Harbour and Carrick Roads, all the sailing boats moored and sailed.

Dunstanville Terrace is in Greenbank and the entrance of Royal Cornwall Yacht Club is just in the front of us. Greenbank Hotel to the left of us.
The apartment compromises:
Private front door entrance.
Granite tiled patio in the front facing the sea/harbour, open plan kitchen living room with deep bay window opening to the views. One bedroom with king size bed (American queen) with Vi Spring comfy mattress. Walk-in shower in the bathroom.
PARKING Finding a parking spot close to the Wheel. All the streets in this area offer free 24 hour parking. At times it can be difficult,but there is generally a parking slot along Stratton terrace, North Parade and Simmons Hill. Could be much as a 5 minute walk. We suggest double parking outside,unload and then find a space(just remember where) In the evening and after shopping hours spaces on Dunstanville become more readily available. See the map of the location.

Lovely property overlooking the harbour
Beautifully furnished, immaculately presented, well equipped and with a seriously comfy bed, my husband and I stayed here for Falmouth Classics. Very handy for the Greenbank Hotel and the yacht club and a short walk into Falmouth Town. Host is excellent too - very helpful.

Beautiful property - confused proprietor
We loved the apartment location and set up, it was extremely clean and well furnished, although the oven was not working. The proprietor was initially very kind and solicitous while we were in the apartment, offering many helpful suggestions and timely communication, we ran into trouble after leaving. After we cleaned up, washed up the dishes, cleared out the fridge, made the bed, tidied all surfaces and the washroom, left nothing behind, even laundered the extra towels we used for her, she sent us a £100 cleaning fee and a note saying she was angry about us leaving the place in "a mess", providing no further details. We are working through VRBO to resolve this matter, but we hope this review helps prepare others for what they might encounter.

Merveilleux séjour a Falmouth
Tout était parfait ou presque. L'emplacement, la vue sur la baie, l'appartement et ses équipements. Et tout a fait conforme a la description. En plus, la propriétaire nous avait laissé plein de bonnes choses a manger (scones, beurre, lait, oeufs, confitures...)

Urlaub in Falmouth
Wir haben uns hier wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und komfortabel eingerichtet. Die Ausstattung für den täglichen Bedarf ist außergewöhnlich gut, alles vorhanden und funktionstüchtig. Die Lage ist perfekt, ruhig, mit schöner Aussicht und man kann die Stadt zu Fuß erkunden. Sehr gefreut hat uns, dass wir einen von der Vermieterin gefüllten Kühlschrank vorfanden. Ein außergewöhnicher Service! Die Kommunikation mit ihr war unkompliziert und sie war als Hilfestellung immer erreichbar. Eine ganz klare Empfehlung!

Very nice and convenient home
Anne has done a fabulous job of upgrading this ground floor flat. All the best appliances and beautiful floors. Anne was very attentive, and gracious even when we couldn’t get the washer working bc we didn’t close the door properly. She left a wonderful welcome package for us in the fridge, helped with ideas based upon our interests, and was most interested in making our stay as comfortable as possible. Parking can be a bit of a problem, especially if you’re not used to the English roads but worth the hassle to stay in a wonderful place. Thanks very much Anne.

A wonderful apartment and a host that thought of everything
We spend a wonderful 3 days at apartment. As the pictures show, the view is fantastic and the interiors are very comfortable and well outfitted. Anne seemed to have thought of every detail for stocking the apartment including groceries for breakfasts, and bath amenities. The location was only a few blocks from the center or Falmouth and easily walkable. Anne was a remarkably responsive host and provided us with all the information we could possible need in advance of arrival, including restaurant recommendations, and checked in with us by email to be sure we had everything needed once we arrived. We certainly hope we can come back to Falmouth again, and if we do we'd want to come back to the Wheel. Our only complaint is; as we found in all the other places we stayed on this trip around England, the beds and couches all are softer than what we're used to back home.
