About this property
4 Capt Uptons Cottages. Central but secluded. Fast Wifi. Top floor sea views.
Picturesque fisherman's cottage, over three floors with some beautiful harbour views from the top floor 'look out'. This historic dwelling has been totally re-furbished with high-end interiors and hi-speed wi-fi. Situated in a 'secret' secluded courtyard, with private, secure back garden, the property is as follows; Ground: One double bedroom with King Size bed and double aspect over courtyard and back garden, plus small twin-bedded room with rear window, both with mirrored wardrobes. First: Renovated, modern, bright, triple aspect kitchen, with access to private garden. Granite worktops, electric range cooker, dishwasher, microwave, and under-counter fridge and freezer. Dining area for six with wall mounted Smart TV. Family bathroom/WC, plus very small additional shower room and second WC. Second Floor: Spacious, luxurious, triple aspect lounge with five windows, making it light and airy. High quality furnishings with Samsung Smart Curved TV and Bose 'surround-sound' system. Remote-Control electric blinds. Third bedroom with double bed, built-in wardrobe and vanity unit. "Look-out" off landing, affording a great view of harbour . Cobbled area to front of cottage has bench seating, and the rear private garden (access via kitchen, or through tunnel from front of property) has dining table for six and BBQ. Some original features, including panelled walls, beams and door, have been retained in the property. The owners are happy to welcome well-behaved, house-trained dogs.
HISTORICAL NOTE: Captain Upton's Cottages - named after the Mayor of Falmouth in 1708 - have been described by Falmouth Civic Society as "a vital link with Falmouth's first era of prosperity". They are the only remaining example of a host of houses and cottages which once crowded the waterfront. With the exception of Arwenack House, they are arguably the oldest residential buildings in the town".

The cottage was in a great location, tastefully decorated and well equipped. However it is difficult to access the property before 4pm due to the road restrictions that lead to the adjacent car park. Now we are aware of this it would not stop us staying again. Maybe check in would be better being 4pm.
the property made good use of a compact characterful location. Offered all we needed for our all-too-short stay.Very centrally located for all Falmouth had to offer during the 2025 Sea Shanty weekend.
Absolutely beautiful cottage that felt like home the minute we walked in. Well laid out giving everyone their own space but with lovely areas to gather together. Location perfect. Walking distance to everything, shops, pubs, restaurants etc. Exceeded expections. Thank you for having us as guests.
Fantastic place to stay. Great location, so close to the centre but really quiet.Cottage was warm, great shower, comfortable beds. Love the lookout at the top.First time we’ve stayed in dog friendly accommodation and found it great.Would definitely stay again.
Wonderful quirky house which was perfect for our stay with the family (and dog). Well serviced and a really handy courtyard, especially having a dog.We had a lovely 11 nights in Falmouth and would certainly consider this property again when we next visit Falmouth (depending on how many of us there are next time.Thanks Joyce, and say hello to Alan!Kevin
Fantastic location near to the sea front .
A little oasis .! Sitting room and kitchen both excellent and bedrooms although small were sufficient..
Would return without any doubt.
The cottage is beautifully decorated, a real home from home feel, high end facilities.Great location, central to Falmouth shops and harbour, but tucked away and quiet. Great view from the look out seating at the top of the cottage, beautiful harbour views.You can paddle board from the harbour, and the beach is a 15 min walk.Great restaurants near by.The host is a great communicator, prompt response and we only booked the day before arrival. Excellent value for money, cozy and comfortable stay, we will definitely return. Day trip to the Eden Project and to St Ives.

About the host
Hosted by Mrs J Cooper
Why they chose this property
Captain Upton's Cottages are just a few steps away from all that Falmouth has to offer. At the top of Upton Slip is the main shopping street, with many main stream high street stores, as well as local independent craft shops. A great selection of restaurants and bars are also within easy walking distance. Church Street Car Park, on the harbourside is literally 10 paces from our front gate, at the bottom of the slip! . If you wish to keep the car there, the cost is currently circa £8 per day.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is one of two 17th Century buildings which are noted as the oldest residential properties (with the exception of Arnewack House) in Falmouth. The "Lookout" on the top floor, gives a spectacular view over the harbour.
