Genuine owner property

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.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Sophia

Host profile image
Sophia and Kevin, together with Gareth and Seana.

Kevin was born & grew up in the south-west, and together with Sophia who is Greek bought the Old Quay House as their only home. Working away in Africa for many months each year allows them to let the Old Quay House for holidays, hoping others will enjoy the south-west and their home as much as they do.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in the south-west, this is simply home. Falmouth is a fantastic place. The high street is yards away, with supermarkets, restaurants, cafe´s, galleries, craft shops, cinema, pubs, and so forth. The National Maritime Museum is a short stroll, the sandy Gyllingvase beach a ten minute walk, and the sandy Swanpool beach a further five. Pendennis castle, the harbour, recreation centre, and much more are a saunter away. The coastal footpath can be joined going west, or take a ferry from the adjacent quayside to go east.

Further afield there is the Lizard peninsula with its coves and tea shops, Penzance and Land´s End with the Minnack Theatre, the north coast and its surf beaches, the Cornish Mining Heritage sites and mines that can be visited, the Eden Centre, fishing villages stretching up the coast, and more.

What makes this property unique

The Old Quay House was built two hundred years ago as part of a seaman´s mission, and became the residence of the preacher at the quayside Bethel. On one side the rear of the house drops directly down into the sea in King Charles Quay, and on the other side the front door is within yards of Custom House Quay and the 16th century Chainlocker public house. Wake up in the groundfloor bedroom knowing the sea is lapping a few feet away, or in the other bedrooms on the second floor overlooking the harbours. Or in the winter cosy up to the open flame fire.
