Falmouth is an interesting old town that has retained the charm of the old fishing port, with narrow streets and alleys to the waterside. There are excellent shops, restaurants and several pubs as well as three beaches that are easily accessible. Boat and ferry services run regularly to St Mawes, Flushing and Truro as well as the Helford River. Falmouth harbour is the third deepest natural harbour in the world and is famous for its sailing water. The National Maritime Museum, newly opened, is a very popular tourist attraction. The property has been awarded 4 stars by English Tourist Board for 2008.
Puffins has been completely refurbished by new owners for their own comfort and enjoyment while in the UK, this luxury studio flat provides a magnificent view across the Fal Estuary with its network of creeks and rivers and colourful boating activities. Located in historic Packet Quays, Puffins is a great location for visiting any of Falmouth's many attractions on foot, including Pendennis Castle, the Maritime Museum, beaches and many wonderful gardens.
Alternatively, it is possible to explore the traditional waterways by ferry, boat tour or chartered yacht. Or perhaps, visit any of Cornwall's famous sites – from Tintagel and the Eden Project to Land's End – as an easy day trip. Puffins is positioned within minutes walk of numerous pubs and superb restaurants; banks and supermarkets; galleries, antiques and craft shops. Those who enjoy cooking will find purveyors of fresh seafood, choice produce and baked goods in Falmouth Town's bustling centre. The RCYC, Falmouth Marina, and Castles Leisure Pool are all within walking distance, and several National Trust gardens and fine golf courses are nearby.
