Hawkesbury is a beautifully restored Regency townhouse, one mile from Falmouth's beaches and only 600 yards from the vibrant centre of the town. With elegant period features it is a comfortable and stylish house for a beach or town break. From the hall, head into the big sitting room where sash windows fill the room with light. Relax and watch TV or look out over the very pretty neighbouring park. The well equipped kitchen has plenty of space for everyone to gather and a dining table where you can all eat together. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with a king size bed and a large en suite shower room. On the first floor is a bright and spacious double bedroom with a super king size bed and huge bay windows and lovely park views and a neat twin room. For those seeking a little privacy or peace from the hustle and bustle of the group, a self contained annexe with double bedroom, bathroom and kitchen is a good spot to retreat. Close the internal adjoining door, or leave them open to mingle. At the rear is an attractive Mediterranean style terraced garden, the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine on a summer's evening. Stroll into the lively heart of the town to shop, eat out and enjoy a drink at a smart bar or visit the National Maritime Museum for a fascinating glimpse into England's nautical history. Don't forget to pack your beach gear too for the choice of beaches for sunbathing, sandcastling and rock pooling. With golf, tennis, beautiful gardens and hotel spas within easy reach, Hawkesbury is an ideal base for a relaxing break.

Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbour-side pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry viii, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes). For nature lovers there is the Swanpool Nature Reserve, a lagoon and site of special scientific interest teeming with a variety of wildlife. Falmouth offers such a rich variety of landscape and attractions for people of all ages, it is sure to tempt you back time and again.
