Guests say

The Oystercatcher in Falmouth is highly praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and central location. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings and the added bonus of a private garden. While parking can be a challenge, the proximity to local attractions and the thoughtful touches by the owners contribute to a pleasant stay.

Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as modern, clean, and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.

The central location is frequently highlighted, with easy access to the harbour, town centre, and local amenities. Some concerns about street parking and the immediate local area slightly affect the score.

The property is generally regarded as comfortable and well-fitted. However, a few guests noted issues with the mattress and bedroom size, which suggests room for improvement in comfort for some guests.

While the reviews mention modern facilities and a well-equipped property, there is insufficient detail to accurately score maintenance issues, such as the suggested need for a new mattress and parking improvements.

Several reviews express gratitude for the welcome pack and useful items, reflecting the owners' thoughtfulness. However, it's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Nestled in the heart of Falmouth, a bustling town in Cornwall is Oystercatcher, a well-positioned, first-floor apartment. Just paces away from the harbour, a hub of amenities and attractions, and the beach, Kimberley Park offers a contemporary dwelling for two guests, ideal for lone travellers, friends and couples looking to explore the delights of Cornwall. Park outside the apartment in the allocated off-road space before making your way up the internal stairs and into the apartment. Start your break in the well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare romantic meals for two, to be enjoyed around the dining table; on warmer days, set the patio table and take advantage of your outdoor space.

Load the dishwasher and flick on the Smart TV, ready to cosy up for a film night, before climbing into the plush double bed for some rest. Complete your morning routine in the sleek shower room, before planning your itinerary, starting off local in the town, with plenty of shops, eateries, and pubs to tour and benefit from. In the area you'll also locate Falmouth Art Gallery, Falmouth Harbour, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Swanvale Nature Reserve, and Swanpool Beach, all recommended to discover whilst on your travels. Pendennis Castle is also worth a visit, enjoying a coastal vantage point, before hiking to the seafront from Pendennis Head.

By car, stop off at Penryn Museum for a historic activity, or don your walking boots for a trek and afternoon of bird watching at Kennall Vale Nature Reserve, before reaching Truro, the Royal Cornwall Museum and Truro Cathedral, a lovely way of finishing off your day before sundowners. Make memories as a pair at Kimberley Park.

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. There is also a golf course. 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.

    I slept very well while I was there, and I appreciated the location in the heart of Falmouth. I never quite understood the heating system, but pressing 'boost' occasionally ensured that this wasn't a major problem. The drawback for me was the parking. I often found myself trying to find a place to park in the dark, on a hill, in a very tight space. In the end, it seemed easier to use the public car park, which was free from 4pm to 9am.

    Appreciated the lovely ‘welcome pack’ and personable owners.

  • David

    The property had everything we could need and was clean and tidy. The welcome pack was lovely and very welcome. Excellent location for Shops/Buses etc. Parking in road outside was no problem.
