Gallants is a comfortable base for visiting Cornish gardens and beaches, for walking the coastal path or for just relaxing and watching the activity in the harbour (binoculars provided). You will spot a variety of sea birds, possibly a kingfisher (in winter), harbour seals, small boats, ferries, yachts, naval and cruise ships. For car-free days, we are just a few minutes’ walk from two quays where you can take a ferry to St Mawes, Flushing, Trelissick garden or Truro, or a boat trip up the Fal or Helford rivers. If you can drag yourself away from the ever-changing scene on the water in front of our double windows and balcony, we are well-placed for exploring the beautiful Lizard Peninsula, Roseland Peninsula, Penzance and West Penwith and Cornwall’s north coast from St Ives and Gwithian beach up to Watergate Bay or Padstow – all within an hour’s drive. We have owned and let Gallants for over 20 years and know Falmouth and Cornwall very well. We have lots of information to point guests to the most scenic places, the best restaurants, even where to visit on rainy days!
The spacious living/dining room and kitchen are open plan, with double doors to a balcony overlooking the harbour. The kitchen has integrated appliances – eye-level oven, separate hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer – plus a microwave. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with a superking that converts to twin singles on request. The bathroom has a full-size bath, very roomy walk-in shower with grab rails and a heated towel rail. A utility/cloakroom has a second WC, a washing machine, and folding chairs for use on the balcony. All rooms have heating, which in cooler weather we can switch on ahead of your arrival to ensure the flat is warm and cosy. Gallants is all on one level but is not wheelchair accessible as there is a sloping path with several steps to the front door.

Reviews:
"Gallants has the perfect location and accommodation. It has everything you need. What makes it special is the view from the spacious, comfortable, homely living room with large French doors and a balcony overlooking the harbour. Sitting there with a cup of tea in the morning is the perfect way to unwind. It is blissfully quiet, and yet only a few steps from some great bars and restaurants, and very convenient for the shops. I would definitely like to go back again soon." – Sean, London
"This wonderful comfortable home from home is the best holiday let we have ever experienced. The location is perfect with wonderful views across the harbour. There's so much to do and see in and around Falmouth and the many amazing places to eat out are a stone’s throw from the flat. Everything works like clockwork and Jessica and Cathy have attended to the minutest details. Hard to beat. – Gill & Ramsay, London
“We just wanted to let you know what an enjoyable stay we had in your apartment. The location of Gallants is first class and the parking space a real bonus. We can`t remember ever having stayed in such a well-equipped place with such a welcoming ambience. The views from the balcony were wonderful with an ever-changing scene – ferries back and forth, small boats everywhere and a succession of tug-assisted large ship movements around the harbour. The icing on the cake was watching a kingfisher using the mooring rope below the balcony as a fishing perch, diving for small fish and returning to watch for more! ”— Fred and Susan, Buckinghamshire
“We are all having a fabulous time. We are so happy that we chose Gallants as our Falmouth holiday home. You have thought of everything. We have stayed in quite a few holiday lets and cottages but yours is by far the most homely and best equipped. Thank you so much.” — James, Millie and Emily Rose (age 2), Lincolnshire
“In many years renting holiday homes we've never known such communicative and considerate owners…. We feel that Gallants is a home-away-from-home! Apart from it being so beautiful here, Gallants is so well placed to access everything.”— Julie and Ken, Hampshire
