“We had a lovely time staying at the Lookout everything was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed.”

We enjoyed our stay so much we will definitely return. Very handy to have a parking space, and just a short walk to town. The fresh flowers, milk, tea, and coffee was most welcoming on arrival .Thanks for a lovely stay at the Lookout.

“This property is in a great location and the property was super clean.”

We found it too difficult to find the temporary car park to obtain the proximity card; the entrance is concealed by other parked cars and it’s a one way road, however, once in the property it was great to have a parking space. We were very impressed with the view and the cleanliness. The property would benefit greatly from having have some sort of breakfast bar at the lounge windows; you cannot see the beautiful view unless standing up.

“Very well kept apartment with good view up the estuary and the underground parking in central Falmouth most welcome.”
Mr Pemble August 2020

“Fantastic. Beautiful property ideally situated on the edge of town.”

Easy walking distance to towns bars and restaurants. Very spacious apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Mr Goulding July 2020

“The location was great and the views were amazing.”

I would say that the tv could be updated to a smart tv as there was a very old DVD player which wasn’t the best.
Mrs Rolls August 2019

“The whole experience was really brilliant in all aspects.”

It couldn't have been any closer to all the facilities you could wish for eateries too many to mention & close to the pier where many of the boat trips went from and the Tourist information centre was there and you could book through them or at the many kiosks dotted around. The best part if you wanted to go around the large busy streets you had a shuttle bus that you could use. We used it for free as our concessionary bus passes in our town allowed free travel anywhere but it was only £2 hop off and hop on for other younger adults. Bargain. We even had free travel to Truro from Falmouth with the passes, provided you travelled after 9.30 each day. Most of the buses could be caught at Falmouth to any parts of Cornwall free uses these bus passes.For us it was wonderful. Central to two train stations(town & docks) in the town you were spoilt for choice. We chose to leave the car parked in the accommodation all week as it was in a safe underground car park for the apartment and allowed us to leisurely explore without having to drive everywhere.

“The description is slightly misleading because the stairs to the street that you would visit / go out (the hight Street) would be three flights of stairs.”

The one flight of stairs it refers to in tbe description is a residential street. The apartment has everything you need to enjoy your stay a home from home. The only thing i would change would be the bed in the master bedroom as its very soft, and my preference would be for a firm mattress.
Mr Pinner August 2019

“Really well equipped cottage and a great location.”

Couldn’t fault it.
Mr Holloway May 2019

“The apartment is ideally located for visiting Cornwall, just a few minutes walk down into the busy shopping centre, but also a relaxing view along the estuary.”

With it’s allocated secure parking makes it less stressful and it’s a good location for touring Cornwall. The apartment is well equipped, clean and comfortable with a nice touch of a welcome pack and flowers to greet you on arrival. We have used this apartment on a number of occasions over the years and it is testament to the apartments quality that we will continue to use it in the future.

The property

It's more about boat watching than people watching from The Lookout and from its vantage point overlooking the Falmouth Estuary, this spacious apartment really does live up to its name.

The magnificent harbour below is filled with craft from dinghys to super yachts and even the odd cruise liner or battle ship.

Just moments from the centre of bustling Falmouth, an easy stroll will bring you to boutiques, antique and curio shops and artisan delicatessens.

Bar and café culture is very much alive in the town with a dazzling array of options from cappuccinos and cream teas to cocktails and canapés.

Falmouth is a fantastic destination for families with activities for all weathers; relax on one of the three sandy beaches at Swanpool, Gyllyngvase and Maenporth or try your hand at kayaking, sailing or diving at one of the water sport centres in the town.

The Medieval Pendennis Castle, The National Maritime Museum and Ships and Castles Leisure Centre are also great options for fun on those rainy days.

A boat trip is a must when in Falmouth; departing regularly from the town quay, there are plenty of options for exploring the beautiful hidden creeks of the Carrick Roads or Helford River with stops at pretty riverside inns along the way. The Lookout is part of the prestigious Packet Quays development and standing at the bank of windows in the vast sitting room overlooking the water gives the distinct feeling of being at the bridge of a ship.

A vaulted ceiling adds to the tremendous feeling of space in this room which forms the heart of the apartment.

The kitchen enjoys a similar dramatic outlook and there are two terraces catering for both morning and evening sun, each equipped with garden furniture and colourful plants.
