Seabien

We had a pleasant short break at Sea Bien despite the variable weather.

The house is very well equipped with everything you need, and the beds are very comfortable. We had travelled by train so didn’t need to park a car on the terrifyingly steep driveway - fortunately there are also some steps down through the very pretty little garden at the front. Thank you, Vanessa and Simon!

Home from home

Couldn't fault the property in any way except for the steepness of the drive and although saying there was space for two vehicles to park was true, in reality it is very difficult for just one vehicle.

The cottage was beautiful spotlessly clean i would recommend it to all my friends and family

Beautifully cared for and nicely equipped cottage that truly felt like a home from home.

Very kind proprietors - we loved everything about our stay in Falmouth and would love to come back.

Fantastic location with views of the bay and easy walk into town.

Parking available which was a definite plus in a heavily congested area albeit fairly tight. Two bed house which was well presented. Kitchen had most amenities and utensils and heating worked well. On a less favourable level, we found the beds too soft and a bit uncomfortable. There was some small areas of mould in the walls in some of the rooms and the owner did visit unannounced which seemed unusual. Despite these points, we enjoyed our stay.

Very comfortable accommodation with everything you need.

Superb location for easy access to pubs and restaurants. Lots of useful local information from the friendly owners who live near-by. All making for a perfect holiday.

Accommodation was spot on, comfortable, attractive, handy spot for the town, lovely view of the estuary.

Welcome goodies were a nice touch. Owners were very helpful when we needed some assistance. would definitely recommend

******PERFECT IN EVERY WAY******

A very comfortable, spacious and well equipped house.

It has superb views from the lounge of the Fal estuary and is close enough to walk into Falmouth town centre.

Swabian was a wonderful holiday property to stay in.

A lovely house, the owners have given it a very welcoming feel with everything you would need home from home, and some personal touches. Great location for exploring Falmouth and beyond.

Seabien provided a very pleasant environment for our stay, but with such fine weather accommodation probably isn't tested to the full.

Big plus points are: the very quiet location; relaxing outdoor area with view of the harbour; warm and light living area (sunny most of our stay though); comfortable beds; good sized kitchen; decent sized TV and sound system also. The parking may be a challenge to some who don't like reversing between posts, but Penwerris Terrace is a very quiet road so you can take your time. Easy to find and only one street back from the harbour front. Overall a comfortable 8/10. Probably 9/10 if parking easier -, but it's Falmouth and at least it is off the road.

A lovely place to stay.

So close to the town. Very comfortable

This lovely home had everything we could need and more .

A really easy walk into Falmouth , which is a really lovely town . Easy access to lots of great locations . A super place to stay .

Great stay.

Friendly, helpful hosts. Perfect bungalow in a great location,. Fresh Daffodils and bottle of wine welcome was a lovely touch.

We had a lovely stay at Seabien.

Great property, very well equiped, really comfortable, ideally located with a lovely view.

More spacious than expected, spotlessly clean and nicely furnished.

Would happily stay here again. Location is very central and has good views over the harbour.

The property was situated in walking distance into Falmouth town and accessible to tour the Cornwall coast.

It was home from home with everything to make our stay perfect. I would strongly recommend Seabian as an excellent holiday choice.

The house was amazing very well equipped and very comfortable.

View was amazing. We would definitely come again. As with most positions in falmouth the access to both the street and the house is very steep .

The house was fabulous and in a wonderful location, only a 5 - 10 minutes or so walk to the main centre of Falmouth.

It was incredibly well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. The owners, Simon and Vanessa, were lovely people who wanted our stay to be a pleasurable one - which it was. We would have no hesitation in staying here again if we returned to Falmouth.

Quiet location close to harbour and ferries.

Private driveway a bonus and not too difficult to access. Well equipped and maintained. Hosts welcoming and helpful.

We had a fantastic stay in Seabien.

Vanessa was very welcoming and the cottage is incredibly clean, well equipped and comfortable. Highly recommend. Falmouth is our favourite place to stay in Cornwall. Great for walking, eating out, art and films.

Seabien is an amazing cottage as are the owners who are so very friendly, helpful and accommodating, the view of the harbour is mesmerising, its very near to the centre for shops and restaurants, the cottage is very clean and well equipped, so much room and all the rooms are very large, clean and well equipped, I really like the fact that you can get your car off the road so its safe on the drive, the feels so homely and relaxing, we had a fantastic time and will be back.

We where very pleased with Seabien the place is ideally situated close to Falmouth town Centre, so you can walk in and out but far enough outside that it is quiet (apart from the seagull's).

the parking is interesting if you have a large car

Fantastic place to stay near the town

A very interesting house to stay in which is roomy, very clean, and close to the harbour and town, and great to be able to walk there.

Falmouth is lovely place to be, with spectacular sea views, walks and lots to see and do, and plenty of visits within a short drive. Recommend a river trip on the Cornish Pleasure Cruises Dixie Belle...the commentary was comedy gold! Parking is fine at Siebien and just needs care reversing ono the drive, but glad we took the fiesta as the Falmouth streets are narrow and there are lots of parked cars. We really enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful house inside and out with amazing views.

Everything very organised and spotlessly clean.

We really enjoyed our stay at Seabien, it's a lovely roomy property with a nice view over the estuary and it's located close to the town.

Everything was provided and it was a lovely touch by the owners to leave us some wine, biscuits and some daffodils on the table. In past reviews, the steep drive is mentioned a lot, yes, it is steep and you really do need to reverse on, but it didn't cause us any issues. I would and will use this property again and fully recommend.

Fantastic location.

Easy to leave the car for a few days whilst exploring on foot/ferries/train/bus. The cottage is more spacious than the photos indicate and was spotlessly clean. Kind and helpful owners. I would say the drive is only suitable for one car unless you have a 4x4 because our car blocked the top of the drive in order to get out because the rest of the drive is very steep. It is also quite narrow at the top of the drive. BUT you can park on the road outside the property free of charge.

Excellent property with great facilities.

Main drawback was parking at top of very steep drive

Absolutely beautiful cottage situated in a perfect location of Falmouth with breath taking view from the cottage, 5 min drive to a local beach, town center 5 mins walk away.

Lovely restaurants and beautiful views everywhere. Will 100% be going back in the future. The hosts were accommodating and very helpful at all times

We have stayed at dozens of holiday rental properties over the years and this was one of the best.

It is so well located just 5 minutes from Falmouth town centre and yet on a very quiet road. Once parked (which despite some visitor comments to the contrary is easy, as long as you can reverse park) we had no need to use our car all week with long walks straight from the door or using the ferries, buses or train and walking back to Seabien. Seabien is exceptionally well equipped with plenty of cutlery, crockery etc. We found it very clean all over too - not just the obvious like the bathroom and kitchen - but everywhere. The owners live close by and we were encouraged to get in touch with Vanessa should we need anything or any advice about walks/best places to eat out etc. We like to stay in different locations and never return to the same place again - Seabien could well be an exception.

We really enjoyed staying at Seabien.

We couldn't fault anything and would really like to return at some point.

Well appointed property with amble space for 4 of us.

Everything we needed to cook meals in the kitchen and a stylish and comfortable lounge to hang out in. Good location for walking into Falmouth town centre and lots of information on the area in a clearly presented file. Would love to return in the summer but really enjoyed there being a Christmas tree as it felt like our Christmas had begun with picking up our daughter from university and staying here for 3 days before driving us all home.

A beautiful HOME, we miss being there, with the most hospitable charming generous kind hosts, thank you, so much for a truly wonderful stay.

Kitsa Kostas

We loved our stay at Seabien.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful and offered great suggestions on local shops, activities or walks. The cottage is lovely, comfortable and well appointed, special mention for the kitchen which is very well equipped for a rental, down to a salad spinner! We enjoyed the patio with the beautiful view of the bay, perfect for pre-dinner drinks or morning coffee. We did have a challenge with the steep driveway and elected to park our rental car on the street. Falmouth is charming and an easy place from which to explore Cornwall. We would gladly return to Seabien for another stay.

Great position / location, well presented with good harbour views from the bay window and patio.

Steep (rather than sloping) driveway wasn't an issue for us. Friendly owners were very helpful. Would recommend to friends and family.

The property, location and the owner provided everything and more than we expected.

The split level bungalow was bright and tastefully furnished. The location was close to all amenities and the owner provided small but greatly appreciated touches upon arrival. I agree with many comments about the steepness of the parking arrangement but this should not detract from the overall benefits of Seabien.

Lovely place, fantastic bungalow, loads to do.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable, great views.

We had a lovely time here, great location and near the harbour, the property was in a built up area of Falmouth, but was so private (enclosed).

We loved the patio area, and the sitting room, 2 bathrooms which is ideal for a family of 4, the bedrooms are a nice size and furniture lovely in the main bedroom but missing a dressing table, we did not like the drive to the property it was very steep!

Localized central Falmouth.

Harbour, shops, restaurants within 5 - 10 minutes by feet. Wonderful scenery, nice ferry trips,

Lovely cottage with superb views over Falmouth harbour- modern decor and very comfortable.

Delightful holiday cottage - beautifully equipped and very comfortable, and a lovely welcome from the owners.

Great to be within walking distance of the town centre and ferries. The perfect base for a holiday in Falmouth and the area.

Very helpful and friendly hosts.

Excellent accommodation.Clean, warm and well equipped, beautiful views over estuary and close to all amenities.Parking challenging at first sight but actually not a problem. With out doubt the best place we have stayed in over fifty years of self catering.

I think the steep parking situation needs to be highlighted for those with mobility issues but we found it absolutely fine and workable.

The cottage itself was beautiful, very clean, warm and extremely well equipped. The owners were delightful and very helpful. Location was excellent as a base for exploring all of Cornwall and close to restaurants and shops. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’ll be back i’m sure.

The property was clean ,tastefully decorated and well appointed .

The major problem was the parking . It stated parking for two vehicles which certainly wasn't true. It was possible to park one small car but not a bigger car that we had . Much as we liked the property we wouldn't book it again for this reason .

Property well placed for central Falmouth, close to water, shops, pubs and restaurants.

One first rate pub practically at the end of the road!!! First class.

Location of cottage was excellent for going into Falmouth taking a steady walk 20min.

Vanessa and Simon were wonderful and should be very proud of the standard of this wonderful cottage which we will go back to.

Accommodation was fabulous as was the location and the views.

Really loved it - will return soon.

The owner's Vanessa and Simon, were extremely friendly and helpful.

Our third visit to Seabien, and I am sure not our last.

A real home from home, cosy in the cold weather, quiet and peaceful yet located centrally, an easy walk from the centre of Falmouth.

The cottage was very luxurious even down to the kingsize towels!

Exceptionally clean, beautiful views and well equipped. We loved Falmouth and the surrounding areas.
