“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.

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.

Mr Glaysher July 2020

“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.

Mr Thew August 2019

“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.”

Mrs Crocker August 2019

“Lovely cottage, very comfortable, great views.”

Mrs Pugh July 2019

“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!

Mr Heinold June 2019

“Localized central Falmouth.”

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

Mr Whitlock May 2019

“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.

- Mr Whitlock, May 2019
Ms Johnston May 2019

“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.

Mrs Boyce May 2019

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

Miss Budd April 2019

“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.

Mrs Evans April 2019

“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 .

- Mrs Evans, April 2019
Miss Kiley August 2018

“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.

- Miss Kiley, August 2018
Miss Edwards July 2018

“Lovely property although could do with a little updating in the main bathroom.”

The showers also didn't drain very well which led to us flooding the ensuite on one occasion. Parking is a pain and it would be helpful if the driveway was put to better use as I assume due to the steep slope it is never used fully. All of this is fairly minor and didn't compromise our holiday although would mean we wouldn't book here again.

- Miss Edwards, July 2018
Mrs Newell June 2018

“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.

- Mrs Newell, June 2018
Mrs Sanders May 2018

Mrs Nation February 2018

“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.

Mr Whittle August 2017

The property

Occupying an elevated yet private position with outstanding views across Falmouth Harbour, Seabien is the perfect spot from which to enjoy the daily spectacle of craft in the bay.

Newly refurbished, this light and spacious property has ample accommodation for four guests with a modern feel complemented by original artworks.

The property is within easy walking distance of the centre of the town which welcomes sailing enthusiasts, artists and students as well as holiday makers to enjoy the many cafes, bars, restaurants and individual shops which line the streets. Falmouth is also home to two sandy beaches; Gyllyngvase which is one of six with blue flag status in Cornwall and Swanpool, both of which have a good cafe/restaurant.

Just a mile further west is a larger beach at Maenporth.

Pleasure boat trips depart daily from the town quay taking in the hidden creeks of the Carrick Roads or across to the pretty village of St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula; a delightful spot to enjoy a drink or meal in one of the waterfront hotels.

Hidden from view, Seabien is in a charming residential street just a few minutes' walk from the town centre; a sloping driveway and flight of steps lead down to the entrance.

The accommodation is light and airy with a bay window in the living room affording spectacular views of the harbour.

A few steps lead down to the two pretty bedrooms; a spacious double bedroom with 5' bed and en-suite bathroom plus a twin bedroom together with a family bathroom making this the ideal base for couples or small families.

The enclosed patio at the rear is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast and the terrace at the front is furnished with comfortable wicker furniture, ideal for sundowners.

Off street parking is available on the sloping driveway for up to two vehicles.
