“The accommodation was spacious, clean, well equipped and perfectly located with great views from the sitting area and balcony.”

We wouldn't have changed anything.

- Mr Garfield-ford, September 2019
“The cottage is delightful and has a lovely view over the harbour.”

It is very well equipped and provides an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall. The garage is suitable only for a very small car and so parking is an issue. Public carparks are some distance away and street parking is restricted so that involves constant relocation of cars.

- Mr Davies, August 2019
“Good well equipped and comfortable accommodation.”

garage is really small , just got my mini in. Beautiful views but shame the windows were dirty. Could have done with comfortable chairs on the balcony to enjoy the views for longer , but would definitely recommend.

- Mr Stranks, July 2019
“Fabulous location, easily walked to centre of town, pier, shops and great selection of restaurants.”

Extremely comfortable cottage, very well equipped including a wide range of dvds and books. Loved the views from the upstairs living area.

- Mrs Greenfield, June 2019
“We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Slipway Cottage.”

There is everything...and more....that anyone should need whilst staying there. The cottage is also very near to the little streets of Falmouth. However we had not expected to be so overlooked by other properties, and thought we would have been able to walk by the water. The courtyard area is rather claustrophobic, and the garage is a VERY tight fit! The steps up to the property are very steep, and slippy. The steps up to the main street are even worse...MUCH steeper, and about 30 of them, (I didn't count them....too busy trying not to fall down them!). It should be made clearer that the property is NOT suitable for children, or the disabled. We have stayed in lovely cottages with Sykes, and this one too was very nice, but not quite as expected.

- Mrs Gardner, May 2019
“As a family we all loved the location of the property and the cleanliness of the cottage was fantastic.”

The only thing that is generally missing from all the places we have stayed at is a radio. That's why we always bring our own. Apart from that, cannot fault Sykes cottages for the type of properties on your website.

- Mr Greig, May 2019
“We thoroughly enjoyed our week here.”

The cottage is very well equipped, warm, comfortable and one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. The welcome pack was particularly appreciated.

- Mrs Blunt, May 2019
“Amazing property as always from Sykes had everything and more that we needed ...”

Amazing property as always from Sykes had everything and more that we needed would definitely recommend Sykes for holiday accommodations we will obviously use them again

- Mr Sturges, May 2019
“We have stayed at this property 6 times now.”

The location is lovely. We feel that the flat needs a bit of money spending on it. The sofas are beginning to look tired and also you have to constantly "plump up" the cushions. The living area seems to get a bit more cluttered each year and we are mystified by the number of giant "carpet cubes" which take up so much floor space.

- Mr Maw, March 2019
“A very well equipped,comfortable 'cottage' and in a great location on the town centre but not very convenient for those with mobility problems as there are 20 steps to the cottage entrance and a steep incline (or even more difficult steps) to access the main street.”

It's not a cottage in the traditional sense, more of an inverted duplex house with a flat roof on a large harbour front redevelopment-the view from the living room is a partial harbour one but no views from the GF bedrooms. It's at the top end of prices for a January break so we were somewhat disappointed as it wasn't a frontline property and the decor is in need of a freshening up particularly white woodwork and some walls Parking was a trial-the garage only has room for a small/medium family car and dire warnings about penalties for parking in the..empty..courtyard Despite these comments we had a great stay..with an extra night sorted out by Sykes due to snowbound Cornwall

- Mr Tranter, January 2019
“The cottage worked perfectly for us and we had a great weekend break.”

- Mrs Fellows, November 2018
“It is in my top five of holiday let’s in 40 years!”

The view,the layout the cleanliness.....everything was provided including a cream tea...thank you very much.We even had roses on arrival....these things make such a difference. It feels like a home and not a holiday let with books dvdsand plenty of beautiful bits and pieces around. Everything has been thought of and we really appreciated it. Only one small thing...for us (although they were good quality) the mattresses were too soft. My husband is 6ft 7 and because they are split mattresses he couldn’t get really comfortable but everything else was amazing. Thank you so very much....we have already passed details to friends.

- Mrs Rees-jerram, July 2018
“Location brilliant and accommodation spot on”

- Mrs Bull, June 2018
“The accommodation was superb in every respect - close to Falmouth town centre, beautiful view and very peaceful and quiet!”

Couldn't have been bettered.

The property

Aptly named Slipway Cottage is enviably located beside the gardens in the prestigious waterside development of Packet Quays just fifty feet from the slipway.

Approached from a courtyard by a flight of stone steps one cannot fail to be impressed by the atmosphere created within this tasteful mix of luxury cottages and apartments wherein nautical elements prevail.

A stylish reversed level cottage with stunning views over waterways busy with colourful sail boats and vessels of all kinds, a unique holiday experience awaits. Displaying a superb double aspect the living room is effectively unified into separate lounge and dining areas by an integral staircase.

An undeniably relaxing space smartly furnished with deep comfy sofas in beach themed stripes on one side and a dining room opening onto a new slick, uncluttered kitchen on the other.

Large windows and doors open onto a balcony which virtually spans the frontage on two sides provide a choice of vantage points from which to enjoy the ever changing scene.

Downstairs balconied bedrooms boast super king beds which separate into twin beds for versatility, hand crafted furnishings and fabrics in sea washed colours.

An en-suite shower room and lavish bathroom provide excellent facilities. With a history bound up with the sea, part of Falmouth's charismatic appeal is undoubtedly its magnificent harbour and scenic waterfront.

Bustling narrow streets are home to a range of fine restaurants, old inns interesting shops, and the Maritime Museum.

There is a private garage (access is 2.12m wide by 2m high) beside the courtyard for parking one car.
