Sea Song, Falmouth / Flushing / Helford - Sleeps 4

Step straight from the soft sand of sheltered Gyllyngvase into the cool, contemporary development of The Liner. Inspired by the prow of a ship breaking through the waves, the Liner’s impressive exterior is a nod to Falmouth's strong maritime past and present. Inside your fourth floor, beach front apartment, lead into the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, where full height glass doors welcome in that Cornish light. The stylish modern kitchen is fully fitted with everything a budding chef could need to conjure up a delicious Cornish supper, and with an array of fresh produce available from local artisans and shops such as Argal Farm Shop, testing out your culinary skills becomes a real treat for all. From the comfiest four poster master bed dressed in fresh whites, to the marine blue details, the two tastefully designed bedrooms, each with access to the balcony, embrace their coastal views, creating an 'on board' feel for a blissful start to the day. Two contemporary bathrooms complete the luxury ambiance.

Slide back the full height glass doors from the living space and either bedroom to extend your holiday footprint onto the spacious private balcony with views of the landscaped park, sandy beach and of course sparkling sea. Promising golden sand, calm waters and a rich seafaring heritage, fabulous Falmouth is a vibrant town, full of delights for guests of all ages. Falmouth hosts the annual International Sea Shanty Festival, so guests really can embrace the Sea Song. From your holiday door, head straight down to Gylly, a sheltered, blue flag beach perfect for watersports, swimming or even a session of yoga on the shore. Children will love exploring the rock pools at low tide and guests of all ages can kick back and relax with a sundown drink at popular Gylly Beach Cafe. The centre of town is just a five-minute stroll away and the streets are lined with interesting shops and galleries that spill down to the harbour where boats of all sizes dock side by side. The growing foodie scene only adds to the allure of this lovely town; restaurants offer everything from Italian to Japanese to the freshest of seafood on the waterfront. For a touch of heritage, must visit attractions include Pendennis Castle (a lovely, 20 minute coastal walk from Gylly beach) and the National Maritime Museum, where you can view Falmouth harbour from the 100ft lookout tower, or descend to the impressive underwater gallery and watch coastal creatures float by. If day trips are on the agenda, Trebah Gardens is a beautiful sub tropical valley garden bursting with exotic blooms, and the Roseland Peninsula is truly magical with rolling headlands and secluded fishing coves. After a day spent in the hazy sunshine, or embracing a colder, quieter, but equally as beautiful Cornwall in winter, the balcony begs you to snuggle up on the outdoor chairs and sink into an evening of great conversation.
