Puffins

This beautifully-designed studio for two provides magnificent views from throughout the flat across the Fal Estuary with its network of creeks and rivers and colourful boating activities. Puffins' cathedral high walls are a showcase for works by Cornish and Scillonian artists, and the terrace garden provides pleasure in all weather. With secured parking, free broadband and telephone, and every modern convenience, Puffins provides unparalleled value in Falmouth's choicest location.

Situated in historic Packet Quays, Puffins is an ideal base all year round for visiting any of Falmouth's many attractions on foot, including the National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle, beaches and many wonderful gardens. Alternatively explore the traditional waterways by ferry, boat tour or chartered yacht. Or, as any easy day trip, visit any of Cornwall's famous sites, from Tintagel and the Eden Project to Goonhilly and Land's End.

Within minutes walk of pubs and superb restaurants; banks and supermarkets; galleries, antiques and craft shops. Those who enjoy cooking will find fresh seafood, choice produce and baked goods in Falmouth's bustling town centre. The RCYC, Falmouth Marina, and Ships & Castles Leisure Centre are in walking distance; fine golf courses and National Trust gardens are nearby.

Puffins was entirely refurbished to a very high standard by new owners in Spring 2008 for their own comfort and pleasure when in the UK, and is meticulously maintained. Guests are constantly impressed with the attention to detail and appreciative of the many small extras provided to make them feel welcome and at home. One of our most popular properties, Puffins fills quickly and needs to be booked early.

Guest Comments...

"Loved our stay at Puffins. Everything about the apartment was perfect particularly the welcome tea and biscuits, just what we needed after a long drive. Have much enjoyed sitting on the patio particularly in the glorious early morning sunshine. "

"Wow! The apartment is great. You've thought of everything. By far the best place we have stayed at."

" We discovered Puffins on an internet search and wow what a discovery. Your own web site gave such a detailed description that when we arrived we thought we had been here before. The lovely flowers and welcome tray were much appreciated. The apartment is excellent with great thought having been given to individual elements so that they come together cleverly in a wonderful design. We particularly loved the panel of themed maritime paintings on the large wall. The view through the cathedral style window is stunning."
