Location and Surrounding Area

Just a ten-minute walk from the town centre, a three-minute drive from the sandy, Gyllyngvase Beach and just off the A39; Gwel-an-Heylyn is equally suited to those that want to enjoy all that Falmouth offers, or those that want to explore both the south coast and the north coast of Cornwall.

If you can drag yourself away from the calming, contemporary interior of this comfortable apartment and the sublime views then take a stroll around to Falmouth Marina and grab a bite to eat from their restaurant/bar overlooking the hubbub of activity around the pontoons.

Bring a kayak and launch direct from the slipway and grab your morning pastries from Stone’s Bakery by tying up alongside the Prince of Wales Pier. Croissants will never taste the same again.

Gyllyngvase beach in Falmouth. The Sea is blue and people are sitting on the white sand.

For morning dips in the sea head to Swanpool, Gyllyngvase or Maenporth beaches. All served by their own cafes and with restroom facilities and parking.

Falmouth life centres around the harbour. Quirky homeware and gift shops are aplenty. Being a university town and one with a long history in the arts, you may just be taking your own piece of wall decor home too.

Jayne - March 2025

Just perfect - this was our second visit and I really cannot think of a way the owners could improve their holiday apartment. The beds are so comfy - I will be saving up to buy the same ones ! The view from the patios of the water and boats is magical. easy parking and close to Falmouth and Penryn. Beautifully decorated and every possible thing you might need on holiday . Lovely welcoming touches which were very much appreciated . We will definitely book again soon

We had another great Christmas in this gorgeous apartment. Our daughter and her husband, who live locally, joined us for dinner on the day and we enjoyed the comfort, warmth and space plus the seasonal decorations kindly added for us. The weather was stormy but you’d never know; we had the heating on for two short periods the entire week and it was toasty. Gwel-An-Heylyn feels like a home when you walk in and not just because of the cream tea awaiting; it’s just perfect.

Thank you so much for your five-star review. We’re so happy to hear you had another memorable Christmas in Falmouth. It’s lovely that you were able to share the space with your family and we’re glad the comfort and festive touches made it extra special. We can’t wait to welcome you back again. Sending our warmest wishes, Sarah and the team at Cornish Holiday Cottages.

It is a wonderful apartment in a great location.
Anon - June 2024

It's a modern apartment built to a high spec. Couldn't hear the neighbours at all. Good location if you need to use the car because it's close to get out on to the main A road. An easy 20 minute walk into town. The view of the river is partially restricted but the balconies get lovely afternoon and evening sunshine. Beds were really comfortable. Kitchen reasonably well equipped. Less good for me was the underfloor heating which felt rather ineffective. Also, there were so many ornaments everywhere that we had to clear them out of the way to make room for what we needed. We found the dining chairs uncomfortable. All in all though, it was a really nice place to stay and the agents are the best. Efficient, helpful, knowledgable, on the ball.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We’re pleased to hear that Gwel An Heylyn felt homely and that you enjoyed the comfortable beds and sunshine during your stay in Falmouth. As you stayed during the summer the heating was most likely switched off for your comfort. However, the heating is always available for you to adjust as you need and a member of our team is available 24/7 to chat through how to increase the heat. Please do call us if you have questions about heating or anything else as we’re here to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you for your kind words about the apartment and the team. Warm regards, Sarah and the team at Cornish Holiday Cottages

A wonderful apartment, very well equipped. In a peaceful location yet only about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Falmouth. Perfect for two couples.

Response

Thank you so much, Lynne. It's great to hear you had a quiet stay, it is lovely there looking out onto the boats in the marina. Thank you for sharing that you found it close enough to wander to Falmouth’s shops and restaurants, there’s plenty to see. Many thanks, Sarah and all of us at Cornish Holiday Cottages

Our second stay here, and it's still the best apartment we've ever stayed in. The underfloor heating was required this time, it is so warm and efficient.

Mark White - July 2023

We've stayed at some very nice houses over the years we've visited Cornwall, but this is now our favourite. The apartment is superb, very well equipped, well maintained, spacious and spotless. The deck area is perfect for chilling and enjoying the view over the marina. The garage/parking space easily take an SUV. We appreciated the excellent welcome pack. We enjoy the evening walk into Falmouth for dinner (Namaste and Verdant Seafood Bar are favourites). Closer to home The Upper Deck (great food, drink and location) is only five minutes walk away. We'll be back next year. Cheers, Mark & Liz

Debbie, staying at Gwel-an-Heylyn

Our favourite memory, our view from the verandah (and lounge and bedroom) of Gwel-an Heylyn, where we have had our second most amazing holiday and are already booked for next Summer. Such a wonderful ‘escape’ in the most beautiful holiday home.
