Summary

The ultimate coastal retreat set moments from the sparkling sea and pristine sands of Gyllyngvase beach. Let the gentle morning call of seabirds rouse you before dawn, in time for almost ethereal dips or sunrise yoga on the beach. Discover new underwater worlds in Castle Beach’s well-known rock pools and end the day with a sundowner picnic at Pendennis Point. Thoroughly revitalised, return to your bolthole to wash off salty skin using the al fresco patio shower.

Location and Surrounding Area

Foodies will not be disappointed with the host of eateries at their fingertips. From divine fish suppers served with a seaview at Hooked on the Rocks, and sweet cream teas with fresh strawberries at Dolly’s Tea Room, to seasonal, creative menus presented with flair at distinguished Restaurant Mine.

Clamber onto your feet with a brave wobble and stand tall above the water as you gaze back towards the shoreline and embrace a new way to explore the Cornish coast. For SUP fanatics, this has to be one of the best places to stay for paddleboarding in Cornwall. Take a 2-hour kayak adventure to discover hidden caves, hidden reefs and historic shipwrecks. Stroll to Swanpool Beach for their famous clotted cream ice creams and on to Maenporth, a sandy cove perfect for swimming.

The Helford River remains one of Cornwall’s unspoilt corners and has something special for everyone, whether you’re seeking active days exploring the creeks or enjoying the calmer pace of life within its subtropical gardens and collection of hidden coves.

Further afield, the rugged Lizard coastline awaits and the north coast surf beckons to be ridden. Crabbing in St Mawes, wildlife watching on sea safaris and evening beach barbecues will provide families and friends with memories they will cherish forever.

Jon Bennett - November 2024

Really pleased with our family holiday at gylly. The house was just what we needed and the staff behind the booking were super helpful. Would definitely recommend and use myself again. Thankyou very much.
Angela - September 2024

The staff are so helpful and friendly and quick to respond to queries; the many different houses we have stayed in over the years were great; we particularly liked the one in Mawnan Smith for its garden and homeliness and our latest one in Falmouth, for its brilliant location - close to the shops, the beaches, the cliff path, and gardens and the Pavillion, with boats and buses within easy reach since we do not drive.

Very nice property. Comfortable and well equipped. Lovely position for the Pavillion, gardens and beach. Short walk from town and all amenities.

What a fabulous home from home Gylly really is. We are so pleased it will be open for many more weeks in 2025. Warmest regards, all the team at Cornish Holiday Cottages

Gylly was such an incredible stay for our visit to the Falmouth sea shanty festival. So clean, great space for seven adults and two small children. All of the bedrooms are a good size, plenty of bathroom facilities and kitchen was perfect. You can walk to Gylly beach in five minutes and the town in ten, the train station is 15 minutes walk and there is on street parking right outside. We also walked from the house to Pendennis castle which is worth a visit. First time booking with Cornish holiday cottages and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. They were extremely helpful throughout.

We had another great holiday in Falmouth in the beautiful Gylly. The house was incredibly well equipped, exactly as shown on the website photos. Gylly is perfectly situated to be close to the beach in minutes and a stroll into town, while being in a quiet location. We have booked through Cornish Holiday Cottages for many years now and have always had great service. Would highly recommend.

A lovely warm family house. Perfect for all of us in every way. The kitchen is exceptional with every need catered for. Beds were very comfortable. We would like to book for next year depending on our family circumstances. Judy & Mervyn Griffiths
