Location and Surrounding Area

Wind Rose sits tucked along the quayside of Port Pendennis Marina, a modern gated development of homes and apartments designed to embrace and showcase the nautical ambience of Falmouth. The houses of Campbeltown Way were designed to echo the pastel-coloured houses of Port Grimauld, the Côte-d’Azur town where sailors famously step from the deck directly into their gardens. For this reason, Wind Rose is a brilliant choice as a shoreside base for travelling sailors.

Step out from the house towards Discovery Quay, Falmouth’s hub for all the events that take place throughout the year. Here the stage is set for performances as part of the International Sea Shanty Festival and the Falmouth Oyster Festival. From the quaysides of Falmouth, boat trips can be taken along the river Fal, towards St Mawes or Flushing, and to Truro or the magnificent National Trust house Trelissick on the banks of the Carrick Roads.

A short walk from Wind Rose, the waves lap against the shoreline of Falmouth’s three sandy beaches. Spend the day swimming from the water’s edge or sunbathing against the sea wall watching boats drift across the bay and gulls wheeling across the sky.

In Falmouth, cobbled streets are lined with award-winning restaurants and cafe’s, and the thriving arts scene ensures independent shops and galleries reign supreme. With the harbourside only ever a short step away from the hustle and bustle of the town, it’s hard to forget that you are close to the sparkling water.

Retreat into the wilderness by taking a drive out to the Helford River, where ancient woodland runs alongside the waterline. Here, stride out along the footpaths that line the water’s edge, meandering through meadows and over beaches, stopping into country pubs along the way. Alongside the Helford river, you’ll find Trebah and Glendurgan gardens, where exotic plants thrive in the temperate Cornish climate.

There was nowhere to store food and we have never been anywhere before which has provided so few provisions. Our biggest concern was how slippery the shower was. In fact we went out and bought a shower mat. On the plus side it was conveniently located and very peaceful which was a huge plus as I am recuperating from a year of cancerctreatment

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the area to be calming during your recovery. We are sorry to hear that you felt there was not enough space in the kitchen. We find the kitchen cupboards useful for dry food storage, and the tall fridge freezer provides plenty of space for chilled foods. Upon your arrival, we provide the necessities to make a good cup of Cornish tea, a pack of biscuits to dunk and local fresh cut flowers. Since the pandemic and as a self-catering accommodation provider we have removed shared items such as salt, pepper, and oil, and we apologise if this caused any disappointment. Sorry that there was not a shower mat for you at the property, a non-slip shower mat is standard in all our properties and if you ever can’t find it please do call us as we will always replace this for you. Many thanks The CHC Team.

We recently stayed at Wind Rose in Falmouth - a delightful property situated a couple of minutes out of the centre of Falmouth, in a small marina close to the Maritime Museum as well as plenty of restaurants and bars. The patio area overlooking the marina is well sheltered so, even though the temperature for June was below what was expected, it was lovely and warm in the Cornish sunshine. The property is bright, modern and airy but there is also a really homely feel to the property, with lots of little trinkets, many nautical based, throughout the property. A shout out to the well stocked kitchen - plenty of pots and pans and great kitchen knives (I always bring my own as holiday properties, in my experience, never provide decent knives - but not at Wind Rose!). I think the owners might want to think about re-feathering the two large sofas as they are not very supportive but other than that we loved the property and would definitely love to stay again very soon.

Wind Rose was a really lovely house, well maintained and fully equipped for our family stay. It was in a very quiet peaceful location by the edge of the Marina. We loved sitting on the patio, enjoying breakfast outdoors or afternoon drinks, watching the boats come and go.

Response

We love Wind Rose too, as do the owners, who take such care of the house. I am delighted you were able to enjoy some time there and soak up the maritime activity. Please do come and stay again. All the best, Emily and Team

Location is perfect for a trip to Falmouth easy walk into the town and all it offers turn left and walk to the beaches . The House has a great location within Port Pendennis with patio seating overlooking the marina ,inside very spacious clean with excellent beds and showers can thoroughly recommend would be a full 5 stars but having stayed at quite a few properties it’s the only one that didn’t have kitchen foil and paper kitchen towel plus basic condiments (salt &pepper) maybe nit picking but had to mention it Overall another great holiday very good weather and the Staff at Cornish Holiday Cottages brilliant as always

Response

Thank you for sharing your experience at Wind Rose, it’s such a fantastic spot to relax. Since the pandemic we had to remove food items such as, salt and pepper. Occasionally, previous guests may leave items such as kitchen roll, tin foil etc for the next visitor but we can’t always guarantee these will be available. On our website we have a helpful section called ‘Preparing for your stay’ where you can find a list of things that are included and those that you need to bring with you. It’s always a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad our team helped make your holiday special. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon, Sarah and the Cornish Holiday Cottages team.

Although the property was very clean & tidy there were several things that were not right.: The lock on the front door was faulty. The downstairs shower room radiator did not heat up. The stay open bar on the patio doors was broken. The room thermostat controlling the heating system was very difficult to understand as there were no instructions for this, The radiator thermostats were no working correctly & some of the radiators did no heat up at all. Someone needs to rectify all these problems!

Response

Hi Michael, we are really disappointed to read your review. We pride ourselves on providing a high standard at Cornish Holiday Cottages and I am sorry that you felt we have not met your expectations. I know we chatted on the telephone regarding the front door lock being temperamental and the bathroom towel rails not working but you said you would prefer for these to be resolved after your stay. We are grateful that you brought these items to our attention as the towel rail was a faulty switch as you suspected. I am not aware that we knew about any problems with any other radiators or heating at the property. We have heating engineers on contract to fix such issues very quickly so please do always bring them to our attention and we will resolve this for you. The lock has always been a little bit fiddly so this is being replaced and we were unaware of the patio door stay, so this will also be repaired. You have stayed with us for many years so it is very disappointing to receive your review. We hope you will stay with us again in the future.

If possible it would be a four and half star rating.. We felt that both showers should have grab handles. No cupboard space in the kitchen for cereals, condiments etc.
Jason Edwards - October 2021

Wow, what a fabulous place. Brilliant location in Port Pendennis Marina. Spacious well appointed living area. A fantastic outdoor terrace which was perfect for breakfast, lunch and evening drinks. Great kitchen and bathrooms and really comfy beds. We’ve been coming to Falmouth for around 20 years and this is pathetic best we’ve stayed in
