We had a wonderfull stay at carvinack. We could not fault the property very clean & comfortable. It is just far enough out of town to be quiet in the evening, but only about a mile walk into town & beaches. lots of restraunts & pubs with the beerwolf being a favourite. overall a great place to stay 😊

Superb Property Superb Hosts Superb Experience
So glad for spacious off street parking in a town with lots of on-street parking. Easy secure entry from excellent check-in instructions from Andrew & Rachel. First impression was it smells like a breath of fresh air. So clean & welcoming. It feels like you're at home but someone tidied your house before you arrived! Beautifully appointed. Not a single thing out of place. Lovely bottle of bubbly & fresh milk in the fridge. I had a cuppa from the teabags & local Cornish shortbread provided within my first 10 mins at the lovely table with fresh flowers. A family member moved to Falmouth for Uni and when she walked in she said "Wow, this is beautiful." And it truly is. I cooked at the property and had everything I needed. Sparkling clean kitchen and bathrooms. Rachel and Andrew have thought of everything. Even how to manage recycling and household waste. Outdoor seating was really lovely to have with the weather being very warm. Property is very secure but we didn't have any worries in that direction. Neighbourhood seems very local and friendly. All household linens are very high quality. The bedroom had so much storage and plenty of hangers in both wardrobes. The bed itself was extremely comfortable, plenty of pillows & a duvet like a cloud. I hope to return many times to Rachel and Andrew's awesome property. This is a lesson in exactly how a rental property should make you feel. Relaxed, refreshed, rewarded. So many lovely, thoughtful touches. Simply perfect.

We had an excellent stay at Andrew and Rachel's cottage. Very clean and comfortable. The cottage was a perfect fit for our stay as we enjoyed exploring the Cornish countryside. Andrew provided us with great advice and was always available whenever we had questions. We highly recommend. Thank you both!!

Top marks all round, very clean and well equipped, very relaxing quiet atmosphere, all in excellent newly refurbished condition, hosts couldn't have been more helpful - being there on arrival and again when I had a car problem the evening before leaving when Andrew went to get a new wing mirror glass first thing next morning and then altered it and stuck it on as a temporary measure so I could drive home

A very well appointed immaculate house
It was a very pleasant surprise to find some lovely goodies and Prosecco on our arrival. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. The lovely house has everything you could possibly need and was pristinely clean. It’s very well positioned for travel down into the town with either train or bus should one not want to walk. Falmouth is very interesting and there are lots of things to do round about. Would love to come back to Carvinack should we be invited to the shanty festival again. Highly recommended

Lovely place to stay
The property has a lovely, modern decor throughout. Bedding provided was of good quality and plenty of cushions and throws to snuggle up on the sofa or outside space. Everything you could need is provided. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen equipment, have found bent knives and poor pans so many times in the past I usually pack my own. The bottle of wine, milk and biscuits on arrival were a thoughtful touch. Loved the lication

Everything we needed for our stay and more. Extremely comfortable and clean accommodation. Great hosts. Good location for walking into town and train station close by too. We parked up the car for most of our stay. Quiet residential area. Lots to see and do. Very good fish and chip shop nearby. Try Boo Koos on The Moor for very good food, fantastic quality and a local company too. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Superb House
My wife and I stayed here for 6 days in June. The house is ideal for 2 people as it has absolutely everything you might need. It has all home comforts and all the fitments are of an extremely high standard. It also has private parking on the drive in front of the house. The location is approximately a 15 minute walk to both the town centre with its harbour and the beaches,so it made an ideal base for everything in Falmouth. The hosts live next door so are on hand if needed. Andrew met us there upon arrival and was very helpful with information of the local area. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Excellent Property
‘Excellent’ can be an overused word, much like ‘luxurious’. However, I cannot fault this property: the location is great, service from the owners is impeccable, all amenities (and more besides!) are included. My husband and I have stayed in MANY holiday lets over the years, both overseas and in UK, and have learnt to take along with us certain items that are regularly ‘missing’, eg sharp knives, scissors and extra tea towels. In this property, everything imaginable was provided, and we needed none of our personal stores! We also appreciated the many extra touches, such as fresh flowers and provisions. We cannot imagine that any guests would be disappointed with this Falmouth gem.
