Snaptrip says

Compass Point in Falmouth is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and comfortable beds. Its location is appreciated for proximity to beaches and local attractions, though some guests noted a car is necessary. The property is dog-friendly, with thoughtful touches like basic provisions on arrival. Some feedback suggests room for improvement in maintenance and on-site facilities.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests generally found the property clean and well-maintained, with only minor suggestions for deeper cleaning in specific areas like bathroom fans and grouting.

The location is considered great for accessing local beaches and attractions, though some guests mentioned the need for a car and the challenge of walking to the beach with young children.

The property is described as comfortable with modern fittings, though there are mixed reviews about bed comfort, with some finding them too soft or different from what they're used to.

While the property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, there are comments about the need for minor repairs and updates, such as a broken can opener and TV remote. The on-site bar and restaurant received mixed reviews, and there was no mention of other facilities to accurately score this category.

The owners' thoughtfulness is highlighted by the provision of basic necessities upon arrival, which was highly appreciated by guests. However, it should be noted that such gestures are a courtesy and not guaranteed.

About this property

This well appointed terrace cottage at Pendra Loweth purpose built village is less than a mile from a sandy beach in Falmouth and boasts onsite facilities of splash pool and children's play area in communal grounds with tennis courts. Set over two floors, this modern cottage provides comfortable accommodation for families and friends in a pretty setting within easy reach of the coast and resort attractions. On the ground floor, the open plan living room makes a social space with sitting and dining areas and kitchen, there is also a bathroom with shower, basin and WC. The first floor has a family bathroom and two double bedrooms and a twin. Patio doors from the living room open onto a paved patio with garden furniture. Enjoy a game of on the all weather courts! For the keen walker, the coastal path is only a mile away starting at Maenpoth or Swanpool, enjoy the scenic views. North Helford and Falmouth are perhaps the quintessential Cornish visitor destinations; a mix of beach, creek and woodland serve some of our most interesting and historic villages and towns. Falmouth itself is home to the National Maritime Museum, visitors will enjoy an amble through the narrow streets and possibly a boat trip across the River Fal or up the river towards Truro. Compass Point makes a great base for discovering this part of Cornwall.

Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbourside pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry viii, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes).

    Great to see some improvements made since we stayed last year. Thank you for a lovely break.

  • Sarah

    It has everything you could possibly need and more. Only thing I would suggest is updating the guide to show that dogs are allowed on the beaches close pretty much all year except July and August. Will defo recommend this place to my family and friends. Thank you again.

    The property does need some investment, new sofas, the can opener is broken (we didn’t break it), the beds aren’t comfortable. There are some areas needing a proper clean like the fans in the bathroom, grouting - these didn’t detract from our stay, just feedback. If we come back to Cornwall we will very likely rebook the same property because we loved it!!
