This is our third year staying at this beautiful spacious apartment. The location is amazing and we love Falmouth town.. a pleasant 15/20 minute walk away. The flat is very spacious and has lovely bedrooms. Unfortunately the upstairs toilet stopped working after our first day there and wasn’t fixed while my sister was staying with us. The cleaning could be better.. crumbs over the floor in dining area when we arrived ..and kitchen plinths really dirty… a decent broom and dustpan needs to be provided. Plus non stick frying pans need replacing. Empty air freshener in loo when we arrived …and same broken binoculars by the window as last year…. Flowers left for us were half dead… just a little attention to detail could make things so much nicer. Nevertheless we will return as it’s an ideal place to take my Mum on holiday with us
