clear your mind with costal walk
#beachlife
Amazing costal walk from Gilly Beach to Maenporth through Swanpool. Even with winter breeze the walk has wonderful views to help you switch off and breath fresh air. little cafes are open on each beach with decent coffee and hot chocolate. Gilly beach has much more elaborated establishment for great lunch or evening drinks.
Dreaming of a blue Christmas?
Want a unique view this Christmas? Why not spend some time in the English town of Falmouth, where costal beauty meets old-English charm.
Falmouth is a little costal town in Cornwall, in the south of England. And as it’s such a long distance from the rest of the country, it can feel like a whole different world! The town is filled with pastel buildings, tight corners and alleyways, cute cafes, old bookstores, gardens, seagulls, beaches, and of course endless views of the big, blue sea. There’s a university in the center of town too, so the high population of students keep local businesses trendy and full of business!
Although Falmouth is busiest in the summer, I think it has a lot of beauty in the winter too. The Christmas season means Christmas lights and ice skating, the streets are much quieter, and the sea has a whole new mood in the winter: sometimes loud and aggressive, sometimes calm, grey, and tranquil. Falmouth in winter perfectly encapsulates the cosiness of old-town English charm, while its sea views bring something really unique.

Very Lovely Staff
Booked here for my parents 30th anniversary. Greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were clean with complimentary teas, coffee, water and cookies. My parents were welcomed with complimentary elderflower/lemonade as neither of them drink and the staff wrote a congratulatory card which was very sweet.
We planned a trip to Trebah garden on the second day. The lady at the reception was very helpful in providing a taxi for us the night before.
Slight downside was there was limited channels on the TV. For the price of the room, we were expecting at least freeview. There was no air con but we were provided with a fan. On our last day, there seemed to be a booking issue over breakfast but the staff handled it well.
But other than that, it has been very good. Warning though, the hotel is like a maze haha.
A shoutout to the cleaning staff who were also all very friendly and made sure to say good morning to us whenever we cross paths.
