1 Florence Place

A lovely place to spend a week and a great property to stay in.

A wonderful house in a perfect location.

Ten minutes walk from just about anywhere. Comfortable beds, hot showers, everything you need in the kitchen. We had a fantastic week here. Private note to the owners: The only thing we missed was having an open fire (or wood burner) as we all live with them at home. But we had a lovely week, despite this. Thank you for sharing your home. Toby

It is a lovely, roomy property.

An unexpected but good sea view from the main bedroom. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely house in great position.

Parking can be a bit tricky, but we managed! Beds were pretty comfortable, lots of cooking facilities/utensils which is great. lovely welcome pack. Quite expensive, but had a great time, would book again.

This is a lovely spacious and well equipped property with beautiful gardens.

One of the reasons we booked this quite expensive property was to enjoy sitting out and dining in the garden and the weekend we arrived, it appeared to deliver what we had hoped for. Unfortunately things changed on the Monday morning. Woken early to the sound of building works on a development close/adjacent to the bottom of the garden, we went out into the garden had to retreat into the house due to the noise. We understand that this is out of the owners’ control but planning permission will have been granted for this development some time ago and from the size of the work completed, the building works must have been going on for some time. The owners will have been aware of the ongoing works and the fact that it would compromise visitors’ stay in the property. It would have been fair and reasonable for visitors to have been advised of this at the time of booking or prior to their stay as this would have allowed people to make their own decision as to whether to stay next to a building site with the noise and disruption to sleep and enjoyment of the garden.

Great house that felt like home from home all the family loved it and good position easy for town, harbour, ferry’s lovely places to eat and great walks with the dogs .

THANKYOU and restful feel but lots to do close by …. Any one that saids that is hard to Park did not get to grips with the many streets around the house where a space can always be found . Thanks for the lovely welcome Pack too! Kate

Beautiful home from home.

We came for our daughter’s graduation 5 of us plus our dog. We would like to live here. Great bedding, all the lovely touches that made it homely. Thank you for sharing your home with us. X

The house was functional in that it had all the rooms and facilities described by Sykes Cottages.

However, the attempt to turn a regency house into a modern property is amateurish. A clothes hall stand in the dining room!! A badly painted wash stand in the hall!! The quality of work done is probably by a cash limited DIY person with ill fitting floor boards; tiles in the main bathroom near the ceiling chipped and poorly finished; chipped paint on most ground floor doors etc., etc., etc. There is much more that could be pointed out. Car parking was a nightmare. On arrival it took 20 mins to find a place to park several streets away. During the week we never had a day when it was possible to park outside 1 Florence Place so had to frequently check to see if a car had been moved so that my wife could guard the vacant space whilst I recovered our car. This does not make for a good holiday. Taking all the above and more into account I feel this was a very overpriced holiday let. Keith Lewis

We loved our stay!

What a beautiful holiday home. We had a fantastic week and would love to return.

Lovely period house in a great position.

Very comfortable and clean with homely touches everywhere. Falmouth is a great place with lots of choices too. We were there at Xmas, so weather never guaranteed, but house was warm and welcoming. A log fire or burner would have been fabulous, but I understand how hard these are to manage in holiday homes.

Small niggles in the main but easy fixes: A lovely stay with a great garden for the dogs.

(Couldn’t find a bin for the used dog bags

Lovely spacious house.

Great location. Would have liked more information about what was there. We were travelling on public transport so would have been helpful to know about household basics. They were provided but no info in advance.

Overall the property met our needs.

The location was great and very spacious, with some really nice features and character. The only downside was parking, although described as a quiet road. We had an infant child and my Mother is disabled so not finding parking close by was a real let down. The other disappointment was the cleanliness of the property. The windows were extremely dirty and the floors felt like they weren’t cleaned as our child’s toys were covered in dirt and fluff after being on the floor. Most of the utensils and dining-ware needed cleaning. Most of the culinary knives were faulty, the ice and water dispenser from the freezer didn’t work, along with the wine cooler not in working order (although advertised on the listing). The few times the TV was used, the screen went blank, but wasn’t too unhappy as we were on holiday so wasn’t the focal point of our stay. Overall I felt the property just needs a little TLC. After my recent experience, I wouldn’t stay here again nor recommend.

Wonderful house in a beautiful location.

Quality of kitchenware very high! We all enjoyed our stay and it was lovely to be able to have our dogs with us. Only issue was when something tripped a fuse and we had to call the management company to get access to the fuse box.

A lovely property - spacious comfortable and wecoming - we had a fabulous stay - housekeepers were particularly helpful - many thanks

Some of the bedrooms have curtains that have no block out so guests get woken quite early due to such good large windows.

The property was amazing.

It suited our needs. There was a lovely hamper which included treats for the dogs. When we arrived it was warm and the Christmas decorations really did make it Christmassy. It was extremely well equipped. None of us could fault it. We had a wonderful magical Christmas at 1 Florence Place. If we could bottle it and sell it we would make a fortune.

We loved this property, it’s a beautiful period home in a great location.

It was very well equipped and comfortable with lots of lovely touches for us and our dog. We had an issue with the heating in the top bedroom, the pressure had dropped and tried to call the property manager in the folder but didn’t get a reply. It might be a wrong number? My 92 year old mum was with us so we wanted to get it sorted for her as she feels the cold and the top bedroom was very cold for me . We called Helpful Holidays who managed to get hold of him via the housekeeper but it took another day. Apart from that we absolutely loved the house and holiday , thank you

What a beautiful house!

! We absolutely loved Florence Place!! Such a fantastic period property! It was a pleasure to return here at the end of our busy days during our holiday! Such attention to detail!! The house was very clean, well cared for and welcoming! The beds were very comfortable. A real 'home from home '! We were able to park both our cars either outside or just around the corner every day.Would love to come back again!

Place was great but parking was a big problem, I guess they can’t mention that in details as no one would book, otherwise nice place with lovely garden.

There was a problem with both the fridge and the cooker so we had to call out the Property Manager, who was very responsive and resolved both issues.

The outdoor furniture could be updated to a more comfortable table and chairs

We had a wonderful week at 1 Florence Place.

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden was magical.

Lovely period property with plenty of room.

Real home from home with everything you could want to make your stay truly comfortable. Catered for pets really well and lovely goodies in welcome pack on arrival.

Thank you for letting out your house.

It is a lovely property. Very dog friendly. The garden is great for the dogs and us. The house is beautifully decorated, It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great location for beaches, restaurants and walks. Would definitely recommend, already booked to come back.

The only complaint would be the the preparation knives and decent potato peeler, otherwise a good time was had by all.

Absolutely cracking house with so many lovely touches.

Loads of space, comfy and quality, we all had a fabulous time and looked to rebook here next year (the house is already booked for Shanty week so we’ll have to book earlier next time). Can’t recommend this house enough and I don’t usually do reviews!!

Amazing house, super comfortable and well equipped.

We are looking forward to returning to this wonderful home as our go to Falmouth accommodation.

A fabulous week at a fabulous house, I have stayed before and was not disappointed on my return, it feels more like a home than a rental and is very comfortable, so glad I came back, fond memories made again.

Lovely house to celebrate life with friends, a real home from home.

The dog friendly, secure garden in its beautiful layout was fabulous, with the views from the first and top floors amazing!

lovely property, big spacious and comfy and even had a christmas tree and food hamper, perfect location in falmouth.

fabulous!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Florence Place.

The house offered more than expected. My only comment for the owner was that the heating was on 24/7 sometimes a tad warm but rather that than freezing. Great location. If the house was for sale i would be interested...

Lovely comfortable house and well looked after.

Fabulous property in a great location.

Easy to walk to local restaurants and shops. Highly recommend Restaurant Four in Falmouth.

Actually , No Probs .

Me(85th B-day) and family had a super wk , liked the house , and nice things to do in Falmouth .

A wonderful house that feels like home, lovely touches, especially on a beautiful home that accepts dogs, the large dog bed and treats were very welcome, very pleased and will be back.

The location was brilliant.

Apart from the parking, which we knew about in advance but was difficult, this house is faultless!

Half the party wanted to buy it!

Lovely house in a great location, close to Falmouth sites and local beaches.

Plenty of on street parking. Very well equipped, sea views, dog friendly - perfect!

The only problem with this house is that parking is extremely difficult.

I received a parking ticket as a result of one area close to the house is a one hour limit, but I did not know that. We actually had to time going out and coming back to when we thought we would be able to park. None of this is clear in the details of the house I loved the house and would love to go back but would not book it again simply because of the lack of parking.

Beautiful house, very well maintained.

Kitchen was a real home from home. We had a very comfortable, family oriented and relaxing stay. Only downside/minor inconvenience was street parking but this is an issue in the town’s residential areas in general.

Beautiful home in an ideal location

Ok place but needs some work I think .

.. not overly clean as crumbs/ bits on the table and flooring but bedding ok. Main issue was parking!

The house was lovely the problem was when we got there the first thing when opening the front door was a dead mouse in the hall way I know this cant be helped.

but the whole house was dirty we spent a few hours cleaning the place up all the bins were full and loads of empty beer bottles left in court yard. The main bathroom was filthy hair in the bath and a grime ring around the tub you really need to get a new cleaner the drains overflowed every time you used the shower or washed up. As I say the house was perfect but needs a good deep clean and a new cleaner in-between guests
