Our week in Cornwall.
We returned to the Lookout as we enjoyed it so much last year. It is ideally situated for visiting Falmouth. Gated property, which is in a quiet location only 200 yards from many restaurants including Rick Steins. Rail station 300 yards, ideal for visiting Truro and if you want, St. Ives, saves having the bother of fighting through traffic and expensive car parks. The Lookout is the ideal place to stay. Ian.

A great place to stay in Falmouth
The apartment is very centrally located, just 5 mins walk to the Town centre. ItA?s in a gated community, which is very well maintained. The apartment is in very good condition and everything needed is provided. ItA?s a very comfortable place and well maintained. Highly recommend. My only small grouse is that having travelled a reasonable distance to get there, that having to wait until 4pm to gain access is a bit late. Most places these days you can gain access between 2 to 3pm.

Ian & Pat Jones. Our holiday in Cornwall staying at the Lookout.
Hi, Pat & I had a lovely stay in Cornwall. The Lookout was all we could ask for in a holiday rental. We had obviously checked it out on the internet and were delighted when we actually arrived there. Everything was perfect as far as we were concerned. The view from our bedroom was lovely looking over the marina. We were lucky with the weather and loved Falmouth. We will probably return.
From the Owner:
Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a lovely time

Great stay at the Look Out
We enjoyed our one week stay in this apartment which is walking distance to Falmouth but still in a very quite area. Apartment is very clean and comfortable plus we were welcomed with flowers, tea coffee biscuits etc. Such a nice place to return to after a day of adventure! will be back again!

Remember, remember
4 days in November, no gunpowder or treason but a plot to cherish in Port Pendennis; of course it rained a couple of times, it got darker early but 'The Lookout' is superbly situated, supremely comfortable and very well equipped. We loved it!!

Falmouth Stay At The Lookout
If you are looking for an excellent spot to explore the south west of Cornwall, you could not choose a better location than the Lookout in Falmouth. Firstly the location; a private gated development,right on the sea front, just two minutes from Rick Steins and less than 5 minutes to the centre of the town. The apartment was excellent, very spacious, clean and welcoming,everything you could want for a relaxed start. We received full instructions on how to get there,and into the apartment. Little things that make a difference like fresh milk in the fridge as well as tea and coffee aplenty added to the overall feeling that you were being well cared for without anyone being obtrusive. With so many excellent places to see all within an hours drive this location and holiday apartment are first class. Just a quick browse through the visitors book said it all lots of people coming back again and again. We will certainly be joining them.

A lovely apartment in an ideal location.
Had a lovely week here in a property which was ideal for the two of us and in a fantastic location. Everything worked as it should and the only negative was the tiny television (hopefully larger by the next time we stay). For good measure the weather provided a heatwave!

A home from home
The Lookout is perfectly located and was a great base to have to explore Falmouth and Cornwall in general. In a gated complex, the car parking space just outside the block is ideal. The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped for self catering. I will definitely be returning and certainly can recommend staying here. It's been a home away from home, with a very helpful and generous host.

A great place to stay.
Great place to stay. Brilliant location, easy walk to Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle , town and the lovely beach and Gylly cafe, where the food is brilliant! The Lookout is a fantastic place to stay and the welcoming personal touches e.g. fresh flowers, milk in fridge , tray laid with cups teapot etc and shortbread were lovely.

Fabulous Falmouth apartment
My mother and I have just returned from a 5 night stay in The Lookout apartment in Falmouth. Very spacious kitchen, dining and living room, tastefully decorated, very clean and well equipped for self catering, comfortable beds, power shower, large bathroom. Loved it. Fabulous location in gated community with 5 min walk to harbour, shops, restaurants. 2 min drive to beaches, castle and main road out of town to explore fabulous Cornwall coast, river waterways and inland sites eg. Bodmin moor ancient standing stones. Would highly recommend.

I am so glad you enjoyed your time in Cornwall

A Little Gem
This was the 2nd time for us staying at the Lookout, and needless to say we were so impressed that we came back ! This time we invited friends from Dorset to share our experience and they absolutely loved it. The location was perfect for the shops, bars and excellent restaurants and we had some fantastic meals . The apartment itself was very spacious and comfortable with all the facilities you could wish for, including fresh ground coffee ! We certainly needed the heating during our stay as it was during storm Angus so fun was had by all :) The only criticism would be that the tv was on the small size for such a big room. Other than that, perfect. This apartment is a little gem in a perfect spot and we will definitely be back next year.

Nice but needs a bit of TLC
Great location and the milk/water/flowers were nice touches. The apartment is comfortable but perhaps needing a bit of TLC with special attention to the plumbing which needs updating. Having said that would not be unhappy to stay there again.

We stayed for three nights with my elderly Mother, so location (flat walking into town) was excellent for us. Flat was clean and well equipped. Thank you Bob and Sarah Holloway

The Lookout
This is our fourth visit to the Port Pendennis compex and our first stay at the Lookout. The accommodation was generally very good and catered well for our children (age 2 and 5). It is also in an excellent position for the local beach and shops/restaurants.

Great spot in Falmouth
A great position , near both town and beach . Great to have a garage , lovely walks nearby . My only one negative is the key to apartment door also fits the main security door which I assume everyone in the block has a key to , felt I needed to carry money and valuables with me all the time .
From the Owner:
The keys are special security keys which open the front door of the apartment block but are individual to each flat and therefore do not open any other apartment.

A well located property
The property is well located with excellent views of the marina . It was clean and well equipped with little touches that contributed to an excellent rating . The television has a small screen and is a little out of date but functioned OK.

Five Stars for The Lookout!
The Lookout exceeded our expectations, even better than it looked on line. Lovely welcoming touches, daffodils, Easter biscuits, milk in fridge, tea, coffee. Plenty of toilet rolls, always an advantage!! Nice toiletries and Wonderful white fluffy towels provided. Every base covered, even bottled water and glasses in bedrooms. Parking immediately outside with lift access to apartment. Lovely sunny aspect with view on to the Marina. Everything very comfortable with great dining table and chairs. Easy flat access to Falmouth town with many varied restaurants, wonderful fish and chips and of course Cornish pasties! Altogether a great week at The Lookout, we'd give it Five Stars!

The Lookout with Everything
Having stayed In Port Pendennis before, we more or less know what to expect with regards to the position and views. However, from the moment we booked with Cornwall Cottages, we knew this was going to be a treat. The service was excellent and we were contacted prior to our check in by the Owners, introducing themselves and giving full check in procedures. When we arrived at The Lookout, the apartment was pristine clean and with every gadget you could wish for to make your stay home from home. A welcome tray of shortbread biscuits and milk and fresh flowers made us feel wanted. All the facilities were first class, although the shower was a little on the "slow" side with the water pressure but nothing, not even the gale force winds and torrential rain for the whole 3 days of our stay, could put a dampener on the weekend. We really felt rested having stayed there even though we were out and about every day in the rain as the position was absolutely perfect. We will certainly being staying there again and will recommend both Cornwall Cottages and The Lookout to anyone wanting somewhere to stay which is most certainly like a home. Well done for the care taken by the Owners and we look forward to coming back.

Lovely apartment
The look out is a lovely apartment,very clean, spacious and well equipped, and in a great location. The owner was very helpful and pleasant. Our only real complaint is that the TV was far too small, and it would be good if there were lamps on both sides of both beds. We also felt that it needed more seating to be comfortable if there was four of you. We were only two so we were fine. We would definitely recommend this apartment .

Great Flat in a Great Location
The flat is ideally located & secure with a gated entrance. Access to Falmouth & the surrounding area is easy from here. The arrival instructions were clear & easy to follow & the flat is of a very high standard with everything you could possibly need provided. The view of the marina to the front really shows off the location & I would highly recommend a stay at the lookout.

Lookout for the Lookout
A very well laid out and spacious apartment that had a good view of the marina. Ideally situated and only a few minutes walk from the town, we would certainly consider staying there again. In many ways a home from home however there were few basic things that need addressing: 1.Not all the doors close 2.With the limited hanging clothes space, hooks are required in the front bedroom and the bathroom, stick-on hooks just don't work and fall off all the time. 3.The shower pressure is weak and the temperature control poor, in fact the shower is very old and needs replacing altogether. Don't be put off by my last comments as I'm sure these points will be addressed

An excellent week at the lookout
We are regular visitors to Falmouth and love the Port Pendennis complex. The lookout was a nice location and fitted out to high standards. Some minor items were noted but the owners have promised to look into. A great weeks holiday.

Great location
The location of this property was ideal for us. Easy walking distance to the museum, eateries and shops. Possible to walk to the beach but we didn't do this as we had too much to carry! Spacious accommodation and very comfortable. A little more info about the other exit to the complex (which saved a more lengthy walk )would be useful as we only found it by chance and others may not.

Stay at the lookout during Falmouth week 2014
A very enjoyable week helped by the excellent location of the property. We enjoyed watching the ships, taking boat trips, fishing and made use of the tennis court on a number of occasions. The property was generally very well kept with good facilities. Only minor issues with the flushing of the toilet (difficult but possible), and the regulation of the shower temperature.

Beautiful view at The Lookout
Stunning view over the marina, gorgeous development and convenient for local amenities. Apartment was huge, much bigger than expected, pristine and comfortable. Attention to detail by the owners was very thoughtful - coffee, milk and shortbread provided and a selection of books and magazines to read. Everything had been thought of and I would absolutely recommend. Good kitchen facilities too.

Pendennis Marina
A lovely appartment in a well positioned area and protected with security gates overlooking the Marina, within walking distance to Falmouth town where there are many places to eat and drink, not to mention the local attractions. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend to family and friends.
