Penarrow House

At A Glance

Overview

Penarrow House occupies one of the finest waterside locations in South Cornwall, situated just beyond Mylor Harbour. This 5-bedroom home sleeps up to 10 people and offers outstanding views, making it the perfect base to escape. Being directly on the shoreline of the Fal Estuary favoured by the sailing community and enjoying spectacular views, nothing beats relaxing on the front terrace and watching passing boats. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasting direct access to the estuary known as Carrick Roads, Mylor Yacht Harbour is viewed by many as one of Cornwall’s finest marinas.

A short stroll from the house is Café Mylor & Castaways Restaurant & Wine Bar. Boats, kayaks & paddle boards can be hired at Windsport.  Marina berths and moorings can be booked with the Harbour Office. For those who choose to stay on dry land, walk the coastline footpath around Trefussis headland to the waterside village of Flushing via Kiln Beach which is ideal for children.  From here you can cross over to Falmouth on the foot ferry. Alternatively, head along the footpath to Mylor Bridge with a superb village pub, the Lemon Arms, along with a good selection of shops. The famous Pandora Inn is just a short 2-mile drive, located on the edge of Restronguet Creek, or make your way there by boat.
