Fal River Cottage

28/03/2024

River cruises from Malpas to Trelissick and Falmouth are back! The best way of experiencing the rivers of Truro and Fal is from a boat. It’s so relaxing to glide down the river past lush wooded banks, hopping off to visit NT Trelissick House or continuing all the way to Falmouth. The cruise makes for a very special experience not to be missed when you’re holidaying with us.

The boats stop at Malpas harbour just a short walk from Fal River Cottage. To secure tickets, visit https://www.falriver.co.uk/ferries/enterprise-boats

We’re looking forward to welcoming you in our home away from home.

Enterprise Boats run along the Fal River in Cornwall, between Falmouth and Trelissick via St Mawes by classic wooden ferry. One of Cornwall's best boat trips.

I was just sweeping the front decking, while Phil was painting the walls inside, when I turned around and saw this!!! What a lovely reward for a long day of spring cleaning, getting the cottage ready for the new season.

What a lovely, sunny morning we woke up to here at Fal River Cottage! The river, gorgeous in any weather, has been particularly generous with stunning views today and a long dog walk was in order. We returned to a bacon butty and a cuppa on the front decking, soaking in that sunshine and more river views.

It’s a gorgeous sunny day here in Malpas. Spring has definitely arrived and it’s so warm that it seems even summer is giving us a wave. A perfect day for an al fresco lunch on the front decking with that incredible view as the main course. It could be you enjoying it all! Bookings are coming fast but there is still some availability for this spring/summer.

Our current guests surprised us with a lovely message and some incredible photos today. The views of the river from the cottage are stunning and the wildlife abundant, but grey seals this far up the Fal are not seen every day!

“Can we stay forever - such a beautiful home. Had to do a bit of work yesterday and sat in the front garden with my laptop - perfect (apart from the work bit 😂) saw these guys out in the river today….”

The cottage is booked until the end of October, but there is availability in November and December. Fancy a winter break? Or maybe spending the festive season somewhere different? Now is the time to book! Truro with its events, shops, markets and bright lights is only two miles away. The cottage is cosy with a log burner, the wood shed is stacked and the walks along the river are right outside the front door.

RNLI are doing an amazing job, rescuing lives while risking their own. Real life superheroes…

Forty years ago today, on the evening of the 19th December 1981 sixteen people were lost in the Penlee Lifeboat disaster - including eight brave Cornish RNLI crewmen.

As the years pass, their heroism is continues to be strongly sewn into the fabric of our fishing community. We share a strong bond with the RNLI, with many of the crewmen and women working on fishing boats too.

We're sharing the story of that fateful night on our website, including personal memories from Rob, The Cornish Fishmonger. If you have time, please have a read and remember with us...

Spending time on the river is always special. How about finding out more about its history at the same time?

If you’re near Falmouth, it’s well worth going there to admire this incredible vessel.

The very impressive Golden Horizon alongside in Falmouth this morning. The world's largest square-rigged sailing vessel. It makes Moyana of Enterprise Boats Classic River Trips look rather small by comparison! Time permitting, trips aboard the St Mawes Ferry and Enterprise Boats today will pop by the ship to give you a closer look. 😊⛴

Great news! Malpas now has a farm and coffee shop. This was one thing that was missing in an otherwise perfect location.
