The Fish Bowl in Falmouth, Cornwall

The Fish Bowl Self-Catering

There's more to this Cornish abode than meets the eye – for example, you wouldn't know at first glance that the modern, stylish space sits on the site of a World War II bunker. The unconventional 'upside down' layout has been cleverly considered, resulting in breathtaking views from the living area, where you'll likely spend most of your time.

'Blue' is the general theme here, accompanied by subtle nautical motifs (the fishing boat wallpaper is one of our highlights) and Scandi-style touches. The result? A unique and contemporary home with a distinctive maritime charm. Upstairs is bright and open, while downstairs, the cosy bedroom invites you to curl up, catch some Z's and wake up in calming surroundings.

The best of Falmouth is directly on your doorstep, from the buzzy live music scene to your pick of traditional chip shops. It'll take you less than two minutes to reach the seaside, where you can watch boats sail by as you soak up those south coast rays.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs
*While young children are welcome here, they should be supervised around the stairwell at all times as there isn't a stairgate
