Falmouth to Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Regatta 2014. 28 - 31 August

BIG NEWS for Cornwall! The Tall Ships Regatta is coming to Falmouth.

I know Sandhill House Country Retreat with Bed & Breakfast and Self-catering accommodation Cornwall is not exactly close to Falmouth, but then again we are well away from what will be a real 'crush' in Falmouth in August or indeed the issue that there will be no vacancies, within days of this announcement, because this is world class event that will attract people from all over the World.

However, do you remember me mentioning twin centre holidays? Sandhill House is just 1 hour 30 minutes away, by car, from Falmouth and Kenegie Manor, which is just outside the rush and hub-bub of Penzance and complete overfill of St Ives in August, but it is less than an hour's drive to Falmouth! 

So why not have the best of all worlds, peace and quiet when you want it but easy access to one of the greatest maritime events in the world? We have some vacancies at the B&B and both apartments at Kenegie Manor, The Great Hall and The Arundel Wing are currently not booked, for that week, but August is now booking quickly, so if you fancy a very special holiday in Cornwall, please book sooner rather than later.

The large square-rigged vessels will be berthed at Queen’s Wharf in Falmouth Docks and will be open to the public from 28th to 30th August. On 31st August they will take part in a magnificent Parade of Sail along the coast in Falmouth Bay. They will then race up the English Channel to the finishing line off the Isle of Wight, then sailing in company to Greenwich, London.
