Mylor Bridge Holidays | Toad Hall Cottages

At the head of Mylor Creek, a sheltered inlet of the famous Carrick Roads estuary, sits Mylor Bridge. Right on the water’s edge, and only five miles away from Falmouth, holidays in Mylor Bridge are filled with riverside walks, fresh seafood suppers, waterside pubs and sailing, SUPing and boating adventures.

The village itself is home to a friendly village pub, the Lemon Arms, and a great selection of shops. There’s both a butcher and a fishmonger, where you can stock up on local produce and super fresh seafood to take back to your holiday cottage for summer barbecues.

But the main draw to the village is its stunning waterside location. The river estuaries that surround Falmouth harbour are renowned for their sailing conditions, and Mylor Creek is no exception. Set sail along the Carrick Roads, discovering beautiful wooded inlets, or head out to the open waters of Falmouth Bay. The sheltered waters of Mylor Creek are also perfect for kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddle boarding, or you could hire a little motor boat and set off on a family adventure armed with a pasty picnic. Just two miles outside of the village you’ll find Mylor Yacht Harbour, a one stop shop for all things nautical, from marinas, moorings and water sport and boat hire, to sailing schools and seafood restaurants.

Back on dry land, enjoy idyllic riverside walks along wooded creeks, or join the spectacular headland trails of the South West Coast Path. No holiday in Mylor Bridge should be complete without a visit to the Pandora Inn, an easy mile walk away. The Pandora Inn is one of Cornwall’s most loved pubs, and for good reason. This thatched 13th century pub sits on the banks of Restronguet Creek with its own jetty - so you could arrive in style and tie up your boat, before enjoying a pint on the pontoon.

Keen walkers will love exploring the nearby Roseland Heritage Coast, the rugged Lizard Peninsula and the emerald waters of the Helford River. Whilst here, stop off at Trebah or Glendurgan gardens, which aren’t just for garden lovers, but great for families too.

For beach days, you’ll find plenty of choice within a short drive (or boat ride!) of Mylor Bridge. Falmouth’s Gyllyngvase, Swanpool and Maenporth beach all boast family-friendly stretches of soft sand and safe bathing, while the shingle shores of Mylor Beach are perfect for dog walks.

Five miles away in the bustling harbour town of Falmouth, spend time exploring the ramparts of Pendennis Castle and learning all about the area’s nautical heritage at the National Maritime Museum. Browse the art galleries, artisan shops and clothes boutiques, refuel at one of the many coffee shops or dine on fresh seafood. The National Trust’s Trelissick Gardens are also nearby, where you can stroll through the subtropical gardens, visit the house and renowned art gallery, then enjoy a Cornish cream tea at the cafe.

From relaxing beach days and gentle creekside walks to action-packed adventures out on the water, you’ll be able to enjoy all that south Cornwall has to offer when you book a holiday in Mylor Bridge.
