About The Major's Quarter
A former officer’s quarters with sweeping views across the seaThis stern-looking former officer’s quarter on St Anthony Head is great if you’re into military history, or if you’re just looking for a brilliant sea view, then this little cottage has that too. It has some wheelchair access too, with adapted interiors and an accessible tarmac path that leads to a view point overlooking St Mawes, Falmouth and the Carrick Roads.
The Major’s Quarter along with Tiffy's, The Captain’s and The Lieutenant’s Quarter holiday homes sit high on St Anthony Head overlooking the sea. These special buildings were preserved after we bought St Anthony Head on the Roseland Peninsula in 1959. Now guests can explore the history of the former military fortification site when they stay here.
And if you had a beach visit in mind, the small coves of Great Molunan & Little Molunan are close by. For a little bit of culture and a pub lunch, head to small fishing village, Portscatho which is just a 10 minute drive from here.
What’s more, by staying here you’ll be helping care for this significant historic site for future generations.
