EDITOR LOVES Falmouth has once again been recognised as one of the ‘go-to’ destinations in the UK. The creative coastal town has been highlighted as one of the most luxurious travel destinations and also featured in the respected online lifestyle magazine Muddy Stiletto’s ‘Best Places to Live’ list within the Cornwall region. Richard Wilcox, executive director of Falmouth Business Improvement District (BID) said: “It’s great news that Falmouth has been included in these listings for its many quality-led experiences. These recognitions reinforce the proactive town partnerships and sophisticated businesses that continue to think innovatively within such a challenging environment. The ongoing investment by our excellent hoteliers and accommodation providers and the wide range of brilliant independent food and drink, retail and coastal lifestyle businesses that have opened here, has in turn, attracted even more creative and entrepreneurial enterprises to our dynamic port town.” “Furthermore, as the Business Improvement District and Town Team, we have undertaken a range of innovative projects, a year-round festivals programme, excellent digital platforms, an active cruise ships schedule and more to drive year-round interest and investment. All of which ensures that Falmouth continues to be viewed as a desirable destination to visit, live, work or study in.” To plan a visit to the region, visit www.falmouth.co.uk/media LUXURY LODGES ANNOUNCES HOLIDAY HOMES IN BUDE Luxury Lodges, a collection of five-star self-catering resorts across Britain’s most-loved holiday destinations, has announced the development of 27 residences for sale at the North Cornwall site, Bude Coastal Resort, following a £10 million investment.
