Yeah, we'll be renting in the short term, until we know we're happy in our jobs and know the area a little better, then I'd be looking to sell up in Bristol and buy a place.
We've been looking in Penryn and surrounding areas, I really liked Penryn so it's definitely an option. Truro could be an option too. Never had to uproot from such a secure situation, so I'm feeling a little out of my comfort zone. Bristol is alright, and it's a safe bet, but it's kind of frustrating / repetitive sometimes.

Are you looking to rent or something?
If you worked in Falmouth you don't have to live there. It's an easy drive/ride from most places in Cornwall to Falmouth within a 10-15 mile radius and trains are ok-ish. Penryn is nice and just round the corner or there are some really nice villages around there too.
I lived in Cornwall for two years and worked in Falmouth for much of that. I loved it down there. Totally different life to living in a city. Both me and the wife often talk about moving back down there (currently living in Glasgow) when we do the family thing. Good luck.
