“Chewidden is a lovely place to stay!”

On arrival it was fairly tricky to find. We decided to park in the car park by the harbour and walk up to find where we were going. This meant that we saw the tight entrance into the car park before attempting it for the first time. The car park was great! It felt secure with the gate. Upon arrival to Chewidden we found the much talked about scones, cream and jam in the fridge. This is such a kind gesture and much needed after a long journey. The kitchen was a great size for us.

On arrival it was fairly tricky to find. We decided to park in the car park by the harbour and walk up to find where we were going. This meant that we saw the tight entrance into the car park before attempting it for the first time. The car park was great! It felt secure with the gate. Upon arrival to Chewidden we found the much talked about scones, cream and jam in the fridge. This is such a kind gesture and much needed after a long journey. The kitchen was a great size for us. We were able to do all the cooking we wanted. Everything was clean and there were plenty of kitchen utensils. The living room area was perfect for 2. The only issue we found was with the rug. It is extremely slippery due to it being on a wooden floor. Maybe it could do with some grips underneath to stop it moving. We used the T.V most nights just to wind down. Just a reminder to make sure you sign out of any apps used such as Netflix or Now TV before you leave. Upstairs was just as beautifully put together. The bed is very comfortable. One thing that is desperately needed is a fan. I had read reviews before we arrived stating how hot it can get upstairs. They were not wrong! I brought a fan with us but without it sleeping would've been very difficult. It also can get fairly light quite early due to there being no blind on one of the windows. This definitely isn't a deal breaker and didn't affect my sleep much but it might be helpful to others. The wet room is fantastic! The shower gets up to temperature so quickly. Charlestown is a beautiful little harbour to explore. We found lots of great rockpools. The property is also really close to supermarkets, with 4 of them only being a 5 minute drive. Further afield there is plenty to explore within 30 minutes driving. We would definitely recommend the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Overall we had a fantastic holiday using Chewidden as our base. I'd definitely recommend it.

“Cottage was clean and comfortable.”

Good location. Parking good. Only two opening windows, one in kitchen. Then only one small velux window for upstairs in between bedroom and bathroom. Very hot and stuffy at night upstairs. Definitely need a fan, which there is not. There are opening doors in lounge but they open on to the pavement in good view of everyone walking up the hill from the harbour. We were welcomed by a cream tea consisting of a large bowl of jam which was runny liquid on the bottom. A nice tub of Rodda's clotted cream. Then only two scones, one each. The scones were not very nice so glad there were only two. We do like scones and regularly make them. Bathroom was nice but the floor gets very wet after showering. So need to mop up after shower otherwise you get wet feet using the toilet or wash basin afterwards. Kitchen was nice, clean and spacious. Good fridge freezer dishwasher and washing machine. All kitchen saucepans/crockery/cutlery etc. were new and clean could do with a couple more teaspoons thought.

“Poor weather luck of the draw.”

- Mr Birch, June 2019
“Chewidden is a great property, tastefully decorated in a beautiful spot, with everything you could need supplied for a few days away.”

A small selection of pubs and restaurants on the door step and handy for the many harbour towns and eden project in the vicinity. We would definitely stay again if in the area and highly recommend it to other travellers.

- Mrs Thompson, May 2019
“The cottage was warm and comfortable and the location perfect for easy access to Charlestown amenities which was what we were hoping for.”

- Mrs Manning, March 2019
“Chewidden was extremely well equipped, modern, relaxing and airy!”

The cream tea left for our arrival was an incredibly lovely touch!

- Miss Hiorns, March 2019
“We drove past the property twice arriving after dark.”

A sign or house name roadside along with outside lighting would be helpful. Overall the property is lovely. Quality fixtures and appliances throughout make for a lovely home from home. The bed is so comfortable. We had a relaxing week here and would definitely recommend Chewidden.

- Mrs Driscoll-jones, December 2018
“The property is an ideal location for 2 people, modern,warm and well equipped.”

The only negative is the upstairs bedroom which is very limited for space due to the slopping ceilings. Kept banging our heads. If you can put up with that and are not tall then this is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall.

- Mrs Richards, December 2018
“Lovely cottage, would recommend staying here.”

- Mr Fitzpatrick, November 2018
“Lovely furnishings in beautiful and comfortable cottage .”

Great kitchen but a slightly larger table would make eating in more pleasant! Otherwise perfect for a winter retreat !

- Ms Faulds, November 2018
“Chewidden was an excellent cottage with good facilities and dedicated parking.”

It has everything you needed, it is in an excellent part of Cornwall for exploring attractions. The only down side is that there is limited head room for tall people in the bedroom with it being in the roof void. But overall it is an excellent place to stay

- Mr Smith, September 2018
“This cottage is certainly well positioned in this seaside village.”

Access to village was easy, designated parking spot and very close to a supermarket made the stay enjoyable. Maps of the area were available so this made day trip planning easier.

- Mrs Curtis, June 2018
“Ideally situated for visiting a week's worth of Historic Houses Association houses, National Trust properties, and, if you run out, gardens under various discount schemes.”

Tesco's within a mile makes shopping easy, the restaurants down by the harbour a trifle expensive in our view, but looked good. The cottage itself is very well appointed with brand new appliances inc washing machine and dishwasher, you just have to mind your head on the bedroom ceiling. BT Vision subscribers might benefit more than us from the TV but due to a week's sunny weather we weren't in the cottage that much. Plenty of local maps provided

- Mr Dancy, June 2018
“Chewidden is in the heart of Charlestown.”

Ideal for visiting north and south Cornwall. The cottage is beautifully furnished with top end equipment. Spotlessly clean and all you need for a weeks holiday. Would recommend to anyone

- Mr Bird, June 2018
“Everything first class”

- Mr Holmes, February 2018
“The cottage was everything that we hoped for and more.”

It was central to Charlestown, being less than 10 minutes walk to the Harbour Pubs and Restaurants. We would definitely book the cottage again if in the area.

- Mr Cherriman, September 2017
“Lovely comfortable cottage, extremely well equipped.”

Good location for exploring the area and good options for eating out in the village.

- Mrs Cooper, July 2017
“Superb cottage with high end equipment.”

Immaculately clean. It had it all, lovely place. My one criticism would be finding it. You get to the approximate place, then note there are about five or six side roads, and no matter how many people we asked no one could direct us. It needs a sign on the outside wall facing the road. It would be so helpful . It was raining when we arrived and the only way was to park up and walk each road. The sign on the wall would be a huge help. Otherwise faultless holiday.

- Mr Symonds, June 2017
“A real gem”

Fantastic. A beautiful place to stay, clean,comfortable extremely well equipped, bed was one of the best we'd slept in. Cottage has no outside space but thats ok as the pubs, restaurants and the harbour are all a short walk away and have plenty of places to sit and while away an hour or so. Also the cream tea awaiting our arrival was a very welcome touch thank you.
