The kitchen is spacious and practical. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom very nice with a good shower. We kept banging our heads on the sloping roof in the bedroom and one has to be careful not to collide with the wooden stairs which protrude into the lounge area. The large TV is very nice bit we would have liked also to have a CD player as we prefer to listen to music some of the time. I didn’t succeed in streaming music from my laptop to the Roberts Smart Speaker – no idea what stopped it. The Internet works well and is reasonably fast. Charlestown is a very pleasant and interesting village with a good choice of places to eat, though they are all rather expensive. We had excellent meals at the Rashleigh Arms and the Pier House Hotel. There are 3 supermarkets within easy walking distance: Tesco and Lidl at 7 and 8 minutes respectively (via Church Road) and Aldi at 18 minutes. The coast path makes for a pleasant walk in both directions and nearby Carlyon Bay has a wonderful sandy beach. The weather was rather poor such that we were confined to the cottage for 2½ days due to heavy rain and high wind. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay and can recommend this property.

- Mr Tallet, January 2020
“The accommodation was excellent - everything had been done to a very high standard, and the cottage had everything we needed.”

It was ideally situated to explore the local area - we would recommend it wholeheartedly!

“Winter break”

Came here for a winter break for a week. Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable. Only problem was myself and my husband kept banging our head on sloping ceiling especially by chest of drawers by bathroom. Also when I was going to cupboard under stairs. Apart from that it was a nice break for the two of us. Will recommend this cottage to family and friends. Nice and quiet too. If anyone is thinking to go take a few tea towels with you as only one there and small also bath towels, We had a lovely time there on the whole,

- Zoemerseyside, December 2019
“We spent a very enjoyable four days in Charlestown.”

The cottage was immaculate. The kitchen was very modern (for us anyway!) and the bedroom upstairs was an interesting feature. The private, safe car park was very welcome. The harbour was interesting as were the walks either way along the Coastal Path. Paul Moulden

- Mr Moulden, December 2019
“Lovely property in a fine picturesque village with easy walking to pubs, beach, cliffs and eating places.”

Also within easy reach of the Eden project and many other Cornish gardens.

- Mr Maclennan, December 2019
“Chewidden cottage was exactly as listed very clean and cosy for 2 people and the furnishings were a high standard .”

Charlestown was a great spot with an excellent pub (The Rashleigh )and restaurants (Wreckers and Longstore) all of which were a few minutes walk from the property. We had a fantastic time and will definitely book this cottage again.

- Miss Cave, October 2019
“Lovely cottage with a short walk to everything that Charlestown has to offer.”

Lots of places to eat in a wonderful setting. The cottage has everything you might need for your holiday and is beautifully presented. A couple of practical points, firstly from the road you don't see the cottage frontage so it can be difficult to find when you arrive. We went down to the harbour, around the roundabout and back up and found the entrance that way. To park you go through the automatic gates with MQ on them and park in the allotted number 8, don't drive too far forward when going in as the gates won't open. Secondly, if you are very tall you may struggle with the upstairs sloping ceiling. At 5 10 my partner had to be careful not to bang his head, but he got used to it. If you are over 6 ft it may be more of an issue, but maybe not so don't let that stop you staying somewhere lovely.

- Ms Fairall, October 2019
“This is a beautifully renovated cottage,with all home comforts, comments= very warm in the bedroom at nights could do with another velux window on the bedroom end to solve the problem, in summer it must be stifling hot, unfortunately no outside seating for enjoying a sunny day, or evening.”

And the wi fi didnt work for us. but it is in a lovely little village with nice restaurants and bars and the tall ships in the harbour a bonus .

- Mr Barnes, August 2019
“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. 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.

- Miss Leafe, July 2019
“Although we have been in this area before yet again it exceeded our expectations Charlestown is beautiful and very relaxing with plenty of facilities within walking distance.”

Plenty of places to eat and views are beautiful. There are also many area's to visit within travel distance eg Eden Project, Looe and especially Padstow. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and had all facilities you need.

- Mr Skilling, July 2019
“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 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
“Lovely cottage, would recommend staying here.”

- Mr Fitzpatrick, 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
“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.
