“This is a lovely little place with everything you could possibly need.”

It’s beautifully clean and looks newly refurbished. I had with me my partner and two (taller than me) teenage daughters who also enjoyed the cottage. We were welcomed with a package of scones, Jam and clotted Cornish cream, which was a lovely added extra. The pubs down then end of the main road were fab and had plenty to offer. Very picturesque place to stay. We ventured to all sorts from The Mackerel and it was a great base to go from. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Jackie the owner ...

Jackie the owner was also quick to respond to any message I sent her to, which is great communication.

“A stunning village and an equally beautiful house.”

The owner has thought of everything and we felt very safe with our 2 children (7&2years) Safety gate, little steps up the the beds, plug in night lights & locks on cleaning products-brilliant! The house is a small walk from the stunning harbour, which is breathtaking. The sea is crystal clear and the beach is lovely. Will be back!

. the hosts had thought of everything. Very good location for exploring Cornwall

- Ms Daniel, July 2020
“Very comfortable and nicely decorated holiday cottage.”

Well managed and can’t find any fault really. WiFi did fall out a couple of times but a very minor issue. Many thanks!

- Mrs Parson, April 2019
“The mackerel is a lovely cottage comfortable and well equipped.”

What made it extra special was the lovely decoration and splendid location. Near many attractions. Charlestown it’s self is lovely and historic. Lovely pubs. Arty shops. Ice creams and two beaches and a museum. Three supermarkets within 10 minuets drive. Marvellous would love to go again!u

The property

The Mackerel is a delightful cottage that offers warming accommodation for friends and family to come together and enjoy any time of year.

With the world-famous Georgian village and working port of Charlestown on your doorstep, along with the tropic biomes of the Eden Project and the golden bays of St Austell also close by; the location of this property is hard to beat.

Hidden down a quiet road, the house benefits from peace and quiet while only being a short walk from the village’s amenities, including the distinctive harbour.

You enter into the hallway before finding the bright and airy sitting room that hosts a refreshing, nautical-themed colour scheme.

The kitchen is finished to a high standard and includes a dining table for which you can gather at mealtimes.

Upstairs are the two bedrooms, a double and twin which are both tastefully decorated, along with the chic bathroom.

The decked courtyard with furniture is a relaxed spot and can even be used for some alfresco dining weather permitted.

From the property, take a short stroll into the village of Charlestown where you will find an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, bistros and pubs with something for everyone.

Even closer by is the iconic harbour which has been used in many film projects; fans of the popular TV series Poldark will find the surroundings familiar as the harbour was used extensively throughout the show.

Charlestown also has a small beach but there are some grander choices in St Austell which can be reached in a short drive.

A wonderfully modern base set in a exciting location.
