“The cottage was fantastic, clean, modern and had everything we needed.”

It was a home from home and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there. We will definitely return and recommend to family and friends.

“High quality cottage with excellent facilities.”

Well situated but pleased that my daughter was with me to park the car! Close to harbour and coffee shops and not far from supermarket.

“The Mackerel is a lovely property and ideally situated for the Harbour, which has a great selection of places to eat.”

Also the fish and chip shop, butchers and bakers in Holmbush are excellent. We'll be back!

great location,
Mr Hall November 2017

“Very nice house, extremely clean and homely.”

Had a slight issue with the heating but the owners were very quick to offer a solution. We were not on holiday but had we been so this property is well located for a base and with the port practically on the doorstep you have a great first place to visit. Cant thank Jackie and her Husband enough for making our stay comfortable and for the advice given to us as new residents comers in Cornwall.
Mr Priestley November 2017

“We weren't sure what to expect of this property, but it certainly looked okay on the internet.”

However, when we arrived we were very pleasantly surprised. The property was very clean, had every appliance you might possibly have in your own home and more. Did we have any regrets about this booking? Absolutely not, and we not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone else. A short walk away down toward the Harbour are several restaurants that offered a wide range of choice, although we ended up in The Rashleigh Arms on more than one occasion. They have a wide range of food choices and a particularly nice Cornish Lager. In brief, if asked to provide feedback in three words it would be :- Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

The property

An ideal base from which to tour the south coast of Cornwall, this cosy contemporary house is set in a quiet area in the heart of the world-famous Georgian village and working port of Charlestown, a mile from St Austell and close to the Eden Project.

Driving down to the village you turn off to this quiet location where the house is situated, hidden away yet only a few minutes walk to the harbour.

Parking outside, you enter the house into the hallway leading through to the sitting room before going through to the well-equipped kitchen and dining area.

From here you can access the decked courtyard and then take the stairway up the old foundry wall to the upper lawned garden where you can relax after a day touring the coast.

On the first floor are the two bedrooms, a double and a twin, along with the bathroom.

To this day Charlestown remains unspoilt and retains much of its Georgian character and this unique combination has led to the village being much in demand as a film and television location.

Fans of Poldark will instantly recognise the proud harbour where you regularly see magnificent square rigger ships transporting you into a bygone era.

Well worth a visit is the Shipwreck, Rescue and Heritage Centre located in the village and containing many exhibits relating to Charlestown's past and of course some interesting shipwreck salvage.

For a small village there are three excellent pubs serving good food and local ales as well as restaurants and cafés.

Less than a mile away is Cornwall's largest town, St Austell, with a cinema and a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs.

St Austell Bay, with its many sandy beaches is a haven for water sports and walkers will have the choice of the stunning South West Coast Path or the many woodlands and trails.

With so much to do whatever the weather, this really is an excellent holiday destination.
