    “The perfect holiday rental.”

    The owner had thought of everything. I particularly liked the ample supply of cleaning products that were locked away so that children could not access. We had travelled by train so we booked a provisions delivery from the local ASDA, but this and TESCO are very close. The property is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Warm and cosy.

    The owner had thought of everything. I particularly liked the ample supply of cleaning products that were locked away so that children could not access. We had travelled by train so we booked a provisions delivery from the local ASDA, but this and TESCO are very close. The property is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Warm and cosy. Kitchen appliances good and well stocked with pots pans and china. I like that the full appliance manuals are available to consult. The owner is very friendly and easy to communicate with. We had a small problem with the TV that was sorted in minutes even though this was around 9:30pm. . It was also lovely to arrive to find a welcome basket and cream tea in the fridge. Altogether a great place to stay. Would thoroughly recommend.

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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

CHARLESTOWN

St. Austell 1.5 miles; Eden Project 2 miles; Truro 16 miles.

A delightful and much sought-after coastal village of stone cottages and Regency houses, on the south coast near St. Austell. Famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path, it’s the perfect holiday destination. It has even been used as a filming location, most well known for appearing in Poldark. The area is rich in golf courses with Carlyon Bay and Porthpean close by. The picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey is 20 minutes' drive away by car, while the Lost Gardens of Heligan, several stately homes and gardens and the fabulous Eden Project are all within 5 miles, with Newquay and North Cornwall coast only a 35 minute drive away by car.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100
