    Many thanks for your feedback from which we were concerned to learn of your experience. Bearing in mind the comments and high scores we have received in the past, we are unsure of why there was a problem with the cleanliness of the accommodation, but will work with our facilities company to review and ensure other visitors do not have the same experience.

The property

Charlestown 7 miles.

This wonderful, terraced holiday home of Water Wheels is located on the outskirts of St Austell, Cornwall, in a restored historical building.

Water Wheels is the ideal home for a family of six, with ground-floor bedrooms and easy access to neighbouring attractions and seaside treats.

When you arrive, you'll find plenty of off-road parking where you can park up before entering the magnificent property.

The kitchen/diner includes all of the necessary facilities, such as an electric cooker and a four-slice toaster, to prepare nutritious meals for everyone at the adjacent dining table.

The lower-ground-floor living room has another table for six people, ideal for playing games, or making jigsaw.

As well as a spacious, suede sofa, Smart TV, and 'flame effect' electric fire; this space has truly been designed with relaxation in mind!  As night falls, ascend the stairs to one of three lovely bedrooms, including: a super-king-size, a twin, or a twin with zip/link beds that can be converted to a super-king-size to accommodate your sleeping arrangements.

After a day of sightseeing, be sure to venture to the family bathroom and relax those muscles in the bubbles of the bath.

A secluded patio is located at the back of the property, where you may enjoy a hot cup of morning coffee or an alfresco meal while taking in the tranquil surroundings.

Treat your loved ones to a fantastic break at Water Wheels.

The West Dry Accommodation

The West Dry Accommodation consists of six marvellous holiday homes resting on the outskirts of Roche, Cornwall. Formerly known as part of Great Wheal Prosper, a working clay dry, it has been converted into this fantastic collection of lettings you see today. As you can see, this group of properties enjoy a great deal of character, whilst also boasting TVs, access to a communal utility, ample off-road parking and their own private patios. Nearby, Roche Rock, an attraction that seems like an abandoned prop from the set of the court of King Arthur, rises dramatically from the china clay terrain to the north of St Austell. When you see the destroyed fifteenth-century church that sits on its flat summit, the mystery surrounding this tall, nearly cuboidal lump of granite is considerably heightened. When it comes to your amenities, there is a convenience store in Roche village, along with a newsagents, post office, pharmacy and hairdressers, takeaways, pasty shop, butchers and a grocery. If you're looking to treat your loved ones to a meal out, The Victoria Inn can be found just outside Roche and The Bugle Inn rests, as its name suggests, in nearby Bugle; both offer hearty meals and local ale. Be sure to venture to St Austell for an outing, with its additional amenities, along with access to the shores of Duporth, Porthpean and Carlyon Bay, St Austell Brewery and the St Austell Golf Club. There is a wealth of attractions settled within easy reach, the most notable being The Eden Project just a short drive away. The other attractions range from the Wheal Martyn Museum, Bodmin Jail and The Lost Garden of Heligan to the National Trust's Lanhydrock House, Camel Creek Adventure Park and Dairyland Farm Park; there is truly so much to see here. A fantastic stay that is brimming with history, choose The West Dry Accommodation.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

ST. AUSTELL

Charlestown 2 miles; Carlyon Bay 3 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles; Fowey 8 miles.

The old market town of St Austell, just a mile or two from the south coast, is famous as the historic centre of the china clay mining industry. Today, its many beaches and its sub-tropical gardens provide plenty to see and do. The wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are perfect for a family day out, and a little further afield Caerhays Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Porthluny Cove. On the edge of town, St Austell Brewery offers tours of the Victorian brewing equipment and a chance to sample the local beer, and for those looking for surf and sand, St Austell Bay has several beaches to choose from - Porthpean, Carlyon Bay, Pentewan, Polkerris - the last offering a variety of water-sports. As well as a small shingle beach, Charlestown, a pretty, historic port, often has wooden sailing ships in the harbour, and is popular as a film location. A little further afield are Fowey and its beautiful estuary to the east and the fishing port of Mevagissey to the west. With lots to do and something to keep the whole family entertained, St Austell is a great year-round destination.
