    “Unlike other users we had no trouble with noise apart from the Social Club over the road until quite late (Saturday night only) - switching bookings to Friday would avoid this happening on guest arrival days.”

    The listing was fine, but stairs down to the central heating control is not ideal. "Bathroom with bath, basin and WC" should not be considered (level) Ground Floor Accommodation as it is up three steps. Instead of showing multiple photos of the tourist attractions it would be better to show the hallway and steps up to the toilet. Handrails there and in the bath area would be useful for the older guest. The washing machine is in an outhouse, best accessed through the downstairs bedroom rather ...

    The listing was fine, but stairs down to the central heating control is not ideal. "Bathroom with bath, basin and WC" should not be considered (level) Ground Floor Accommodation as it is up three steps. Instead of showing multiple photos of the tourist attractions it would be better to show the hallway and steps up to the toilet. Handrails there and in the bath area would be useful for the older guest. The washing machine is in an outhouse, best accessed through the downstairs bedroom rather than the outside steps which have no guardrail. No DVD player, but it might have been a slot in the TV - didn't look. Channel coverage much more limited than Freeview or - considering there are dishes - Freesat. The road is very busy but not disturbing, the morning rush and school run providing endless enjoyment over breakfast. People parking close to the drive entrance made access difficult at times; I managed to turn the car in the parking area because it has cameras but it has unfenced edges with 3-4 feet drop. With two cars it would have been difficult.

The property

Hillcroft is tucked away in the quaint Cornish village of St. Austell, close to all the essentials.

This charming duplex apartment on the ground floor of a beautifully restored Victorian house is ideal for a couple or small family eager to discover Cornwall's many attractions.

The apartment's contemporary interior is complemented by the home's elegant touches and sophisticated oak floors.

Once inside your new home, you'll find a stylish and fully-equipped kitchen, perfect for whipping up family meals that can be eaten indoors or out on the private balcony overlooking the cityscape below.

After a long day of exploring, relax with a hot bath or a refreshing rain shower in the bathroom or wet room, respectively, on the ground level or the lower ground floor, before drifting off to sleep in one of two king-size bedrooms.

From St. Austell, you can easily visit the rest of Cornwall, which is rich in diverse attractions.

It's not far to drive to Porthpean, known for its sandy beach and coastal golf course, and Charlestown, a historic harbour known for its tall ships and as the filming location for the BBC's Poldark.

Enjoy the lovely fishing village of Mevagissey or the golden sands of Pentewan Beach on the coast, or stay inland and visit the surrounding rainforest biomes, world-renowned Eden Project, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Fowey, a fishing and shipping town with a plethora of unique stores, waterfront eateries, and watering holes, is a bit further out but definitely worth the trip.

Whisk your loved ones away to Hillcroft.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1127411, together sleeping up to six guests.

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

About the location

ST AUSTELL

Fowey 8 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles

Sitting peacefully in the beautiful county of Cornwall just a mile from the south coast with its numerous sheltered, sandy, beaches, you will find the historic market town of St Austell. Filled with a range of pubs and bars, scrumptious local eateries, St Austell has a train station on the mainline connecting you easily to Truro and on down to Penzance. Newquay can also be reached by train via a quick change at nearby Par. St Austell’s central location in Cornwall provides the perfect setting for your next holiday to the Southwest. Spend your days on exciting outings to such attractions as The Eden Project or the nearby historical port of Charlestown, where you can see artefacts recovered from local ship wrecks at the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Head to Porthpean Beach for a tranquil walk along the soft sands or hire a kayak for a paddle in the calm, crystal clear waters, before pampering yourself at The Clearing Spa or enjoying a quick nine holes at St Austell Golf Club. Grab some fresh ingredients from the local supermarket on your way back to your holiday home for an evening of wining and dining indoors. St Austell is the ultimate setting for a fabulous coastal getaway.
