“The cottage was ideally placed to walk into the harbour and restaurants.”

Charlestown is a good location for touring around that part of Cornwall, with many attractions in the area.
Mrs Evans September 2019

“The property was exceptionally high standard with all a holiday cottage needs accounted for.”

The cleanliness and decor were superb. With welcome touches on arrival, showing us we’d picked the right property. For us, a Saturday to Saturday booking would be more useful but we can overlook it for this fabulous place!
Mrs Ronayne August 2019

“The perfect place to stay!”

Everything you could have wanted was provided, thank you Victoria. Cleanliness is always high on my list of requirements and this was exceeded, no need to clean anything on arrival! Charlestown is always a pleasure to visit with many things to do in the surrounding area, will certainly be back!
Ms Allcock August 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oh Buoy.”

On arrival it was easy to get in using a combination lock to access the key and we were excited to find fresh scones and Prosecco in the kitchen - very welcome after a long journey. The cottage was spotlessly clean, furnished beautifully, a good size for a family of four, and had everything we needed including towels, washing machine, dishwasher, iron and clothes airer. There were other nice touches such as a Nespresso coffee machine, DVD player, small selection of DVDs, wifi, freeview, Netflix and information about the local area. Charlestown is a great base with its charming harbour, beach, gift shops, deli, museum and great restaurants/cafes all less than 5 minutes walk away. And by car we visited the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Fowey, Lostwithiel and took day trips to Newquay and St Ives. We would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you for a wonderful first holiday in Cornwall.
Mrs Jones June 2019

“Lovely cottage, ultra clean, very well equipped, good quality bedding and fixtures/fittings.”

Owner goes above and beyond, even providing things like kitchen roll, wash up liquid, foil, tea, coffee, sugar amongst other things. We travelled by train and the fact that these items were provided made our stay so much easier and meant we avoided the additional cost of these necessary items. Absolutely recommend.
Mrs Bailey June 2019

“Oh Buoy is a beautiful well equipped, tastefully decorated, immaculately clean cottage tucked away in a tranquil spot yet close to the Main Street in Charlestown .”

From the small harbour side town you can easily visit many nearby attractions. We found the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and St Austell Brewery tour to be three places definitely worth visiting. A lovely holiday! Thanks to Victoria
Mr Kennett June 2019

“Oh Buoy is in an excellent location in the centre of Charleston and within no more than a stroll of a selection of pubs, restaurants and the picturesque harbour.”

Despite being so close to the amenities the cottage is situated in a small private courtyard and could not have been more peaceful. In a busy village the off road private parking is an additional bonus. The cottage itself is immaculately decorated and furnished to the highest standard and could not have been more comfortable. The owner, Victoria, goes out of her way to make you welcome and provides some excellent unexpected touches in the form of a fresh cream tea and a bottle of Prosecco awaiting you on arrival.
Mr Hudson May 2019

“A very helpful owner”
Mrs Jewson May 2019

“Oh Buoy was an immaculately presented holiday home: equipped with everything you could possibly need.”

It was ideal for two but would be a bit small for four adults. The car parking space was a bonus. Charlestown itself is a delightful coastal village ideally situated for visiting a large area of Cornwall. It has several restaurants so we never actually cooked anything at the cottage. All in all we could thoroughly recommend both Oh Buoy and Charlestown for perfect holiday
Mrs Gilligan May 2019

“We had a fabulous week in 'Oh Buoy', right from arriving at the cottage and being welcomed with a cream tea with Prosecco left for us.”

The cottage is very clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated in a subtle seaside manner. Not that we spent much time in...there is plenty to do in and around Charlestown including the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, lovely cliff top walks in either direction, the very different harbours of Mevagissey & Fowey. (We would have liked to go on the ferry between the two but it wasn't running until the day we left). We would certainly visit again. We had difficulty connecting to the wifi on arrival but Victoria gave us instructions to rectify it and was always at the end of the phone to answer any queries. Thanks for a great week!
Mr Gent April 2019

“Not enough cutlery or crockery to use dishwasher.”

Bedroom storage poor. Big roasting tray did not fit oven.
Mrs Channing April 2019

“A wonderful cottage that is both clean, well equipped and comfortable.”

In the lovely location of Charlestown with many restaurants that are of all a high standard. Conveniently placed in Cornwall to be able to visit a variety of attractions and beaches. We had the best week. Victoria was available to help and answer any questions. She left some lovely treats for us which were hugely appreciated on arrival. We have stayed in many places but this was by far one of the nicest locations and accommodations - we would love to return! Thank you!
Miss Jones March 2019

“We had a lovely stay at Oh Buoy!”

We were greeted with such a nice welcome; a card, flowers and some treats in the kitchen. The cottage was sparkling clean and very cosy. It had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Oh Buoy! is a minute walk from the shops, restaurants and great ships of Charlestown, but tucked away so you can enjoy a quiet day in if you choose too. Overall, a fantastic stay in a fantastic cottage! Highly recommend.
Mr Weston September 2018

“Super cottage, dressed to the highest standard.”

Lovely touch's by the Lady owner, fresh flowers & Cornish cream tea for our arrival. The only draw back was the master bedroom's wardrobe was across the entrance hall (with two couple staying lead to one or two awkward moments) may I suggest supply two dressing gowns for this room. But otherwise all positive.
