Carole's Cottage in Charlestown, Prime Quiet Location 50yds from the Harbour

We aim to make you feel comfortable and completely at home in our 1860's cottage, which has been renovated throughout to give you a traditional feel of cosiness and quality. The original slate front is one of only two which still exist in the village.
Two separate good size living rooms and a generous size kitchen offer plenty of family living space whatever the weather whilst the sheltered sunny and private garden is a major feature of the cottage- perfect for eating outside, relaxing with a book or sitting out in the evening. The period cast iron fireplace with gas fired coals gives a warm welcome if you are a little chilly whilst central heating warms the whole house.
The cottage is located just above the Harbour but hidden from the crowds at peak times, . A hidden gem offering privacy, yet direct access to the village, harbour and beaches.
Parking for yourselves and your guests is right outside.

Chill out at lunchtime or spend an hour reading in the garden whilst the rest of your party are on the beach, fishing off the harbour or walking the coast path. A two minute walk will allow you to join the rest of the party for lunch with them in the pub.
The stable door at the back opens onto the quiet, private, sunny, slate paved, garden at the back of the cottage. Our cottage has been totally renovated but retains a cottage feel. It has 2 comfortable sized bedrooms, the main one is a double with lovely sea views to greet you when you wake. The other is a generous twin. The cottage perfectly accommodates four and is the ideal place to explore the area on foot, by bus or car.
Feel free to phone for an informal chat before booking as we want you to feel happy about staying in the cottage.

If you stay here we can offer you free unlimited parking 100yds from St. Austell railway station for train days out. Alternatively, if you would like a car free holiday we can offer you complimentary transfers to and from the railway station at the beginning and end of your holiday. We can also arrange transfers to and from Newquay Airport at nominal cost.
If you are trying to find the property on Google Earth there is no Street View as the roads in and around the harbour are all private and have not been surveyed. On the satellite view the cottage can be found by going to the top end of the harbour, look to the right to see the Shipwreck Centre. There is a road which is at right angles to the harbour running up the right hand side of the Shipwreck Centre and at the end on the opposite side there is a row of cottages on the right and a pair of cottages on the left which on the satellite view looks like a large detached property but is actually a pair of semis. The cottage is the left hand one of these.
Golf at Carlyon Bay (look it up) one mile away.
Horse riding widely available locally.
Eden two miles away
Heligan four miles away.
Newquay sixteen miles away.
Bike hire locally.
Please ask about anything we have not thought about.

If you fancy breakfast out or a mid afternoon cream tea then walk to Lovedays wonderful restaurant just across the road

First visit to Charlestown
We spent a lovely week in Charlestown, travelling by train to St Austell and a 5 min taxi. The cottage is perfectly located for the harbour, tucked away from the crowds. Easy walks to local beaches (Duporth our favourite). Cottage was well equipped with good wifi.

A great cottage in a fabulous location. The cottage had everything we needed and a lovely suntrap little garden where we sipped our evening G and T. Goodies left in the fridge were a nice suprise (they didn,t last long!) Spotlessly clean and very comfortable . Just what we needed.

Great property in a great location.
Met by hosts with a warm welcome and a cream tea which set the tone for an enjoyable stay. Great location in Charlestown just above the harbour. Enjoyed days on the shingle beach and evenings in the many hospitality outlets. Would recommend both the excellently equipped property and Charlestown as a holiday location.

A perfect stay
We just loved this cottage. Our welcome from Carole was warms and we really appreciated the little food gifts. The location of the cottage is perfect, very near the 2 beaches and lots of cafes and restaurants. We had intended visiting lots of places but we actually stayed in Charlestown the whole week. Loved it!

Carole was excellent at making you feel welcome and that all your needs were met.
We found that the location within Charlestown was perfect. Far enough up to be away from the hubbub of the town and easy walking distance to everything. The cottage has been very nicely designed with modern kitchen and bathroom. Perfect.

This amazing cottage is right in the heart of the village. On arrival we were greeted with a warm smile from the owner who explained all we needed to know. We love the simple things in life like finding a pint of milk in the fridge along with a cream tea. Thank you so much Carole for helping us enjoy our holiday

Cosy
The property was perfectly located in Charlestown with a nice view of the bay from the bedroom window. The mattress was rock hard and could feel some of the springs so could do with replacing. We would have preferred to have had internet, couldn’t get mobile signal in the house.

Beautiful, peaceful cottage
Couldn't have wished for anything better. The cottage had everything you could need, well equipped kitchen even supplying tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk, clotted cream and scones on arrival along with a bottle of wine to unwind after your journey. Everything was lovely and clean, fresh bedding and ample supply of tea, hand and bath towels. The bathroom was perfect and spacious with a big walk in shower. Carole the owner was there to greet us to make sure we were happy with everything, amazing friendly host. Fantastic location for touring. We did Penzance, St. Ives, Porth,The Eden project and more. The harbour itself is beautiful and a wonderful place to relax enjoy a meal and a drink. Only downside, we couldn't find a normal little shop that supplied everyday items and newspapers in the harbour itself, but saying that, Asda, Tesco, Morrison and Aldi are only a short drive away.
