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 Lovely cottage in a brilliant location

A comfortable, cosy cottage in a brilliant location. A lovely courtyard at the rear of the cottage - perfect for sundowners. Carole and Malcolm couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. A cream tea and bottle of wine was especially appreciated. Would return in a heartbeat.

Charlstown break for two

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 lovely cottage in a good location. It has everything that you would want. Good location (although the noise from the pub kitchen wasn't ideal). Would certainly consider a return visit.

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful spot. Lovely new bathroom- great shower. The garden is sunny and all the equipment you could need is provided. The owners were lovely and left a range of goodies in the fridge plus 2 bunches of fresh flowers.

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.

Wow

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
