We had a fantastic week at Camellia Cottage. It is tastefully decorated and very well equipped with everything you need, obviously a lot of thought has gone into this. We had some lovely walks and enjoyed the Lost Gardens of Heligan, plus Lobbs farm shop that's located next to their carpark. Would recommend the cottage and definitely stay again when we're back.

Camelia Cottage was lovely for our Christmas break.
Camelia Cottage was lovely for our Christmas break. Everything had been thought of, it was very well equipped, comfortable, clean and warm. The location is also beautiful and we loved the stream running through the end of the garden. The festive ‘welcome ‘ pack of goodies was also a nice touch and the milk in the fridge was a lifesaver on arrival! Our hosts were really helpful and I’ve already recommended the cottage to friends. Its location within easy travelling time to St Austell and Charlestown was just right.

We had a lovely stay at Camellia Cottage. The owners are very kind and accommodating! We arrived to a spotless and cosy cottage, and a thoughtful treat! The kitchen is fully equipped. Even loaf of bread, butter, jam and milk were there on our arrival.Lovely quiet surroundings where we could fully come to rest. Beautiful outlook from the big french windows. Loved the wood burner too, which adds to the cosiness.Amenities are not far off, and a couple of pubs nearby which offer great food.Perfect place for a lovely Cornish experience
