Lovely spacious apartment with good views. The dedicated parking space was handy as parking can be restrictive around Charlestown. An easy walk into Charlestown and walkable into St Austell.

This is a comfortable, clean, spacious property. It is well equipped and the allocated parking is a bonus. The views over the roof tops to the sea are lovely. It is a short walk into the delightful harbour side town of Charlestown with pubs and restaurants. It is a short walk the other way to Tesco. It is an advantage to those of us with allergies Read moreto animals that no dogs are allowed. We loved it so much we booked it again. Thank you owners.( we enjoyed the complimentary cream tea) Hide

The apartment worked very well for us and we appreciated the scones and accompaniments. We managed a walk to Polkerris and back along the coastal path one day, it was beautiful. Charlestown is very centrally placed so it was easy to pop over to the North coast in the hunt for better weather one day.
