This charming Grade II-listed cottage in the picturesque village of Charlestown is ideal for small families, couples or friends looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. The property is just 500 metres from Charlestown’s historic harbour, plenty of seafood eateries, and a shingle beach for seaside strolls. Keen walkers can access the famous South West Coast Path (500 metres) to enjoy hikes with spectacular coastal views. Head to the world-famous Eden Project (3.5 miles) for a perfect day out.

On arrival at this welcoming two-storey property, step into a hallway with cottage-style stairs leading up to the first floor. Downstairs, the hallway opens into a cosy and homely living room with two sofas, one armchair, and a Smart TV – everything you need to unwind after a day of exploring. The cottage style includes characterful features, from beamed ceilings and exposed stonework to a Belfast sink and a Cornish dresser. The kitchen is home to all the necessary appliances for rustling up your favourite meals or a picnic. A large dining table is perfect for mealtimes and planning activities. Upstairs, you’ll discover a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom. An additional smaller room serves as a dressing room or a workspace. A bathroom completes the features of this beautiful Cornish cottage. Outside, dine alfresco in the enclosed front garden, which combines a furnished, paved terrace with a good-sized lawn. At the back of the house, across the shared pathway, steps lead up to a second garden overlooking fields at the rear. There is on-street parking (subject to availability) and a 24-hour car park less than 500 metres away (charges apply).

Further afield are the iconic Lost Gardens of Heligan (6.5 miles), offering a magical glimpse into one of England’s most fascinating garden restorations. The nearby fishing village of Mevagissey (5.5 miles) is a must-see destination, where colourful cottages and harbourside pubs create a picture-postcard setting for a leisurely afternoon. For coastal adventures, explore Duporth and Porthpean beaches and Polridmouth Cove, all within 10 miles, and all well worth a visit.

Lovely comfortable cottage, clean and well appointed. Location with regards to Charlestown was perfect - super quiet yet less that 5 mins from the town and eateries. Only downside was a struggle to find green spaces for our dog. Beaches in Charlestown not dog friendly and the next nearest beach at Carlyon Bay was awful - covered in litter and noRead moret real sand which our dog cut his paw pad on as it was so sharp. We intend to return to the cottage as it is so well placed for visiting the area. Holidaycottages reply: Thank you for your feedback. Updated information on local dog walks is now provided in the cottage. Hide
