Pochin House plays host to a selection of stylish, modern apartments set in a private complex, with access through an electric wrought iron gateway. Within the once thriving mining town of St Austell an original chimney from Lovering’s Clay Dry still sits tall with the grounds. At its height, china clay mining was a huge industry in the area.
From your private parking space, a few steps take you into the house, where on the first floor you will find your holiday home. Once inside, you are greeted by a comfortable, inviting living room with three sofas so you will have plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The kitchen/dining room is a gloriously bright room, with an expansive set of angled windows with far reaching views. There is an abundance of work surface space, storage and high level of equipment, including a separate utility room. A kitchen table adorns the centre of this impressive room. There are two bedrooms, one with twin beds, the other with kingsize bed and en-suite bathroom comprising a curved corner shower. A further family bathroom boasts a bath with electric shower over.
Within easy reach of your location is the world-famous Eden Project, a huge indoor rainforest and tropical gardens beneath state-of-the art-Biomes. The fascinating Wheal Martyn Clay Works Museum takes you back to the industry for which the area was recognised and revered globally. The beaches at Carlyon Bay, Duporth and Par have expanses of white to golden sand, coves and cliff top walks. Charlestown transports you back to a time when tall ships would depart to far off shores and still has a small fleet of these beautiful vessels today. Here there are restaurants and pubs, and the Shipwreck Museum is well worth a visit. St Austell has a large range of shops and eateries, whilst a little along the coast lies Fowey within an area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You will find narrow streets, boutique shops and superb architecture, superb sea views and its very own wonderfully named Readymoney Cove.

The flat is well positioned for various tourist attractions, e.g. The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, and National Trust properties, as well as some beaches.There are shops e.g. Tesco express, Aldi nearby.The flat itself is well proportioned with plenty of space, seating and equipment.A minor down side was the lack of milk in the welcome pack and cerial bowls.

Great accommodation, very quiet and clean. It was surprisingly more spacious than the pictures suggested and you get a great view over St. Austell with the sea in the distance from the kitchen windows. The kitchen is one of the best stocked that I have encountered in terms of equipment.I contacted the owner prior to going to double check the access arrangements as we had a long journey to get there. I received a quick and helpful response and it was very straight-forward getting parked up and getting into the apartment.Great location, shops are close by, and it is a 5 minute drive to the Eden project.
