A very comfortable, cosy cottage a few mins walk from Charlestown harbour and the coastal path. Delicious cream tea laid out for our arrival which was much appreciated! A beautiful setting - we enjoyed the sea view from the house, the garden area to sit in and the variety of beaches in walking distance. There are also many good local places to eat too. We had travelled by train to St Austell and used local buses to get around, which worked well with the nearest bus stop a few mins walk away from the cottage. We visited the Eden Project, Heligan gardens, Mevagissy, Truro etc. The woodburner in the living rooom made for snug relaxing evenings. A shame we could not have stayed longer!
