Jolly Crabber

About this property

St Austell 2 miles. Jolly Crabber rests in the coastal village of Porthpean, near St Austell, offering a charming Grade II-listed bolthole steeped in local heritage and well positioned for exploring Cornwall’s scenic south coast. Steps lead down to a cobbled path and the property’s entrance, creating a sense of arrival as you approach. Inside, the welcoming open-plan living space brings together the kitchen, dining and sitting areas in one warm and sociable setting, where you can sink into the sofa, flick on the Smart TV (please use your own log in) and settle in after a day by the sea.

This inviting space is well-suited to relaxed evenings, whether you are unwinding with a film or lingering over supper together. The thoughtfully arranged kitchen features an electric oven and hob, adding a touch of traditional character while providing everything needed for a comfortable stay, from heating up a hearty supper on the gas hob to stocking the fridge/freezer with local produce and warming something quick in the microwave before heading out again. A useful cloakroom with basin and WC completes the ground floor, while a narrow staircase leads up to the first floor. Upstairs, a beautifully presented king-size bedroom offers a calm and restful retreat, where exposed timber flooring, an ornate fireplace and built-in wardrobes add character, and sea views provide a soothing backdrop as you unwind at the end of the day, served by a bathroom complete with bath, shower over, basin, heated towel rail and WC, ideal for a long soak after coastal walks.

Outside, the private courtyard with furniture offers a relaxed spot for a morning coffee or a quiet pause before setting off. There is off-road parking for two cars to the front, keeping things straightforward. With heritage, coastline and countryside all close at hand, Jolly Crabber makes a cracking base for a Cornish escape. Note: This property can be booked with ref. 1148771 and ref 1197335 together sleeping up to 10 guests.

Sitting peacefully in the beautiful county of Cornwall just a mile from the south coast with its numerous sheltered, sandy, beaches, you will find the historic market town of St Austell. Filled with a range of pubs and bars, and scrumptious local eateries, St Austell has a train station on the mainline connecting you easily to Truro and on down to Penzance. Newquay can also be reached by train via a quick change at nearby Par. St Austell’s central location in Cornwall provides the perfect setting for your next holiday to the Southwest. Spend your days on exciting outings to such attractions as The Eden Project or the nearby historical port of Charlestown, where you can see artefacts recovered from local shipwrecks at the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Head to Porthpean Beach for a tranquil walk along the soft sands or hire a kayak for a paddle in the calm, crystal clear waters, before pampering yourself at The Clearing Spa or enjoying a quick nine holes at St Austell Golf Club. Grab some fresh ingredients from the local supermarket on your way back to your holiday home for an evening of wining and dining indoors. St Austell is the ultimate setting for a fabulous coastal getaway.
