Impressively, this property rests just a short distance away from the ever-popular Eden Project, a botanical garden with a collection of plants from many diverse climates and environments. Slightly further afield is the enchanting Lost Gardens of Heligan and the pretty coastal village of Charlestown, famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the ancient harbour. Other places worth visiting includes the small town of Fowey, which rests at the mouth of the Fowey River and Mevagissey, a quaint fishing port resting five miles south of St Austell.

St Blazey is a small town situated within Cornwall, just three miles miles east of St Austell and was formerly an important engineering centre for the local mining and railway industries. Within the town you will find a superb range of amenities, making a great base for touring the Eden Project, the nearby village of Charlestown with its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path.

The parking at the coop is very close to the cottage with many space... Greater cookingpots for a family of 4 persons will be great ... Befor booking the cottage, we had no information about the case, that Middleway is a road often used by coaches, lorrys and loud motorcycles. Both sleepingsrooms are to the roadside.

The kitchen wasnât very clean - cupboard doors were dirty and sticky. The drain smell when the dishwasher was on was awful. The hard floor on the ground floor was really dirty. You could tell it had been mopped as there were mopping marks but the floor was still dirty. The front of the cottage is dirty (flooring, paint work, meter cupboard) so the general appearance isnât great. The garden is also unkept - over grown & messy. The deck, chairs and table were filthy. All in all I felt really let down and itâs certainly not good value for the money. On the positive side it was a really good location for the Eden project and the bathroom was clean (apart from the extractor which is filthy). A lot of the above is so easy to fix with better housekeeping and more attention to detail. A welcome pack would be appreciated as well as some general instructions about locating switches for things (the oven for example) and instructions about bins. A few tips - the house needs to be aired and it needs a dehumidifier. Less Knick knacks - theyâre not needed - you need empty surfaces to put your own stuff when staying at a holiday cottage. Sort out the crockery, cutlery etc in the kitchen - itâs such a mix of random things. Provide a airer for drying beach towels etc - a heated airer would be even better to counteract the general dampness of the cottage.
