Carole's Cottage - Private Parking, Sea Views, Garden & Close To Harbour & Beach

*Welcome To Carole’s Cottage*

As you step through the charming entrance, you’ll feel the warmth of a bygone era embrace you. This beautifully restored 1840s, Grade II listed gem, marries timeless character with modern comforts, ensuring you have a delightful retreat whether you're here for a long weekend getaway or an extended stay. The original slate front, a rare piece of history, is a testament to the cottage's rich heritage, providing a unique snapshot of village life long ago.

The stone-built cottage boasts features including a fully equipped, farmhouse style, kitchen with four ring gas hob, double oven/grill, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer. There are two spacious reception rooms enjoying a SMART TV, feature gas fire and access to complimentary 300MB ultrafast WIFI. Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms (one double with sea views and one twin with village views) and a luxury fully fitted shower room. The courtyard and garden can be accessed via the traditional stable kitchen door and are completely enclosed and private. This provides the perfect place to unwind, read a book or to enjoy the Cornish summer sun with alfresco dining. Private allocated parking for two vehicles is situated directly to the front of the cottage. Should you wish to leave the car at home then Charlestown itself is well connected by public transport.

When you are ready to venture out the harbour, eateries, beaches and coastal paths are just a stone’s throw away ready and waiting to be explored. Further afield and within a short drive are some must see Cornish attractions which include the world-famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan amongst many others. There are also many a National Trust property in Cornwall that are always worth a visit.

We are committed to making your stay with us truly unforgettable, that's why we offer a range of thoughtful touches including an in-person welcome, complimentary goodies on arrival and even transfers to and from the railway station. We'll even arrange, if needed, transfers to and from Newquay Airport at a nominal cost, so you can focus on what really matters – making the most of your Cornish getaway.

Before booking, you are welcome to get in touch for an informal chat, so we can answer any questions you may have to ensure this is the perfect fit for your needs. We want you to feel completely at ease, knowing that you've made the right choice for your holiday.

A Lovely cottage in a brilliant location
A comfortable, cosy cottage in a brilliant location. A lovely courtyard at the rear of the cottage - perfect for sundowners. Carole and Malcolm couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. A cream tea and bottle of wine was especially appreciated. Would return in a heartbeat.

First visit to Charlestown
We spent a lovely week in Charlestown, travelling by train to St Austell and a 5 min taxi. The cottage is perfectly located for the harbour, tucked away from the crowds. Easy walks to local beaches (Duporth our favourite). Cottage was well equipped with good wifi.

Charlstown break for two
A great cottage in a fabulous location. The cottage had everything we needed and a lovely suntrap little garden where we sipped our evening G and T. Goodies left in the fridge were a nice suprise (they didn,t last long!) Spotlessly clean and very comfortable . Just what we needed.

Great property in a great location.
Met by hosts with a warm welcome and a cream tea which set the tone for an enjoyable stay. Great location in Charlestown just above the harbour. Enjoyed days on the shingle beach and evenings in the many hospitality outlets. Would recommend both the excellently equipped property and Charlestown as a holiday location.

A lovely cottage in a good location. It has everything that you would want. Good location (although the noise from the pub kitchen wasn't ideal). Would certainly consider a return visit.

A perfect stay
We just loved this cottage. Our welcome from Carole was warms and we really appreciated the little food gifts. The location of the cottage is perfect, very near the 2 beaches and lots of cafes and restaurants. We had intended visiting lots of places but we actually stayed in Charlestown the whole week. Loved it!

Carole was excellent at making you feel welcome and that all your needs were met.
We found that the location within Charlestown was perfect. Far enough up to be away from the hubbub of the town and easy walking distance to everything. The cottage has been very nicely designed with modern kitchen and bathroom. Perfect.

This amazing cottage is right in the heart of the village. On arrival we were greeted with a warm smile from the owner who explained all we needed to know. We love the simple things in life like finding a pint of milk in the fridge along with a cream tea. Thank you so much Carole for helping us enjoy our holiday
