The Old Smoke House is an attractive and well designed two bedroomed property

The Old Smoke House is a charming and vibrant property offering captivating harbour views, nestled in the historic setting of Charlestown, renowned as the home of The Tall Ships. This sought-after location is especially popular thanks to its role as a filming location for the television series Poldark. In fact, the harbour is a fascinating attraction to visit and explore in its own right.

Stepping into the property, you'll be greeted by a fully-equipped kitchen featuring modern amenities such as an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. There is also a convenient breakfast bar with seating for four, perfect for enjoying meals. Moving into the living area, you'll find a comfortable sofa, an additional armchair, a television/DVD player, and lovely patio doors that flood the space with natural light. Ascending the stairs, the property's character continues with exposed beams and vibrancy. The first bedroom boasts a king-size bed, a television, and ample natural light streaming in through the windows. The second bedroom is equipped with two single beds and its own television. The family shower room features a spacious shower, a wash basin, and a WC. Additionally, there's a practical cupboard on the first floor housing a washing machine and tumble dryer for your convenience.

Through the patio doors, you are greeted with a charming patio and garden area, with outdoor furniture and accompanied by glorious sea views, perfect for catching some Cornish sunshine.

Charlestown is within easy access to The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan and enjoys the benefits of many adjacent restaurants, cafes, pubs and interesting shops. It really is an ideal location for families or couples seeking to explore this beautiful coastline.

Highly recommended!
The Old Smoke House was such a pleasant place to stay, very relaxing and comfortable, in the centre of Charlestown and close to the harbour. It was extremely well presented, immaculately clean and provided everything that we needed. The owner was very helpful, providing information before our arrival and at the property itself. Charlestown is just lovely, with it’s harbour and plenty of good bars and restaurants, as well as being a great location for exploring more of Cornwall.

Excellent stay
The property had everything that we needed for our holiday and was in an excellent location. It was within walking distance of bars and restaurants. The house was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would love to return but unfortunately the prices have risen so much for next year that it would be cheaper to go on an all inclusive holiday. If prices were to drop in future year’s, we wouldn’t hesitate to return

Perfect!
The Old Smokehouse is a beautiful little cottage in an ideal location. We had everything in Charlestown at our fingertips. The property itself was spotlessly clean, perfectly proportioned and contained every amenity we could need. Highly recommend.

Lovely comfortable cottage in great location
Lovely cottage, it was very comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. It was a shame there was no dining table. Well equipped garden could have been made prettier with few pots of flowers. Charlestown a pretty place to stay and in good area to travel all over Cornwall. Overall a good holiday house and would return.

Very well decorated property with all furniture at a high standard.
It would have been nice to have at least 1 toilet roll in place after driving 300 miles to get there. Only a small detail but having no toilet roll at all was disappointing.

A fantastic stay at the Old Smoke House
We had such a wonderful time staying at the Old Smoke House. The location is ideal, in the heart of Charlestown and overlooking the harbour. The property is beautifully decorated and very cosy. We enjoyed the sunny terrace at the end of every day and will definitely come back very soon.

Amazing View!
I booked this property at the last minute due to the Covid pandemic. I wanted somewhere family and dog friendly beside the sea and preferably with a sea view. The Old Smoke House exceeded my expectations! The view over Charlestown Harbour to the sea was stunning! The double doors to the back garden area as well as the master bedroom all looked towards the harbour and sea! We had amazing weather, sunshine every day and this harbour town is both beautiful and interesting with lots of costal walks, beaches and restaurants. The actual harbour beach was sadly not dog friendly in August but there were plenty a short drive away. The property is full of character and in such a lovely location. The neighbours were also very welcoming and friendly. My only negative comment would be cleaning. The house overall very clean but there was an unfortunate smell of sick in the lounge which seemed to come from the sofa. We couldn’t identify a source but the smell got worse as the week went on. However that was my only issue. I would highly recommend the property, the stunning view and location to others. I would definitely return to the Smokehouse again.

Lovely house in a lovely location
Right in the middle of Charlestown, close to the beach with access to lovely walks along the coast. Lots of great amenities in Charlestown too. The Old Smokehouse is a lovely place, cosy and has all the amenities you need.

Perfectly placed, cosy and comfortable
A very clean and well presented little place right in the centre of Charlesville, so everything was very conveniently on the doorstep. Everything was nice quality, the beds were very comfortable and the whole place felt luxurious. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked. Simply and tastefully furnished. Fantastic shower! Nice views from the main bedroom over the quay. Just a very nice, perfectly formed little place that was a pleasure to come back to at the end of each day.
