Carole's Cottage in Charlestown, Prime Quiet Location 50yds from the Harbour
About this cottage rental
Located in Saint Austell, this attractive cottage for R 3,469 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. We aim to make you feel comfortable and completely at home in our 1860's cottage, which has been renovated throughout to give you a traditional feel of cosiness and quality. The original slate front is one of only two which still exist in the village. Two separate good size living rooms and a generous size kitchen offer plenty of family living space whatever the weather whilst the sheltered sunny and private garden is a major feature of the cottage- perfect for eating outside, relaxing with a book or sitting out in the evening. The period cast iron fireplace with gas fired coals gives a warm welcome if you are a little chilly whilst central heating warms the whole house. The cottage is located just above the Harbour but hidden from the crowds at peak times, . A hidden gem offering privacy, yet direct access to the village, harbour and beaches. Parking for yourselves and your guests is right outside. Chill out at lunchtime or spend an hour reading in the garden whilst the rest of your party are on the beach, fishing off the harbour or walking the coast path. A two minute walk will allow you to join the rest of the party for lunch with them in the pub. The stable door at the back opens onto the quiet, private, sunny, slate paved, garden at the back of the cottage. Our cottage has been totally renovated but retains a cottage feel. It has 2 comfortable sized bedrooms, the main one is a double with lovely sea views to greet you when you wake. The other is a generous twin. The cottage perfectly accommodates four and is the ideal place to explore the area on foot, by bus or car. Feel free to phone for an informal chat before booking as we want you to feel happy about staying in the cottage. If you stay here we can offer you free unlimited parking 100yds from St. Austell railway station for train days out. Alternatively, if you would like a car free holiday we can offer you complimentary transfers to and from the railway station at the beginning and end of your holiday. We can also arrange transfers to and from Newquay Airport at nominal cost. If you are trying to find the property on Google Earth there is no Street View as the roads in and around the harbour are all private and have not been surveyed. On the satellite view the cottage can be found by going to the top end of the harbour, look to the right to see the Shipwreck Centre. There is a road which is at right angles to the harbour running up the right hand side of the Shipwreck Centre and at the end on the opposite side there is a row of cottages on the right and a pair of cottages on the left which on the satellite view looks like a large detached property but is actually a pair of semis. The cottage is the left hand one of these. Golf at Carlyon Bay (look it up) one mile away. Horse riding widely available locally. Eden two miles away Heligan four miles away. Newquay sixteen miles away. Bike hire locally. Please ask about anything we have not thought about. If you fancy breakfast out or a mid afternoon cream tea then walk to Lovedays wonderful restaurant just across the road

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.

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's Cottage
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.

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.

Wow
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

Cosy
The property was perfectly located in Charlestown with a nice view of the bay from the bedroom window.
The mattress was rock hard and could feel some of the springs so could do with replacing.
We would have preferred to have had internet, couldn’t get mobile signal in the house.

Beautiful, peaceful cottage
Couldn't have wished for anything better. The cottage had everything you could need, well equipped kitchen even supplying tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk, clotted cream and scones on arrival along with a bottle of wine to unwind after your journey.
Everything was lovely and clean, fresh bedding and ample supply of tea, hand and bath towels.
The bathroom was perfect and spacious with a big walk in shower.
Carole the owner was there to greet us to make sure we were happy with everything, amazing friendly host.
Fantastic location for touring. We did Penzance, St. Ives, Porth,The Eden project and more.
The harbour itself is beautiful and a wonderful place to relax enjoy a meal and a drink.
Only downside, we couldn't find a normal little shop that supplied everyday items and newspapers in the harbour itself, but saying that, Asda, Tesco, Morrison and Aldi are only a short drive away.

Very clean and comfortable and everything you could want supplied
A very beautiful cottage with so much character and tastefully decorated throughout to reflect the history of the cottage and the surrounding area. A real step back in time but in a modern era. So cosy and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Parking outside property also a bonus. Lovely places to visit and plenty of places to eat with fabulous food. Carole, our host, was so accommodating and the gifts that were left were very much appreciated.

Lovely cottage in a superb location in Charlestown
I booked Carole’s cottage on behalf of my elderly grandparents who were travelling to Cornwall to attend my wedding. The whole process from booking to checking in was superb, Carole always responded to any email questions I had very promptly and called me on the day when the cottage was ready to hand over the keys in person.
The cottage itself is very pretty with a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and a walk in shower which was excellent for my grandparents who struggle to get in and out of a bath. There is also a parking space, which is rare in Charlestown when so close to the harbour.
The whole experience was great from start to finish and I highly recommend Carole’s cottage for its charm and amazing location in Charlestown.

A Wonderful Stay.
My husband and I stayed at Carole’s lovely cottage for a week in July. From the moment we arrived Carole and Malcolm made us feel welcome (thank you for the lifts). The cottage was perfect for our needs, very comfortable and cosy. The icing on the cake was the garden which is a sun trap at all times of the day, we loved having our breakfasts there.
Charlestown was a lovely place to stay, and we found getting around on public transport a breeze once we had timetables. It has a variety of eating places, The Longstore and the Boathouse were our favourites. The harbour offers many opportunities to sit and idle away the time if that is what you want to do, and I have to say we spent quite a time watching the comings and goings in the glorious sunshine. Everyone is friendly and helpful, locals are full of chat and information. We would return to Charlestown tomorrow and would certainly stay in Carole’s cottage. Thank you so much for a great time.x

Cosy Charlestown Cottage - a hidden gem
Carole's cottage is a very homely and cosy place to stay, it has some very special features like its stable doors. It's conveniently located near the harbour yet tucked away in a quiet spot directly behind the Shipwreck centre. We had everything we needed here, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils even including a recipe book and the back garden was a real sun trap. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Carole is a very friendly and helpful lady who even comes out to meet you on your first day - we've never had that in a holiday cottage before and its a nice touch. Thank you very much for everything, Carole.

Absolutely wonderful location and great presentation of cottage.
We loved staying here in this unique cottage. the only down fall for us was the size of the main bed. The little extra treats were a wonderful touch. Charlestown is very special and delivered everything I hoped for.

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.

Wunderbar
wir hatten eine traumhaft schöne Zeit. Das Haus ist genial. Es ist alles da was man benötigt. Auf dem Freisitz hat man die Abendsonne bis sie untergeht. Es ist ein prima Ausgangspunkt um Cornwall zu besuchen, wobei die Stadt St. Austell als solche nicht sehenswert ist. Ganz liebe Vermieter. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!!

Beautiful cottage, beautiful place
My husband and I had a short break in February, the owners of the cottage are so welcoming and friendly , good communication priior to stay. The cottage has been decorated and refurbished extremely well, and if you want a home from home plus more this is the place to stay. It was lovely to find flowers on the table and milk and cream tea in the fridge, very nice after a long journey. Didn't want to come home - Charlestown is an oasis lovely place steeped in history fascinating. Thank you Carole and Malcolm for making our holiday very special indeed. Jean and Rob

Wonderful Family Holiday
We can't recommend this wonderful, cosy cottage highly enough. Carole was lovely to communicate with and left some lovely goodies (fresh flowers, a cream tea & bottle of wine) to welcome us.
The cottage itself is gorgeous - tastefully decorated in line with the sensitive period restoration. It has everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. The views from the main bedroom are just lovely!! The central location within Charlestown is wonderful - the harbour with all its charm is right on the doorstep. Carole thoughtfully provided a high chair, and we found the cottage well suited to our 9 month old.
We couldn't have asked for a a better, more relaxing first family holiday!

Charlestown
The location of the rental was ideal to get around to see Eden Project, (Found!) Gardens of Heligan, and the north and south coast lines, Truro , Falmouth etc.
The cottage was spacious for 4 adults and very well looked after and appointed and provisioned with an excellent kitchen.
The restaurant choice (4) in the harbour area is very good and caters for all tastes and pockets.
