Situated 50yds Off The Harbour, Views Over Sea & Near Coastline, Quality Finish
About this cottage rental
Situated in Saint Austell, this lovely cottage for $241 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Our aim is to make you feel comfortable and completely at home in our 1860's cottage, which has been extensively renovated throughout. 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 gives plenty of family living space whatever the weather. The location is just above the harbour, away from the crowds at peak times, offering privacy yet immediate access to the village, harbour and beaches, ideal for exploring the area on foot, by bus or car. Parking for yourselves and your guests is right outside. A Stable door opens onto the private, sheltered, granite/brick courtyard with elevated lawn area. Ideal to chill out at lunchtime or spend an hour whilst the rest of your party are having a stroll or on the beach. There is both sun and shade. Pop down in two minutes for lunch with them in the pub. Prior to booking please feel free to phone for an informal chat as we want you to be totally at ease about choosing to stay in Mona's 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 right hand one of these.

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing cottage. Lots of room for the whole family and the amenities were great. Charlestown can be notoriously busy, but since this cottage is behind the shipwreck center it was peaceful and quiet even on a busy weekend. Loved waking up to the view of the sea in the distance. We will absolutely consider staying again on a future trip!
If I had to come up with any suggestions, I might suggest getting some bedside lamps so that kids who are afraid of the dark can have some light on all night without having to keep the overhead light on. We moved a lamp from the lounge to my daughter's room while we were there so she could have some light.
Thanks again for the use of this amazing cottage!

Lovely cottage within the village of Charlestown. Comfortable and well equipped, with pleasant outdoor areas.
The beds were comfortable and the shower great.
We enjoyed the proximity to the coastal path, and Charlestown picturesque harbour with its pubs and restaurants.
Handy for getting to Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan which were both great. Also nearby to many villages and beaches. there is so much to see in Cornwall that we didn't manage this time, which all felt within reach with a car from the cottage.
We felt the village was missing a corner/grocery shop for essentials, but the supermarkets and bakeries in St Austell are close by and straightforward to get to.

We loved the stay at Mona`s Cottage in a perfect location.
The cottage was like described and offered everything you need for a nice holiday.
The most advantage was the lovely chimney and the short distance to harbour and beach.
The friendly welcome gave us a good feeling at the cottage.

We loved staying at Mona's Cottage. It was very comfortable with a great dining table for family card games, social living room, nice outdoor courtyard and absolutely great location for exploring Charlestown, taking coastal walks, and visiting nearby sites (Eden Project is a must see). I would definitely book again!

We had an amazing time here. The cottage itself was perfect, and so was Charlestown. I wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were very kind and made themselves available if we needed anything. On our last day here my youngest stated that the cottage felt like home. Couldn’t recommend it more!

What a lovely 1800’s built cottage in Charlestown, a hidden picturesque harbour town. The stay at Monas Cottage was fantastic so central for a nice stroll onto the harbour and beach. Fabulous pubs and restaurants. The host was so attentive throughout our break, just a text message away with advice on taxis, eatery’s and general information on the area. Will definitely be back :-)

Great base to explore Cornwall.
This is a cute, cozy cottage. It's perfectly located to explore Cornwall. The house is very well appointed. The bathrooms are modern as well as the kitchen. It was perfect for us. The three bedrooms were very good size and had great views of the garden or the ocean. It's a very quiet area of Charlestown. The pizza place down the street was a fun place to hang out and eat. Overall the place was perfect for us. A few things need some attention: new towels and pillows would would be great. The furnishings and carpet in the lounge could do with a refresh.
The house is so solidly built you won't hear a thing from the outside or next door and the Wifi is so fast and consistent I was amazed. All-in-all it was a great stay in a fun cottage. Can't wait to return. PS If you want a Sunday roast at the RashleighArms get there early, they sell out fast.

A well equipped cottage in the quaint Charlestown which is an excellent location to base yourself for exploring the local area. The cottage has two double beds and a room that can be made up for two singles which was cosy but fine for Young adults. The kitchen has all you need to be self sufficient and the dining area can easily seat 6. The cottage is set back on a side road so it is very quiet. Charlestown was great with a good selection of pubs and restaurants, the nearest supermarket was only 5 mins away. Carole was very helpful and left scones on arrival.

A lovely cottage in the perfect location
We really enjoyed staying in Mona's cottage. The cottage is a good size, very clean, well furnished and nicely decorated. It is in a great location for walking around Charlestown and as a base for exploring the nearby area. Carole was very nice and got back to us on any enquiries we had and kindly provided a high chair and pack and play for our youngest child - lovely hospitality

A comfortable, well equipped cottage ideally placed for visiting Cornwall's many attractions.
We loved staying in Mona's cottage. It is ideally located for walking to the harbour, local pubs and restaurants yet tucked away and quiet. It was an easy drive to The Eden Project, Heligan and Fowey as well as the St Austel brewery. The house was clean, warm, comfortable and welcoming. All essential elements for a winter break. It was also extremely well equipped with everything needed for self catering including those essential store cupboard items. So nice to be left milk, tea, coffee biscuits and wine. Carole was extremely helpful in answering our questions and sorting out our needs before our arrival and it was good to be met by her on our arrival. She ensured we were happy with everything before she left. I would certainly like to recommend this cottage and would love to return.

Mona's cottage is situated in a fantastic location within Charlestown. You can walk to the beach in 2 minutes, the cottage is very spacious with a great view. Carole our lovely host welcomed us with Scones and refreshments, this meant we could have a drink after a long drive. The courtyard and garden area got the sun most of the day and well into the night. Would we stay here again the answer would always be YES. Thank you Carole & Malcolm we will be back.

Cosy quiet cottage with sea view
The cosy old-style cottage was well equipped. We had quiet nights and felt happy there. Carole and Malcom were very busy to help us (including transport to the station). A lot of pubs nearby served excellent food. A great location worth to be visited again.

Perfect location in a lovely quiet cottage just a short distance from the delightful and picturesque harbour. The cottage was just perfect and had everything you could possibly need. Can highly recommend.

Beautifully appointed cottage in an idyllic setting.
We brought some Australian visitors to visit Cornwall and the location was an ideal base to visit the surrounding areas. The cottage itself has been sympathetically modernised (but still keeping traditional features) and well decorated and furnished with everything you could wish for, especially in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and pretty linens were provided as well as towels. Everything was spotlessly clean.
The owner met us on arrival and could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
The fishing village itself was very picturesque with several pubs providing excellent food and other local amenities are close by with St Austell only a few minutes away.

A well equiped and cosy cottage with a view of the sea
Carole was very helpful in answering our questions promptly prior to the holiday. She also put a lovely lit Christmas tree and left a few lovely surprises to make us feel welcome.

Great location smashing house!
The cottage looks even more charming and well-lit inside than the photos suggest. It has been restored beautifully with period-appropriate detail and decorated in a clean and minimalistic (but sufficiently warm) style. Some partial to good sea views from the front bedrooms and the upper part of the garden. The house is just up the hill from the historic harbor where there are plenty of good food options for such a small village. The village is centrally located along the coast, which is helpful as the best sandy beaches are further along the coast (but in areas that were too quiet for my taste). The kitchen has perfectly adequate but not generous equipment so we cooked in several nights. Very happy with our stay and would definite book again.

A perfect place in a perfect location
This home was even better than the pictures! It was comfortable and plenty of space for all 6 adults. The outdoor patio was such a wonderful surprise- we enjoyed many a Cornish beer and cider there listening to the sheep baaing in the background. The location was just around the corner to several great restaurants- we stayed 5 days and enjoyed 4 different restaurants! (We ate in Mevagissey one night). We loved that the hiking and biking trail was so nearby and it was beautiful. Carole greeted us so wonderfully even though we were much much later than we had expected. We were pleasantly surprised that Carole had left us breakfast food including clodded cream, plus a bottle of wine! Charlestown was such a quaint town! The shower had good pressure and the beds were comfortable. We even used the washer/ dryer once. This was a perfect start to an absolutely wonderful holiday!

A Little Slice of Paradise
Mona's Cottage overlooks the beautiful harbour in Charlestown, St Austell. The sea views are amazing and can be seen from every bedroom, which is such a lovely way to start the day! Charlestown is a great place with some lovely restaurants and bars. It's a great base to travel around Cornwall, and I couldn't think of a better cottage to stay in than Mona's. Inside and out, it has been so beautifully restored and tastefully decorated by the owners Carole and Malcolm, who are so friendly, welcoming and helpful and can't do enough to make your stay so perfect.
The cottage is a real home from home, with everything you could ever want or need for a fantastic holiday. We had such a great time, and will definitely be visiting Cornwall and most definitely staying at Mona's again.
Thanks so much Carole & Malcolm for looking after us xx

Mona's cottage provides traditional charm combined with the covenience of a modern, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Not that we used the kitchen much with the handful of lovely pubs and restaurants a short stroll away in the lovely harbour with the tall ship moored up.
We had a lovely, sunny 4 days and therefore made full use of the sun trap courtyard even for breakfast.
This is an excellent base to see the likes of the Eden Project and the Gardens of Heligan. Lovely coastal walks too. There is everything you could want.
