A lovely stay. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable - just like home from home. The cream tea on arrival was a welcoming gesture. The location was ideal for our purpose of visiting elderly parents in St Austell.

Lovely cottage which was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Parking available on road outside too. Very cosy with wood burner and just a very short stroll from the village of Charlestown. Lovely to have a cream tea there on our arrival. I highly recommend this cottage and will certainly stay there again in the future.
