Stone's Throw in St. Austell, Cornwall, offers a well-equipped apartment with access to a private beach and is within walking distance to Charlestown. Guests appreciate the property's peaceful location and proximity to local attractions. While some maintenance issues are noted, the apartment's decor, spaciousness, and amenities like balconies and a private beach are highlights for many visitors.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cleanliness of Stone's Throw receives mixed feedback. Some guests report the apartment as spotless and immaculate, while others mention areas needing attention, such as dusty furniture, cobwebs, and dirty windows. The variance in experiences suggests room for improvement in consistency.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to Charlestown, private beach access, and convenience for visiting local attractions. The peaceful area and good bus service are also appreciated, although some guests note the need to drive for groceries.

Comfort levels are generally satisfactory, with guests enjoying the spaciousness and furnishings. However, there are several complaints about the quality of mattresses and bedding, as well as issues with hot water in showers, which detract from the overall comfort.

Facilities are well-regarded for their aesthetic and equipment, but maintenance issues such as problematic showers, lack of hot water, and insufficient kitchenware are recurrent concerns. The absence of a dishwasher is noted, and some guests encountered difficulties with other appliances.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category based on the reviews provided.

About this property

This contemporary first-floor apartment is situated in a select development near the historic harbour village of Charlestown, just ten minutes' walk to a gated beach. Ideally located for a beach holiday and also touring the south coast of Cornwall, this is a lovely apartment for a small family. After parking in your reserved space, you enter the apartment via a lift to the first floor where along the hallway you will find two bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, along with a family bathroom. The double room also has a balcony, ideal for an early morning cup of coffee. The spacious open plan living area has comfortable sitting and dining areas as well as the well-equipped kitchen, plus there is also a patio accessed from the sitting area. From the apartment it is a delightful short stroll to the beach. Walk through the communal gardens down to the gated entrance for which you are supplied with a code. After a day spent relaxing on the beach, take the short walk into Charlestown which boasts a superb choice of pubs, bistros and restaurants where a wonderful time can be had. Stroll past the famous tall ships which are often moored up and sit on the harbour wall as you gaze out across the sea; a wonderful way to spend a memorable evening. This apartment is an excellent base for discovering many of the leading tourist attractions in the area such as St. Austell, one of the largest towns in Cornwall, as well as the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, which are both short drives away. With such a good location for discovering the Cornish coast, this apartment provides a most comfortable base for a holiday or short break at any time of year.

Charlestown is a delightful and much sought-after coastal village of stone cottages and Regency houses, on the south coast near St. Austell. Famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path, it's the perfect holiday destination.

    It was mostly clean, but there was a lot of dust under the furniture and some cobwebs on the ceiling. The key code was late coming through, but after prompting, it was texted before we arrived at the apartment. It was tricky trying to work out how to set the heating initially, but we managed to work it out. However, we couldn't get the DVD player to work or the washing machine which was completely dead. We texted the owner, but got no response. The kitchen wasn't particularly well kitted out, so we avoided cooking most of the time sadly. We have stayed in better equipped holiday homes in Cornwall.

    I do online trading and some websites were restricted by a parental lock. I had to purchase BTWifi in order to stream and browse freely.
