Captain’s Quarters

About this property

Settled in the popular Cornish, coastal village of Charlestown just paces away from the beach is Captain’s Quarters. This wonderful, dog-friendly holiday home benefits from a fabulous location close to local amenities and the abundance of attractions woven throughout Cornwall as well as off-road parking, a split-level, rear garden and two beautifully-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for small families or couples looking to explore all Cornwall has to offer. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen/diner where you can help rustle up hearty meals that the whole family can savour around the dining table. Spend the evening raising a toast to your getaway in the split-level garden or unwind on the plush sofas in front of the soothing warmth of the gas fire in the sitting room. When stars fill the sky, climb the stairs to wash off the day’s adventures in the sleek bathroom before sloping off to sleep in a sumptuous double bed. During the day take a leisurely stroll down to Charlestown Beach where you can stroll along its shores while admiring the breath-taking views of the 18th-century Georgian Harbour, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and across the English Channel; the inner harbour boasts plenty of pop-up eateries so you and your guests can enjoy a meal on the water's edge. The adventurous among you can follow the coast to Pentewan where you can take to the open water on paddle boards and kayaks! Notable, must-see attractions include the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, the iconic Eden Project, Wheal Martyn Clay Works and the spectacular sub-tropical The Lost Gardens Heligan. The famous coastal town of Newquay is also easily accessible by car, here families can tour its wonderful zoo and aquarium and outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element with the plethora of idyllic, surfing beaches and the South West Coast Path which spans an impressive 630 miles and runs through the town. Adventure awaits at Captain’s Quarters.

Charlestown, a small village on the Cornish coast, is just half a mile from the action in St. Austell and offers its own share of thrill and adventure. The community, which served as a hub for the tin and copper mining industries in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, currently features a variety of businesses, eateries, public green spaces, and seasonal attractions for visitors of all ages. The village's proximity to the seaside makes it a great starting point for exploring Cornwall's many attractions. After a pleasant drive, you'll arrive in Carlyon Bay, where you can relax on one of three beautiful beaches and learn all about the area's role in World War II. Relax on the warm sands or play a round of golf during the day, and then head to the NCI Charleston's picturesque overlook for a promenade at sunset. You'll be close to some of Cornwall's top sights, such as the Eden Project's fascinating biomes and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, one of the most visited botanical gardens in all of the United Kingdom for its unique beauty. St. Austell is a great place to spend the day shopping and eating because it has both unique boutiques and well-known chain stores, as well as restaurants catering to every taste. Holmush is the best home base for seeing all that Cornwall has to offer because of its proximity to Fowey, Truro, and Bodmin.
