    The property had good amenities and was clean and tidy. The local beaches are minutes away as are the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The only small issue was that no tea towel, hand towel or kitchen towel were provided for the kitchen

  • David

    Very comfortable and quiet and very easy to relax. All the information provided was accurate and made the stay very easy. So nice being able to walk the short 10min down into Charlestown for all the restaurants and pubs, and the private beach and coastal path all within a ten minute walk. A lovely stay without any reservations.

    The beds are super comfy. The property is a 10 minute walk into Charlestown but it is downhill, so obviously you have to walk back up! The private beach is just stunning, but again down a steep hill. A good base to check out Cornwall. My only problem is with the arrival and departure times of 5pm and 9am. These times were extended due to covid where extra time was needed for fogging and extra care, but haven't gone back to the normal times of 3pm and 10am. We left the night before, with a teenager, that extra hour in the morning is needed!
