The town has an eclectic mixture of shops, restaurants and pubs, many owned by the famous brewery of the same name. The world-renowned Eden Project, with its unique world beneath huge biomes, is just a short drive away, whilst Luxulyan Country Valley Park, a unesco World Heritage Site gives many glimpses into the once huge mining heritage.

House is lovely and would stop there again, but have an issue with the downstairs bedroom curtains at night maybe they could be black - out blinds as there is a street light across the road, and also some sort of curtains at the patio doors but that is our preference. Great spot near town. close to major super markets and a chinese takeaway and chip shop. Very well equipped and spotless and a wood burner and thank you for a fresh bottle of milk.

Cleanest holiday accommodation I’ve stayed in! Wonderful. As others have said it’s very well equipped, lots of thoughtful additions. This old cottage has recently been beautifully extended and renovated. We all said we could live there! Felt very at home. My mum has limited mobility so the downstairs bedroom & shower room meant she didn’t need to go upstairs at all. Not much spare space at the side of the double bed but she found it manageable. Nice touch to have a wash basin in this room too. About 3 deep ish steps in the back garden with a sturdy handrail (route from car parking space to back door) but if these aren’t manageable for anyone you could drop them off outside the front door then it’s just one very shallow step into the house. Tesco, Lidl, chip shop, charity shop, takeaway etc just further down the road. About 4-5 mins walk, suitable for a wheelchair or mobility scooter straight from cottage. 5 minutes by car to the sea. 6 minutes to the stunning Eden Project. Nice to know the friendly helpful owners live nearby if you have any problem (not that we did) Hope to stay again 😊

Really nice place to stay. The cottage itself has been recently renovated so super clean and tidy, well heated and comfortable. There is a big Tesco a few mins walk away and about 20min walk to Charlestown.
