Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently highlight the property's spotless condition and the high standard of cleanliness. The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to Charlestown harbour, restaurants, and attractions like the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Its peaceful setting in a private courtyard, despite being close to local amenities, is also appreciated.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the property cosy. The high-quality bedding and well-furnished rooms are noted, although one guest mentioned a preference for a larger bed.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, entertainment options, and a convenient parking space. However, a minor issue with WiFi and a comment about insufficient cutlery slightly affect the score.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the special touches like fresh scones, Prosecco, and other welcome gifts. While these gifts are warmly received, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Situated in the heart of one of the most attractive and sought after seaside villages in Cornwall, this beautifully and stylishly furnished stone cottage is set in a small private mews just a short stroll from the harbour of the historic Georgian working port of Charlestown. As you arrive and enter this delightful cottage you immediately sense the homely feel and character with a nautical influence that carries on throughout. Designed in an 'upside down' style the two bedrooms are both located on the ground floor along with the bathroom. On the first floor the open plan living room offers total comfort and relaxation with cosy seating, a country style dining area and a well equipped kitchen. Outside, the patio area offers a delightful suntrap where you can relax with a refreshing drink and decide whether to dine alfresco or take a short walk to one of the fine choices of restaurants, pubs and cafes. Charlestown to this day remains unspoilt and full of Georgian character. Looking at the fleet of magnificent square rigger ships in the harbour you are transported back into a bygone era and it is easy to see why this is such a popular setting for films and TV series such as Poldark. A wonderful setting in a beautiful cottage for a truly memorable holiday whatever time of year.
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, its the perfect holiday destination. The area is rich in golf courses with Carlyon Bay and Porthpean close by. The picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey is 20 minutes' drive away by car, while the Lost Gardens of Heligan, several stately homes and gardens and the fabulous Eden Project are all within 5 miles, with Newquay and North Cornwall coast only a 35 minute drive away by car.

Oh Buoy! is a fantastic little cottage. Very well equipped and comfortable. We loved how close the cottage was to the harbour and in walking distance of many pubs/cafes/restaurants. We would love to come back in the future! Thanks again.
