Driftwood - St Austell

A gorgeous well equipped character cottage only yards from the historic stone harbour at Charlestown. There are lovely safe sandy beaches and stunning cliff top walks waiting to be explored.

This lovely cottage is located in the South Cornwall village of Charlestown, nestled in a courtyard with other cottages and has a small front garden for quiet relaxation. Charlestown has a beautiful and historic harbour which is still used today by local fisherman who supply the local restaurants with their catches.
It was named after Charles Rashleigh who had the harbour built in the1800’s so that china clay, copper and stone could be exported around the world. It is home to Tall Ships that are moored in the harbour and are of great interest to numerous visitors each year, especially when the Regatta is held during August, a celebration of all things nautical.
The Tall Ships have been used as a backdrop for a variety of drama and film productions using many of the locals as extras and include; Alice in Wonderland, Poldark, Rebecca, Frenchman’s Creek, The Onedin Line, Mansfield Park, The Three Musketeers, The Eagle Has Landed and many more.
The accommodation is reverse level and has one double and one twin bedroom plus family bathroom on the ground floor with an open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area on the first floor. The living space has a tranquil atmosphere with a comfortable dining space and a fully equipped kitchen with all the appliances you will need to enjoy your holiday. The cottage is decorated in soft colours and includes a television with DVD player available for your entertainment.
This pretty courtyard of cottages enjoys a quiet location yet is only 2 minutes walk away from the beautiful historic harbour at Charlestown and the beaches at Carlyon Bay and Duporth are only a 5 minute drive away. This is a perfect base from which to explore the stunning coast plus the Eden Project is only 4 miles drive. There are many sandy beaches and coves to explore in this part of Cornwall and this character cottage is highly recommended by the Pure Cornwall
