The cottage has been well cared for, I’m quite picky but had nothing to complain about at all. The two levels of small patio and garden caught the sun morning and evening, and from the upper level we could see the sea. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance, so no need to drive. ##### Andy E.

Carole's place is a lovely, cozy cottage, with plenty of light and lovely views of the harbour. While the rooms are not large, there are plenty of them with room for everything. Carole is a very accommodating host, leaving us all the makings of a cream tea and a bottle of wine. The restaurants and shops are only a few steps away. Highly recommend.

And Mona's Cottage is an ideal home from which to do so. It has a nice lay out, is very well furnished and has all the nice touches you might want, including a hallway where you can take off your boots and hang up all your outdoor clobber. There are several excellent eating out options in the village and a nearby Tesco if you prefer to self cater most of the time, as we did. I can also recommend the 1.5 mile cliff walk from the village to Carlyon Bay where there are a number of cafe and drink options on the beach. ##### Paul H.

House is lovely and everything is provided. We had a little welcome package too which was very much appreciated. Charlestown is close to lots of lovely places to visit including the Lost gardens of Heligan, the Eden project and St Austells brewery. There are also lots of coffee shops, bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona L. 4 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very enjoyable Lovely cottage within the village of Charlestown. Comfortable and well equipped, with pleasant outdoor areas. The beds were comfortable and the shower great. We enjoyed the proximity to the coastal path, and Charlestown picturesque harbour with its pubs and restaurants. Handy for getting to Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan which were both great. Also nearby to many villages and beaches. there is so much to see in Cornwall that we didn't manage this time, which all felt within reach with a car from the cottage. We felt the village was missing a corner/grocery shop for essentials, but the supermarkets and bakeries in St Austell are close by and straightforward to get to. ##### Fiona L.

It was the perfect place to take day trips by car throughout Cornwall. The hosts were amazing, very responsive and accommodating. They provided additional items such as a pack n play, baby gate and bathtub for our daughter. We were traveling from the states with a little one so the extra attention to making things easier with her was greatly appreciated. Charlestown was so beautiful that we spent several days just staying there, our stay was 8 nights but we easily could have stayed a month. Would absolutely rent again if we’re back in Cornwall, Charlestown was extremely easy to drive into by car and the parking is convenient and easy at the cottage, can’t recommend enough! ##### Robert O. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay B. 17 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Charlestown Retreat We had a wonderful stay in this amazing cottage. Lots of room for the whole family and the amenities were great. Charlestown can be notoriously busy, but since this cottage is behind the shipwreck center it was peaceful and quiet even on a busy weekend. Loved waking up to the view of the sea in the distance. We will absolutely consider staying again on a future trip! If I had to come up with any suggestions, I might suggest getting some bedside lamps so that kids who are afraid of the dark can have some light on all night without having to keep the overhead light on. We moved a lamp from the lounge to my daughter's room while we were there so she could have some light. Thanks again for the use of this amazing cottage! ##### Lindsay B.

We‘re from Germany and did spend several holidays in UK already, also in Cornwall. But this place is rather special. The Cottage itself is spacious for a family of 4 (including two Teenagers), is well equipped, great comfortable beds and a remarkable powerfull shower. For the Teenagers: yes, WiFi was also strong and stable… Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video if you bring your own Logins, Bluray Player with loads of DVDs etc There is a protected patio with morning sun, which was our preferred place to enjoy breakfeast, parking at site, kitchen well equipped, too. While Charlestown can be busy at times, this Cottage sits just on the edge, so you will always have a great great retreat with all that you need for an evening drink or dinner just steps away. The coastal path is just around the corner and we had Walks wit outstanding views e. g. from Looe to Gribbin Head - but also directly from Charlestown to Carlyon Beach (20-30 min). Many things to do are just around the corner. We did trips to Eden Project, Mevagissey, Looe, St Ives, Truro, Lizard Point, Fowey…. All within +/- 1h drive and much more would have been reachable within same time. While unfortunately St Austell itself isn‘t the nicest city in Cornwall, it offers almost all supermarkets like Tesco, a 24h ASDA, Lidl and Aldi, others… We can only recommend this place. Will definetely not forget our holidays here. ##### Andreas N.

Great hosts. Great location. Summary - Great. Well located to visit everywhere we wanted and Charlestown was beautiful. Note: make reservations even in off-season. Only got to try 2 restaurants & both..... great. ##### John B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved everything about this place We had an amazing time here. The cottage itself was perfect, and so was Charlestown. I wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were very kind and made themselves available if we needed anything. On our last day here my youngest stated that the cottage felt like home. Couldn’t recommend it more! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ship Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-The-Ship-Inn.h6184266.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Llawnroc ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-The-Llawnroc-Hotel.h4525245.Hotel-Information) > > [Lil' Nauti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Lil-Nauti.h38286196.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Mevagissey Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Mevagissey-Bay-Hotel.h17837458.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlyon Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Carlyon-Bay-Hotel.h2175669.Hotel-Information) > > [Shepherd's Hut Gorran Haven, Panoramic Ocean Views](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Shepherds-Hut-In-Gorran-Haven.h45840119.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bugle Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-The-Bugle-Inn.h7341459.Hotel-Information) > > [Hallane Mill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Hallane-Mill.h33338757.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Trevalsa Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Trevalsa-Court-Hotel.h4633430.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information)
