Harbourside Cottage is a Grade 2 listed Cornish Cottage nestled along the Harbour in the very popular town of Charlestown.
It has breathtaking views of the Sea and sleeps 6 guest in 2 King and 1 Superking bedrooms.

The cottage is refreshingly furnished making the best of both indoor and outside space it has a lawned garden and a sun terrace for BBQs.
The layout and what you'll have....
The Cottage is an 'upside down' house meaning the bedrooms are located on the ground floor with the spacious, bright open planned living room, dining area and kitchen on the first floor making the most of the truly spectacular views from all windows.
There is plenty of comfy seating in the living room with a large 3 seater sofa, 2 upholstered arm chairs and 2 wooden arm chairs plus 3 wonderful window seats at the front of the cottage overlooking the Harbour.
The 2 bedrooms at the front of the cottage overlook the Harbour.
The bedroom at the rear of the cottage has a fantastic ensuite bathroom with drench shower.
2 of the bedrooms are Zip & Link beds and can be twinned
Super Comfy Beds.....
We supply The White Company and Soak & Sleep bed linen, bedding and big fluffy bath towels.
The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with great quality utensils and appliances.
There is an electric hob, double oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer and washer/dryer.
Wifi....
The Wifi runs at over 100Mbps. Some phone networks will struggle to connect but Wifi calling works.
The Garden...
The back garden, BBQ area and sun terrace have views out to sea and is a very quiet & private space for the family to enjoy any time of the day.
Parking is free....
There is free parking along the road approx 50 meters away from the cottage for 1 car.
There are 2 carparks within a 5 minute walk for additional vehicles.
Famous for...
Charlestown was put on the map being the film location for Poldark, Pirates of the Caribbean and Tom Hardy's latest, Taboo. This stunning harbour town has quickly become one of the most popular towns in Cornwall for the scenery, the incredible eateries and true Cornish ambience.
We cater for Babies and Children and can provide a Cot, Highchair and Stairgates if needed.
Dogs are considered - please enquire before booking.
Absolutely No Smoking or Parties, Stags or Hens - not because are boring or strict but because the minority ruin it for everyone else.
Sorry about that.
