About this cottage rental
Our beautiful, granite fronted, self catering cottage has been designed to blend with the charming surroundings of the historic port of Charlestown. The cottage is one of a small group of seven cottages based around a central courtyard. It is 100 yards from Charlestown harbour and Charlestown's two beaches which are recommended by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) for their excellent water quality and has European designated bathing water. Externally, Pebbledrift Cottage has the appearance of a traditional stone cottage with a small south facing gravelled and paved private court yard garden. Internally, the living accommodation is modern and contemporary with bedrooms and bath room located downstairs and open plan living accommodation on the first floor. The open plan first floor is divided into three distinct areas - a lounge area with two sofas, coffee table sideboard and TV, the dining area has a solid wood table and there is a very well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar. The kitchen is well stocked with all crockery, cutlery and utensils we think you will need. Equipment includes a fan oven with electric hob, fridge, freezer, wine fridge, toaster, microwave oven, Wifi & Broadband, Satellite TV (FREESAT), DVD player, IPod dock with MP3 aux connection, dishwasher, washing machine, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, gas central heating and combi boiler for instant hot water. Bed linen and bath/hand towels are provided for use within Pebbledrift Cottage. Please bring your own beach towels. On the ground floor there is a sunny, enclosed, private courtyard garden with table and four chairs plus two folding sun loungers. There is one marked off road private parking place available for Guest use - additional parking is also easy to find on the street or in a public car park approximately 100 yards from Pebbledrift Cottage. There will be no need to get the car out to find somewhere good to eat or drink, daytime or evening, as within easy walking distance of the cottage there are two pubs and a bar which serve food and excellent local ales, as well as a restaurant which specialises in locally caught fish, a bistro/bar and a cafe which serves breakfasts, light meals and cream teas. You can also buy delicious pasties and locally made ice creams at a nearby kiosk. There are craft shops, a gift shop and a gallery too. There is also a fascinating Shipwreck and Heritage Centre as well as the popular annual Charlestown Regatta. Charlestown is in an excellent position to explore the whole of the beautiful county of Cornwall. The coastal path walk can be picked up near the harbour. Golfers are very well catered for too - Carlyon Bay golf course, Porthpean golf course and St Austell golf course are all just minutes away. There is a sailing club at Porthpean, the next village along and, of course there is no shortage of beautiful beaches all within a short driving distance. The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a short drive away, as are the towns of Mevagissey and Fowey. Bodmin Gaol and the Bodmin & Wenford Railway are also worth a visit. There are also several private and NT stately homes and gardens in the vicinity which are well worth a visit. St Austell town is just a couple of minutes by car, has all local town amenities, including two 24 hour supermarkets. St Austell is also on the main line railway and the station is only approximately 1.75 miles away with easy connections to Plymouth, Bodmin, Truro, Penzance, St Ives and beyond. There is also a south facing, private courtyard garden. Off road parking.

Pebbledrift is a very well appointed holiday cottage in an ideal location in the centre of Charlestown with its charming harbour and great restaurants right on your doorstep. We spent a wonderful week catching up with friends, exploring the coast path and visiting the fascinating gardens nearby.

Great stay. Nicely furnished cottage, everything you need is there. a second toilet would still be good if you are a group.

We had a wonderful stay at Pebbledrift, only helped by fabulous weather. It’s a great upside down cottage, with parking space and garden, very well equipped for our needs. We made lots of use of the garden, a real sun trap, great for a for a glass of something in the afternoon sun! As a previous review said it did get very warm upstairs in the evening (skylight and ceiling fans helped) but the bedroom were lovely and cool. We did ‘people watch’ too through the large lounge window.
Brilliant time, can’t wait to return. Thank you

Excellent cottage, excellent location
Charlestown is a very pretty village and the cottage is centrally located - approx 1 minute walk from a Pub (which served great food)! The cottage had everything you would need, spotless and the open plan upstairs was a great area - especially with the large window where you could 'people watch' . I left some clothes behind and David went the extra mile to make sure they were returned to me. Thoroughly recommend Pebbledrift if you're in Cornwall.

This is the 2nd visit to Pebbledrift and again, a wonderful stay in fabulous accommodation. Everything you need and cleanliness great. Location couldn’t be better, especially with its own parking space - which is like gold dust!!
Many Thanks

Great cottage in fantastic location
Pebbledrift Cottage was an excellent place to spend a week. It was clean, comfy and well-equipped and really well located for walks, cycle rides and trips to the beach. Being a 1 minute stroll from Charleston Harbour and its pop-up bars and restaurants was a joy and the more mundane necessities such as Tesco were extremely convenient too. We hope to return and would certainly recommend.

Attractive, comfortable cottage in great location
Situated in a small courtyard of 8 cottages., few steps to all the amenities of Charlestown Harbour. Walkable to beach. Private parking space. Light, airy and modern open plan kitchen/dining living room is on the upper level. Very well equipped. Excellent water pressure ensures a good shower. Lovely sunny courtyard garden. Couple of minor niggles reduced our rating from 5 to 4 star: Lack of modern SMART TV so can't access Netflix, BBC iplayer etc,; bathroom gets rather musty as no opening window and ineffective fan - very thin towels too; lack of some basic provisions such as salt and pepper and washing machine powder, which are usually provided with rentals. All issues easily rectified and did not detract from our stay overall.

Great location and very comfortable cottage in central Charlestown
Spent a week here and instantly liked it when we walked in. Very clean, fresh and welcoming. Very close to several restaurants and pubs in Charlestown with a 2 minute walk to the sea. Well equipped and bright interior with own car parking space. The only slight downside to the cottage is that it did tend to get a little warm upstairs in the kitchen and living area although the host does provide a number of fans. The downstairs bedrooms were in contrast nice and cool.

Pebble drift cottage - Charlestown
Perfect for a family of 4 (kids 12 & 15), 200 metres from Charlestown Hub. Easy parking. Supermarkets less than a mile away. We used it as a base to travel to other parts of Cornwall including Tintagel (60mins), Gwithian beach (60 mins) and Lizard (1hr 20). Eden project 10 mins away.

Lovely cottage
We had a great week in Pebbledrift cottage which was as lovely as the photos suggested. It was immaculately clean and equipped with everything that we needed. We made full use of the little garden and appreciated the parking space as the village got very busy. Location was great; we were able to walk to a supermarket and bakery as well as access the coastal paths, and being close to the A road meant easy drives further afield. Charlestown itself is extremely pretty with plenty of venues for eating. It did get very busy and wasn’t the sleepy harbour village we had imagined! However we had amazing weather so this may have contributed to its popularity.
We would definitely recommend Pebbledrift as a perfect holiday base.

A delightful cottage
Pebbledrift Cottage was everything we hoped for during our wonderful week in Charlestown. The accommodation was spotless and were delighted to find a Cream Tea waiting on arrival! The restaurants in the Harbour provide something for everybody and some much needed refreshment after long walks along the coastal paths. We highly recommend Pebbledrift to everyone!

An excellent cottage in a unique Georgian port.
We have stayed at Pebbledrift many times and always feel welcome there.
The clean, well appointed cottage has private parking and is very convenient for all of Charlestown’s attractions.
The Eden Project is very near, as are many other towns and Cornwall’s capital city, Truro.
An excellent cottage which we hope to visit many more times.

Very relaxing break in gorgeous coastal cottage
My husband, 2 kids and I had a really lovely time in Pebbledrift Cottage. We were welcomed on arrival at the cottage with fresh scones, cream and jam and appreciated the cleanliness and peacefulness of the cottage from the onset.
We were very lucky with the weather and could enjoy some time down on Charlestown beach which is only a few minutes walk away and also on nearby Porthpean beach. We sampled some local mussels and Cornish beers and cheeses which were all easy to come by.
Pebbledrift Cottage is an ideal location for both the Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Eden Project, both of which were a huge success with all the family. Thank you David and Trish for welcoming us in your home.

Brilliant location, perfectly equipt and a beautiful tasteful decor.
For anyone staying in Charlestown for the first time this is a great location. Private parking and great accommodation. All the facilities you want to make your stay a home from home. Problem is you don't want to leave once you get settled in there. We had a really great time. The beds are comfy, the upstairs open plan living space is well designed and the private courtyard at the side is great to chill with a glass of vino. loved it.

Beautiful Place near the Sea
We had a fantastic week in Pebbledrift - the location is great: 2 minutes walk from the harbour and the local shops, restaurants and pubs and close enough to St Austell and the main roads to get out and about.
Pebbledrift itself is a great place to stay. It has been impeccably and tastefully decorated throughout - the upstairs kitchen/living area was well laid out and fully equipped (although it could get a little warm during the day). Downstairs the beds were comfortable and the shower powerful.
There's a nice little private courtyard outside which is a bit of a suntrap, so perfect to relax in.
All in all, we'd definitely recommend Pebbledrift. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

peaceful family holiday
Amazing place to call home for our half term break in cornwall with 9yr old and 4yr old. Everything you could possibly want in kitchen, including poach pods, salt, pepper, oil etc. Also thoughtful touches such as iron/ hairdryer and clotted cream and scones on arrival ! Bedrooms on ground floor so cooler than kitchen/ dining area, but everything you could need. Even outside area ... lovely bbq on one evening!! Close to 2 supermarkets and all the cornwall attractions only 30mins away. Lovely break!

Superb location, very comfortable modern cottage.
Very comfortable quiet location, in the heart of Charlestown, yet just set back enough of the road to be peaceful. We liked the upside down living, which made the lounge and kitchen airy and light. Every thing we needed was in the cottage, even a welcome cream tea. Even condiments, sauces, washing up liquid etc. all very thoughtful.
