About this cottage rental

*Welcome To Mona’s Cottage*

As you step through the charming entrance, you’ll feel the warmth of a bygone era embrace you. This beautifully restored 1840s, Grade II listed gem, marries timeless character with modern comforts, ensuring you have a delightful retreat whether you're here for a long weekend getaway or an extended stay. The original slate front, a rare piece of history, is a testament to the cottage's rich heritage, providing a unique snapshot of village life long ago.

The stone-built cottage boasts features including a fully equipped, farmhouse style, kitchen with four ring gas hob, double oven/grill, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge. There are two spacious reception rooms enjoying a SMART TV, feature gas fire and access to complimentary 300MB ultrafast WIFI. Furthermore, there is a generous, vaulted ceiling, bathroom with a wealth of luxury features including a Victorian style pull chain loo whilst upstairs there is an additional W/C and three bedrooms (two doubles and a compact twin) of which two enjoy sea views and the other an inland garden aspect. The courtyard and garden can be accessed via the traditional stable kitchen door and are completely enclosed and private. This provides the perfect place to unwind, read a book or to enjoy the Cornish summer sun with alfresco dining. Private allocated parking for two vehicles is situated directly to the front of the cottage. Should you wish to leave the car at home then Charlestown itself is well connected by public transport.

When you are ready to venture out the harbour, eateries, beaches and coastal paths are just a stone’s throw away ready and waiting to be explored. Further afield and within a short drive are some must see Cornish attractions which include the world-famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan amongst many others. There are also many a National Trust property in Cornwall that are always worth a visit.

We are committed to making your stay with us truly unforgettable, that's why we offer a range of thoughtful touches including an in-person welcome, complimentary goodies on arrival and even transfers to and from the railway station. We'll even arrange, if needed, transfers to and from Newquay Airport at a nominal cost, so you can focus on what really matters – making the most of your Cornish getaway.

Mona's cottage was just as described. It was on a quiet street just back from the harbour and the parking right outside was a real bonus. The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable. Fabulous shower..! Lovely outdoor space and very close to the harbour and the beaches. All correspondence and the welcome from the owner was great - thank you Carole.. I would highly recommend a stay here.

During last two weeks in July 2024 we had spent our family holidays at Mona‘s Cottage. 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.

Lovely, comfortable cottage with sea view in very quiet area of Charlestown. Had everything that we may have needed and lovely care package of wine, yeast cakes, clotted cream and milk. Carole and her husband met us at the cottage and went through everything with us. Would definitely stay again if the chance arose.

Carole was wonderful and met us at the door to explain everything. 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.

My wife, infant daughter and mother in law stayed here for the majority of our vacation in the UK. 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!
