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.

Such a lovely place to stay and relax with the family. Didn't need nor want anything else to make this the perfect getaway. Perfect and friendly host

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!

Friendly hosts. Very clean. Thoughtful goodies supplied. Close to restaurants and beautiful harbour. All within walking distance.

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!

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.
