About this property

Pebbledrift Cottage - A Beautiful, Granite Fronted, Self Catering Cottage

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Top Location

Wir waren 1 Woche im August 2019 dort. Das Objekt ist super gelegen für Ausflüge in ganz Cornwall oder einfach nur um ein paar Runden um den historischen Hafen von Charlestown zu drehen und die guten Pubs und Restaurants zu genießen. Das Haus ist eine Art Doppelhaushälfte, von den Nachbarn haben wir aber trotz zweier Hunde die offensichtlich zu der Zeit dort waren absolut nichts gehört. Das Haus ist für ein Ferienhaus durchaus liebevoll ein- und hergerichtet. Es ist wirklich alles vorhanden und in einem guten Zustand. Wir würden jeder Zeit wieder dort hinfahren. Volle 5 Sterne!!

Wunderbares Haus im schönen Charlestown

Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche zu viert im Pebbledrift Cottage verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und ausgesprochen geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Kommunikation mit Dave und Trish und die Ankunft waren auch ohne direkten persönlichen Kontakt sehr herzlich, wir haben uns direkt zu Hause gefühlt. Charlestown ist ein sehr netter kleiner Ort mit viel Charme und guten Restaurants, gut gelegen für Ausflüge in ganz Cornwall und bis ins Dartmoor. Sehr hilfreich ist der Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus. Ansonsten blieben keine Wünsche offen. Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre bei Gelegenheit vielleicht eine neue Matratze für das große Bett.

Großartiges Cottage in traumhafter Lage

Das Ferienhaus bietet alles, was man sich wünscht. Die Idee, die Schlafzimmer im Erdgeschoss unterzubringen ist großartig, So ist es auch im Sommer bei höheren Temperaturen angenehm kühl. Die Kommunikation mit den Eigentümern hat hervorragend funktioniert. Der Ort Charlestown bietet hervorragende Möglichkeiten, gutes und frisches Essen zu genießen und ist ideal gelegen, um Cornwall zu erkunden. Vielen Dank, dass wir da sein durften.

About the host

Hosted by David & Trish Hann

Host profile image
We live in England and are semi retired professionals. We enjoy walking, biking, surfing and general outdoor pursuits and have personally holidayed in Cornwall and in particular Charlestown for around 25 years.

Why they chose this property

We love Charlestown due to it's historic setting complete with Tall Ships and original harbour & buildings, yet with a vibrant and pleasant atmosphere combining old and new.
There are fine beaches within easy walking distance and plenty of local pub, bars and restaurants catering for most tastes within Charlestown itself. You don't need to get the car out for an evening out! Regatta Week (usually in July) is a special celebration with a range of traditional and modern nautically themed activities throughout the week.

What makes this property unique

The property is centrally located within Cornwall with easy road, rail and air transport connections. It is ideally situated for exploring the many beaches on either Atlantic or Channel coastlines, historic country houses and gardens including the Eden project and Lost Gardens of Heligan. The facilities and amenities available within Charlestown itself make it an attractive and interesting holiday location whether for main holidays in peak season or for short breaks off season.
