This little cottage sits at the end of a Georgian terrace in Charlestown harbour. And just like its setting, there’s an inspiring quality to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. Filled with the rejuvenating spirit of the sea, it’s a wonderful place to retreat, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. From the curated art and objects to the soft tones and textures, every detail feels considered and carefully placed to enrich your stay with comfort. And whether you're enjoying a morning coffee in the garden or staying cosy by the fire, it’s easy to feel at home here. Stepping outside it’s just a short stroll down to the beach and across the quay to the UNESCO harbour village – here you’ll find a restaurant, pub, wine bar, cafe and antiques shop. And if you feel like exploring further along the coastline, the Eden project and the lost gardens of Heligan are less than a twenty–minute drive away. Wherever the day takes you, this charming cottage is a wonderful place to savour the sweetness of seaside living.
