This Grade II listed cottage blends traditional charm with high spec features and unique vintage finds. At the end of a long lawn on a Georgian terrace in the village of Charlestown, you can find peace and seclusion here while being right by the coast. We love the attention to detail: from the antique trinkets in each room, to the adorable cabin bedroom with its raised double bed and Egyptian cotton sheets. The kitchen is kitted out with top standard appliances, and is perfect for whipping up home cooked meals, which can be enjoyed at the al fresco dining table on warmer nights. Charlestown is a UNESCO world heritage village, home to glorious Georgian architecture and the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Along the quay there is a restaurant, pub, deli and antiques shop, or if you prefer, your host can arrange home cooked meals to be delivered to you at the cottage. On warm summer days, the two beaches on either side of the quay are great swimming spots, and the surfing beach of Watergate Bay can be reached in twenty minutes by car.
