Why Charlestown Holiday Cottages?
Charlestown is home to a Georgian, Grade II listed harbour,
offering a unique combination that has become a popular location
for film and television. As well as being a harbour location,
Charlestown capitalises on its past by harbouring a fleet of
square-riggers ships, which really do transport you into a bygone
era. With any luck, they'll be here during your Charlestown
cottage holiday and you may get the chance to go on-board or even
see one of them set sail from the harbour. Alternatively, unravel
Charlestown's maritime history at the Shipwreck and Heritage
Centre, displaying all kinds of artefacts including Titanic and
Royal Yacht Britannia displays and Nelson memorabilia.
