Please book this cottage if you want perfection.Its perfect for a couple to stay in,clean,comfortable and classy. We own a home Interiors business and noted that all the furniture and accessories are of excellent quality and the owners have decorated each room superbly. The cottage is a 20 minute walk into Charlestown,which is the most beautiful harbour and blue sea you could want. The owners are very attentive but discreet,living next door.We could not find fault with anything in our week's stay there.

Just back from a glorious week in Cornwall staying at Little Pippin. I am a regular solo self catering holiday maker, and have stayed in some real doozies over the years..... from damp to dirty to ill equipped. But Little Pippin has restored my faith! Spotlessly clean inside, and designed and decorated for complete and utter comfort, there was nothing that I could fault. The property is located at the end of a private lane, and had a designated parking space right outside the front door. The open plan styling downstairs with patio doors onto the garden was perfect, and the kitchen was very well equipped and immaculate. The open plan gallery style bedroom was every girls dream ! Deep sumptuous carpet, gorgeous linens and light that floods in every morning with a dawn chorus from the many birds in the garden - and a stunning en-suite with the best shower I have ever used. As you can guess, I loved it and didn't want to come home. The location is perfect for Charlestown with it's tall ships and harbour, and Carylon Bay, which has a fabulous huge beach - even better, both places can be reached on foot via some lovely footpaths. The Eden Project is just up the road - not cheap but well worth a visit, but make sure to wear comfy shoes and be prepared for extreme humidity in the Rainforest Biome; The Lost Gardens of Heligan are stunning and also worth a visit, as is Lanhydrock. But the best bit was returning after a day out to the luxury of Little Pippin - a real diamond of a place. Oh, and have to mention Reggie the dog - a real cutey.

“Weather mostly surprisingly good for England.”

Cottage very comfortable, bright and modern. District convenient for touring and very good restaurants close by.

Immaculate inside and out, spotlessly clean, and with a luxurious design, I can honestly say I have never holidayed anywhere as wonderful as this. I've stayed in many self catering holiday apartments/chalets/lodges, but Little Pippin is head and shoulders above any of them. Things I loved : ALL of it !!! But specifically, the warm and genuine welcome from the owners and Reggie the dog; the glorious peaceful and light filled bedroom with its delicious linens and decadent bathroom; the well equipped and practical open plan kitchen and lounge; the access to the garden for a peaceful sunny read with a cuppa or a glass of vino - and the designated parking space right outside the front door. I'll say it again - perfect ! Ideally located for some lovely walks to Charlestown - which is stunning - and Carylon Bay and on to Par, both of which have glorious beaches just perfect for beach combing. The Eden Project is just up the road, and whilst pricey, is worth a visit just to marvel over the sheer audacity of what has been achieved. The Lost Gardens of Heligan is 20 minutes away by car and is a definite must see - a great way to spend a day. And Lanhydrock National Trust is also beautiful. And the return to Little Pippin after a day out was the icing on the cake ! Thankyou for a wonderful stay - I will be back !

“The cottage was wonderful - well equipped, clean, comfortable, modern, in a great area and with the added advantage of having the extremely kind owners on hand to answer every question and offer help and advice whenever it was needed.”

We will definitely make a return visit. We just wish we lived a little bit closer so we could go more than once a year!

Mrs Knott, May 2019

On the ground floor is the entrance hallway with storage, smart cloakroom and bright open-plan living room with modern kitchen including breakfast bar and all the appliances, plus comfy seating and patio doors leading out to the attractive garden.

Charlestown, famed for TV's Poldark, is home to Tall Ships, rustic inns and galleries, gift shops and eateries - a firm favourite!

The charismatic resort of Fowey is seven miles away with popular Regatta Week.

The harbour is pretty; hire a boat and discover the hidden creeks, take a pleasure boat trip or fishing excursion.

The water taxi to Polruan and Mevagissey makes a fun jaunt and the Bodinnick car ferry lands at Looe and Polperro – lunch aside the quay in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Play golf at one of the three local courses.

Visit The Eden Project with remarkable bio-domes of flora and fauna, just a 10-minute drive away.

After a day in the Cornish air, Little Pippin is a superb choice to return to - relax in the garden with a barbecue nibble and glass of fizz.

About the location

ST. AUSTELL

Charlestown 2 miles; Carlyon Bay 3 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles; Fowey 8 miles.

The old market town of St. Austell lies just a few miles from the south coast, and is famous for its China Clay mining history. Today, home to numerous beaches and sub tropical gardens, it is a popular place for tourists, and families, with plenty to see and do. Get back to nature with the wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the ever-popular Eden Project, perfect for a family day out, or discover the delights of Caerhays Castle and Garden, flourishing in the maritime climate. Home to the St. Austell Brewery, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind, while sampling the delights of the local beer, after a tour of the Victorian brewery, and for those who love the surf and sand, St. Austell has plenty of both to choose from. Visit the beautiful sandy beach at Porthpean, or spend time at Carlyon Bay with its ever-popular shingle beach, a favourite for sun worshippers, but if you prefer a dip in the water, Polkerris is the place for you. Situated in a safe cove, it is renowned for variety of watersports. Whether it’s sailing, windsurfing or swimming you're looking for, Polkerris Beach has it all. Charlestown is a pretty, historical port just two miles away, famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, and is well worthy of a visit whilst staying in St. Austell. A short drive will take you to fashionable Fowey or the fishing port of Mevagissey, and with lots to do, and something to keep the whole family entertained, St. Austell is a great year round location.
