Pebbledrift

Pebbledrift is a characterful cottage situated in Charlestown, Cornwall.

Boasting a reverse-level layout, an enclosed patio with a hot tub and a location close to Charlestown’s historic harbour and beach, this inviting property makes a lovely base for families and friends seeking a coastal escape.

Park the car in the private off-road parking space within the development and admire the charming stone and brick exterior before making your way inside.

Step into the entrance hallway, where oak-style flooring leads you towards the ground-floor sleeping quarters, starting with a double bedroom where you can unpack your belongings and settle in after your journey.

Across the hallway, the twin bedroom provides a restful space for two more guests, while the family bathroom invites you to start the morning beneath the shower over the bath or enjoy a soak after a day exploring the Cornish coast.

Climb the timber staircase to discover the bright, open-plan living space on the first floor, where windows draw in the daylight and create an inviting setting for spending time together.

Take a seat on one of the two sofas and flick on the TV for an easy-going evening, before stepping across to the kitchen area to prepare something to eat; use the oven and hob to cook a family favourite, keep ingredients chilled in the fridge/freezer, warm up a quick bite in the microwave or pop the kettle on for a warming drink, while the washing machine takes care of sandy clothes after trips to the beach.

Pull up a stool at the breakfast bar for a morning coffee or gather around the dining table for a meal together as you decide where tomorrow's adventures will take you.

Back outside, open the gate to the enclosed patio, bordered by stonework, and sink into the bubbles of the hot tub after a day beside the sea.

When you are ready to venture out again, Charlestown's harbour, beach, restaurants, pubs and bars are all within easy reach, while a shop can be found a short distance away.

Spend a day at the Eden Project, where you can wander through vast indoor biomes, discover plants from around the world and explore the extensive outdoor gardens.

Head to Charlestown's historic harbour to admire the distinctive Georgian port, follow the waterfront beside its tall ships and spend time on the nearby beach.

Venture to the Lost Gardens of Heligan to stroll through restored historic gardens, encounter the subtropical planting of the Jungle and discover sculptures woven into the landscape.

Nearby St Austell provides further shops and places to eat, while the cathedral city of Truro offers another destination for a day out in Cornwall.

Make Pebbledrift your base for discovering the harbour, coastline and attractions of this corner of Cornwall.
