    "We had a really relaxing holiday and loved number 5 smokehouse."

    Everything - facilities, outlook and position was just perfect. We would love to revisit.

    Thank you Peter. This was lovely to read. So glad you enjoyed your stay and we’d be delighted to welcome you back! Sarah Property Owner

    "Another great stay at the Old Smokehouse."

    Would say the mattress in the master bedroom and all pillows could do with replacing along with the 2 sofas in the lounge. Other than that we enjoyed another great stay in this lovely holidy cottage.

    Hi Mark, thanks for leaving a review and am glad you enjoyed your stay. It’s always lovely when people return. Sorry you felt the bed mattress in the master bedroom wasn’t adequate on this occasion. Unfortunately everyone has different tastes when it comes to mattress firmness but I will check this out when I stay this month. I was a bit surprised re the sofa comment. Perhaps the stuffing in the seat cushions needed a good shake up? Hopefully the new ensuite was a pleasant surprise. All the best, Sarah Property Owner

    Getting hold of Sykes to ask a question was problematic but once I managed that and was given contact details for the owner, they were great and sorted things out very quickly.

    "Overall a great location and a lovely place to stay."

    Down side is that it could have done with a deeper clean, a few more kitchen essentials like more mugs wouldn’t go amiss. There needs a few levels of decor addressing but these are minor points. Views from the house across the harbour, great for food, Porthleven has so much to offer. Would go back to again however and stay in the same property

    Hi Darren, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Apologies for the issues you raised but am glad you still enjoyed your stay. We had work booked in but had to wait for a gap in bookings and tiler’s availability. Since your stay the cottage has had a new ensuite bathroom fitted with a spacious walk in shower and a revamped main bathroom. It’s had a thorough deep clean and we’ve also stocked up on mugs. I do hope you’ll consider us again in the future. Many thanks, Sarah Property Owner

    The Christmas decorations were lovely and the hamper was very welcome. Thought it might be worth mentioning that the hoover seems to need some TLC as it had no suction.

    "Beautifully renovated property with character & such a homely feel it really felt like we were living there."

    Stunning location at the foot of the harbour & we were soooo lucky with the weather during our early October stay. Enjoyed coastal walks to nearby Carlyon Bay & Porthpean and of all the excellent local eateries, the Springtide restaurant was possibly our favourite (delicious mussels from the Bay). For the first time ever, we actually both cried at the end of our week when it was time to come home! Will definitely be back!

    "Lovely place with good facilities and cleanliness."

    Could see the sea from the bed room and lounge windows. Very good location near all shops and restaurants. There were games and CDs for entertainment and a Xbox. Shower was excellent pressure. Garden although lovely has no privacy. The only thing that spoilt it was the neighbours to the right left their dog in the house in the evening around 6ish when they went out and it barked and cried continuously until they returned around 9.30ish. We would most definitely return to stay in the property if we were visiting again.

    Hi Navaz, Thank you for your lovely review of the cottage. I’m very sorry you were disturbed by a dog and inconsiderate neighbours next door. Thankfully this has not happened before. The holiday letting company and owners of that property have been informed and hopefully they are not allowed to stay again. We so hope to see you again! Property Owner

    "Absolutely loved your beautiful property."

    The position and parking excellent. The home is wonderfully furnished and the decor gorgeous. Sofas really comfortable and beds (apart from the single ) really comfortable. Bedding is quality and really comfortable. Suggest that you have somewhere to hang coats and a smaller towel suppled to dry hair but otherwise your property is fabulous.

    Hi Sylvia, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I take on board your comment re the towels. Regarding hanging coats there is a multi coat hanger on the back of the door in the downstairs cloakroom. We felt it was tidier that way rather than being on display in the living room. All the best, Sarah Property Owner

    "Beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable (especially the sofas), and perfectly situated cottage."

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily rebook. So many eateries to choose from (the ice cream parlour at the end of the garden a little TOO convenient!). Two beaches a short walk away. Minor points… the pub behind is noisy till late (heard from back bedroom only). The beds are really comfortable but very low.

    "We had a fantastic stay at 5 The Old Smokehouse."

    The location couldn’t be better, waking up every morning with a view of the sea and Charlestown harbour. We stayed for 2 weeks and the house had all the facilities we needed. The house is really close to some great beaches and the Eden project. We had a toddler with us so the small garden was really handy. Having an ice cream shop pretty much at the bottom of the garden was also a real treat.

    Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and felt you had everything you needed at the cottage. We love the ice cream shop too! All the best, Sarah Property Owner

    There is one thing that would benefit this place and that is a full length mirror positioned somewhere. We like to stay in Charlestown at Christmas, however our son and daughter have one dog each. Is there any flexibility on the one dog rule.

    Hi Karen, thank you so much for the mirror suggestion! We have installed two full length mirrors since your stay. All the best, Sarah Property Owner

The property

5 The Old Smokehouse is a beautifully presented home, enjoying views across the Georgian harbour of Charlestown and out to sea, in the heart of Cornwall. Situated just moments away from the beach and close to a range of local amenities, this pet-friendly property offers stunning sea views and all the comforts of home, making it an ideal base for couples, friends, and small families alike. The property benefits from an off-road parking space, and a private, enclosed front garden, the latter offering a haven for alfresco dining whilst overlooking the beautiful harbour. Step indoors and be met by the open-plan living space, with sumptuous sofas to sink into, a well-equipped kitchen to take advantage of, and a dedicated dining area for all five guests. Prepare and enjoy meals together, flick on the Smart TV for a relaxing night in, or gather outside to plan your Cornish itinerary, with plenty to see and do nearby. As day turns into night, head upstairs to the bedrooms, starting with a king-size room, boasting original beamed ceilings, a modern en-suite shower room, and lovely vistas across the sea; the remaining bedrooms consist of a double and a single, both serviced by a separate bathroom with a further shower and bath. Discover the charming Charlestown harbour, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, before following the coastline around to reach Duporth Beach and beyond for even further coastal scenes.

Charlestown is steeped in history, famous for the tall ships that used to transport the China Clay from the harbour far across the seas, and more recently the filming of TV's Poldark series, Doctor Who and movies such as Alice in Wonderland. Charlestown has a fantastic selection of coffee shops, pubs and restuarants and in the warmer months street food pop ups.

Enjoy traditional food in The Rashleigh Pub or The Pier House, fabulous candlelit seafood at Springtide, delicious burgers and cocktails in Rebellion and a wide variety of upmarket dishes in The Boathouse and The Longstore.

All of which are on your doorstep!

It also has a wonderful selection of boutique shops and galleries for those holiday mementoes and a Shipwreck museum. The nearby St Austell is a bustling market town, brimming with independent retailers and eateries is a must-visit, where you can also tour the St Austell Brewery Visitor Centre, or take a stroll through the historic sailing town of Fowey, travel back in time to Bodmin Jail or visit the beautiful Eden Project, an educational, environmental charity.

The famous Lost Gardens of Heligan and the National Trust property of Lanhydrock House are only a short drive away and guarantee a wonderful family day out. In the surrounding area, you can appreciate the beauty of Cornwall by taking one of the many walks, cycle routes, or horse-riding trails, or perhaps take a boat ride from the harbour, stopping off at many of the golden beachfronts, enveloping the county. Make wonderful memories with a stay at 5 The Old Smokehouse.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
