  • "Our stay at the Old Smokehouse was fantastic!"

    The cottage is beautifully presented and equipped with everything we needed. Waking up to see the seaview was very special! Charlestown is a great village steeped in history and we took full advantage of the local restaurants and pop-up bars around the harbour. The cottage also provides a great base to go exploring the local area - with the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the beautiful fishing village of Mevagissey only 10-15 mins drive away. One of the best cottages we've stayed in as a family.

    The allocated parking space reduced the stress of knowing where to park in an unfamiliar place. The location was amazing with lots of places to eat locally (some do require booking). The property itself was perfect, a home from home with a lovely view of the harbour from the main bedroom. Quality bedding, well equipped kitchen and the washing machine came in handy when the children decided to go into the sea with clothes on (

Your home away from home

Set within a scenic position on the harbour of Charlestown, in Cornwall is The Old Smokehouse, enjoying stunning views of the Cornish coastline.

Still containing some of its original features and combining contemporary charm, this cottage has been lovingly converted into the perfect family holiday home or couple's retreat, welcoming four guests.

The open-plan living space boasts a wonderful social aspect; with an Atlantic theme throughout the property, in keeping with its delightful harbourside location, this room invites everyone to gather after a day of exploration to relax on the leather sofa to watch a film on the Smart TV.

The well-equipped, sleek kitchen also has charming traditional features and offers every essential for preparing a delicious dinner for the group; why not enjoy fresh seafood brought from the coast?

Indulge in tasty treats at the dining table before an evening of board games.

Moving onto the first floor you can find the two bedrooms, both with their own feature wallpaper and TVs to keep you entertained in the evenings; you'll find an impressive king-size and an equally elegant twin, the perfect set up for a family of four, both with ample storage and serviced by a spacious bathroom.

In the mornings, enjoy a coffee and take one of many books from the shelf before heading to the front lawn with your canine companion by your side to begin your day amongst the fresh breezes of the harbour.

This attractive property is conveniently situated in the midst of Charlestown’s Georgian harbour, a fabulous spot which has served as the setting for TV’s Poldark series and where you can discover The Tall Ships.

You will be spoilt for choice by the selection of fine pubs and restaurants catering for all tastes.

Nearby Carlyon Bay has a fabulous coastline with some lovely walks, sheltered coves and traditional fishing villages (such as Mevagissey) for a wonderful day out.

Attractions include the Eden Project, the Ship Wreck Centre, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Poldark Mine, Cardinham Woods and the National Trust property of Lanhydrock House.

The Old Smokehouse is a wonderful retreat to spend quality time with your loved ones at any time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
