Description

St Austell 2 miles.

Jolly Crabber rests in the coastal village of Porthpean, near St Austell, offering a charming Grade II-listed bolthole steeped in local heritage and well positioned for exploring Cornwall’s scenic south coast.

Steps lead down to a cobbled path and the property’s entrance, creating a sense of arrival as you approach.

Inside, the welcoming open-plan living space brings together the kitchen, dining and sitting areas in one warm and sociable setting, where you can sink into the sofa, flick on the Smart TV (please use your own log in) and settle in after a day by the sea.

This inviting space is well-suited to relaxed evenings, whether you are unwinding with a film or lingering over supper together.

The thoughtfully arranged kitchen features an electric oven and hob, adding a touch of traditional character while providing everything needed for a comfortable stay, from heating up a hearty supper on the gas hob to stocking the fridge/freezer with local produce and warming something quick in the microwave before heading out again.

A useful cloakroom with basin and WC completes the ground floor, while a narrow staircase leads up to the first floor.

Upstairs, a beautifully presented king-size bedroom offers a calm and restful retreat, where exposed timber flooring, an ornate fireplace and built-in wardrobes add character, and sea views provide a soothing backdrop as you unwind at the end of the day, served by a bathroom complete with bath, shower over, basin, heated towel rail and WC, ideal for a long soak after coastal walks.

Outside, the private courtyard with furniture offers a relaxed spot for a morning coffee or a quiet pause before setting off.

There is off-road parking for two cars to the front, keeping things straightforward.

With heritage, coastline and countryside all close at hand, Jolly Crabber makes a cracking base for a Cornish escape.

Note: This property can be booked with ref. 1148771 and ref 1197335 together sleeping up to 10 guests.

What a lovely spacious cottage with a 'wow' factor from the moment we walked in.

It's in a perfect, quiet spot with an amazing view of the sea from the bedroom window complete with a rocking chair to sit in whilst reading your book. It was very clean and cosy with a modern decor. A steep walk down hill, 10 or so minutes to the nearest beach and access up some steep steps onto the South West Coast path. Lots of lovely places of interest to visit within 30 minutes drive away. There are no facilities in the village but, St Austell has all you need and is only down the road.

A quirky cottage in a small Cornish village, well known to us, but the approach to the property may come as a surprise.

The views are worth the journey and its position is ideal. The property is well equipped and the owner was friendly and had helpful information. Will be using it in the future.

An absolute hidden gem of a place, from the accommodation which was lovely, clean and had all that was required to the location which made everything so accessible.

I will 100% be booking again a thoroughly enjoyable stay
