  • "Just had a great week stay in Poldark Cottage to celebrate two Birthdays, the cottage was beautiful, clean comfortable and everything we could possibly need, and plenty of room for our two cars right outside the door."

    Enjoyed the log fire on the cold evenings, in saying that we were blessed with good weather all week so we were able to get about and go on walks around Charletown. We would definitely recommend the cottage and would stay there again. Ann Mike Clair & Michael

  • "Lovely cottage in a perfect location."

    Charlestown is delightful and there is so much to do in and around. The cottage has everything you need but it would be nice to have a folder of a few instructions about a few items. But this is minor. It is comfortable and perfect for a home away from home.

    Fantastic to just get up early and wander around the harbour before breakfast. The cottage was spotlessly clean and warm on our arrival. The beds were so comfy, the bedding really cosy. The kitchen was really well equipped it had everything we could possibly need. Great to come in after long walks and relax in front of the log burner. We had a lovely stay

    Very well equipped kitchen, everything you could need. Quality furnishings. Been decorated and re-carpeted since original photos on Sykes. Not sure you could park 3 cars but we managed with 2 (suv and an estate) cars. TV remote needs new batteries as had to swap with dvd ones, gas fire lighter was empty/didn't work, only minor things but other than that a lovely stay, good communication with owner too. Thank you

  • "The house was lovely and comfortable in a great location."

    The facilities were as we expected and we particularly appreciated the log burner which kept the living room lovely and warm. Kitchen utensils were better than we've had in other rentals, so we had everything we needed for meal prep. We had to turn the central heating down as it kept kicking in through the night. And we turned radiators in the bedrooms down as they were far too warm, which is much better than being too cold! We had a wonderful week there - thank you.

    Three big bedrooms with two bathrooms was a great size for us to stay in at New Year. The house is tastefully decorated and feels like a real home from home. The parking is a real bonus and the location, 50m from the harbour, pubs etc is excellent. We would not hesitate in staying here again.

    Fantastic location with easy access to places of interest. Parking was good. Only downside was the lack of maintenance of both front and back gardens e.g. full of weeds in the paving, cracked paving stones and wall and mismatched furniture. Not what we would expect of a 5* property.

  • "Great cottage."

    Excellent location - close to the wonderful harbour and pubs/restaurants. We struck it lucky with the weather so we were able to walk from Charlestown to Carlyon Bay which was well worth it. Parking is limited - it would be difficult if you had more than one vehicle. The cottage was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay enjoyable, the only issue was the double bed wasn't very comfortable as the mattress had seen better days. Unfortunately, there is a business at the back of the cottage and they were very noisy early in the morning (05:30) so a lie-in wasn't on the cards. Nevertheless, would fully recommend it.

    The Cottage was spacious, extremely clean and decorated and furnished to the highest quality. We had everything we needed. It was in a great location, within a very short walk to restaurants and harbour, literally a couple of minutes. There was also the added advantage of parking. There were Three couples and so Three cars, but there was plenty of room. The Cottage also had outside space with patio furniture and canopy. We all enjoyed the garden on our return from days out. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to staying again.

    The house is well appointed and maintained and works well for 6 adults. The compact garden is more than functional and catches the sun perfectly from late morning into the evening. The owners were keen to help with the one minor question we had when we were down there, visiting in person to solve the situation. The only (very) minor issues were the lack of soap on arrival, and a trickyTV system to figure out, but all in all I would definitely recommend this property to any group of 4-6 people

The property

Situated in one of the finest locations in the unspoilt and historic working port and village of Charlestown, Poldark Cottage is hidden away along a quiet lane yet only a couple of minutes level walk from the world-famous harbour and beach.

With private parking directly opposite the cottage you enter into the hallway and immediately feel at home.

The living room is particularly comfy with a log burner for the cooler evenings adding to the atmosphere of this lovely cottage.

From here you can access the private garden at the rear with a patio and ample furniture to relax at any time of day.

On the first floor there are three beautifully furnished bedrooms, all with TV's, with two being zip-and-link beds giving you the option of two singles or a king-size double in each.

There are two bathrooms here, one on each floor with a shower in each and a bath in the family bathroom.

To this day Charlestown retains much of its Georgian character and capitalises on its past by harbouring a fleet of square rigger ships transporting you into a bygone era.

You wlll see why this unique combination of character and history so well preserved has led to Charlestown being such a popular location for filming, in particular, the TV series Poldark.

In fact you might well experience filming taking place when you stay here such is the proximity of the cottage to the heart of the harbour and village.

Of an evening as well as lunchtime you are well-catered for in terms of character pubs and excellent restaurants and cafes all within a few minutes' walk.

Poldark cottage provides excellent accommodation in a very special location and is available throughout the year.
