The only thing we could see as a possible problem is parking. If there had been four in the party (cottage slept four) not sure where second car would have parked.

“We found treasure!”

My partner and I decided for a change to spend some holiday time in the UK and saw this property on line. The pictures on line only just do the property justice. This is a lovely place to spend time - even if you don't wish to see the local attractions! The property is immaculately kept and is well equipped. If the weather is kind you have your own patio as well. Well presented and lovingly kept we would recommend this property without reservation. The couple who run and own this property (one of four in a row) could not do enough for us. Close to Charlestown (which is lovely), Fowey and the Eden project but also easy by car to get to other areas such as Looe and Lanhydrock - even St.Michael's Mount is only an hour away by the excellent roads.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the barrow (clean and extremely comfortable) but I think the listing should note that the cottage is directly on the road (but that the road is generally quiet).

The Barrow is a lovely conversion, with all we could need. A warm welcome and a friendly and accommodating owner. Well equipped, clean and comfortable property. Property ideally located for visiting nearby places of interest. An interesting circular walk passes the door and takes you through woods, past leats, wheel pits and across a viaduct.

We went for our 25th wedding anniversary & had a fantastic week which was only made more worth while by the awesome accommodation & weather. It was so good that we've already booked up to come back again in September..happy days.

“The cottage was of an excellent ...”

The cottage was of an excellent standard, the furnishings, décor and facilities all very very good. One of the best we have stayed in and for the price probably the best. The location is excellent for a lot of what Cornwall has to offer. Only minutes from some excellent beaches, and lots of main tourist attractions. Every night we came back to the cottage it was lovely and warm, and was the same every morning we got up.

Wheal Rashleigh Dry Cottages

These superb cottages are part of a small collection of holiday properties on the edge of the former mining town of St Blazey. Wheal Rashleigh Dry Cottages have been beautifully-converted from an old china clay drying house and are situated just a mile from the world-renowned Eden Project and two miles from the sandy beach at Par. Imaginatively-designed in an upside down style, each of the cottages has retained wonderful character features including wooden beams and the original chimney, as well as offering contemporary touches such as floor to ceiling windows in some rooms offering views across the grounds. Each cottage has a small private patio area as well as access to large communal grounds, whilst a five minute walk will take you into St Blazey where you will find a selection of local shops. For a wide range of local amenities, St Austell, Cornwall's largest town, can be reached in less than ten minutes by car, or you may wish to visit the harbour at Charlestown, which often plays host to tall ships. Undoubtedly, the main attractions in this part of Cornwall are the magnificent gardens, with the Eden Project just a thirty minutes’ walk away from these cottages. Alternatively, the Lost Gardens of Heligan are only ten miles away, so you are totally spoilt for choice as to how to fill your days. There are also many small Cornish fishing villages and towns within easy reach. Looe, Polperro and Fowey, to name just a few, all offer a good selection of restaurants to suit all tastes. With their perfect location for visiting the many attractions that Cornwall has to offer, these holiday homes offer superb year-round destinations near to the south Cornish coast.

About the location

ST BLAZEY

Eden Project 1 mile; Charlestown 3 miles; St Austell 3 miles.

St Blazey is a small town situated three miles east of St Austell and was formerly an important engineering centre for the local mining and railway industries. The town is nowadays best known for being the closest to the Eden Project. Nearby Charlestown is a delightful and much sought after coastal village of stone cottages and regency houses. It is famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path. The old market town of St. Austell lies just a few miles from the south coast, and is famous for its China Clay mining history. Today, home to numerous beaches, (including dog-friendly Par Sands) and sub tropical gardens, it is a popular place for tourists, with plenty to see and do. A short drive will take you to fashionable Fowey or the fishing port of Mevagissey, and with lots to do, this is a great year round location.
