“It was a very nice rural area in Cornwall”
Mr West August 2018

“The Barrow as definitely got the wow factor with it's luxurious comfort and spacious feel.”

Its a fantastic base from which to enjoy Cornwall.
Mrs Buxton August 2018

“Really helpful owners, great accommodation, nice access to outside space, great location and close to alot of tourist spots.”
Miss Vernon June 2018

“The barrow is a lovely place to stay!”

And not too far from local hot spots for tourists either. As nice as the pictures on here are I would say the pictures don’t fully do it justice, as it’s a lot nicer in person. The owners made us feel very welcome & comfortable. Thank you Sheena & John for a lovely stay!
Mr Mcainsh June 2018

“Very pleasant cottage, but only has parking for 1 car, if taking more could be a problem.”

Pleasant 30 min walk to Eden project, and lots of other attractions within 30 mins driving.
Mrs Munden April 2018

“Best place we have ever stayed.”

Five star! Well beyond expectations, this place was perfect. The best equipped, clean, well thought out and in an ideal location. Friendly, welcoming and helpful owners. Highly recommended.
Mrs Gully December 2017

All facilities that you could need. Good place from which to explore the area Would recommend without reservation. Helpful owners.

“To many things to write about,all was really good”

“Fantastic, well maintained property”

We wanted somewhere to stay near the Eden project and after having our touring caravan for years we were unsure about what to expect! John and Sheena (the owners) have thought about pretty much everything. The Barrow is well maintained and presented. It has your own parking space at the front of the property and a lovely little patio to the rear. It is open plan living with bedrooms downstairs. Toilet on both floors. (see photos) The property is situated about a mile from The Eden Project but is a good place to visit surrounding areas. We visited Newquay, Polperro, Padstow, Charlestown, St Mawes, Mevagissey, Falmouth and Looe to name a few. There are loads of places to visit, just a short drive away. When we plan on visiting this area again we will definitely book here again.

“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.

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. .
