Situated 50yds Off The Harbour, Views Over Sea & Near Coastline, Quality Finish

Our aim is to make you feel comfortable and completely at home in our 1860's cottage, which has been extensively renovated throughout. The original slate front is one of only two which still exist in the village. Two separate good size living rooms and a generous size kitchen gives plenty of family living space whatever the weather. The location is just above the harbour, away from the crowds at peak times, offering privacy yet immediate access to the village, harbour and beaches, ideal for exploring the area on foot, by bus or car. Parking for yourselves and your guests is right outside. A Stable door opens onto the private, sheltered, granite/brick courtyard with elevated lawn area. Ideal to chill out at lunchtime or spend an hour whilst the rest of your party are having a stroll or on the beach. There is both sun and shade. Pop down in two minutes for lunch with them in the pub. Prior to booking please feel free to phone for an informal chat as we want you to be totally at ease about choosing to stay in Mona's cottage. If you stay here we can offer you free unlimited parking 100yds from St. Austell railway station for train days out. Alternatively, if you would like a car free holiday we can offer you complimentary transfers to and from the railway station at the beginning and end of your holiday. We can also arrange transfers to and from Newquay Airport at nominal cost.
If you are trying to find the property on Google Earth there is no Street View as the roads in and around the harbour are all private and have not been surveyed. On the satellite view the cottage can be found by going to the top end of the harbour, look to the right to see the Shipwreck Centre. There is a road which is at right angles to the harbour running up the right hand side of the Shipwreck Centre and at the end on the opposite side there is a row of cottages on the right and a pair of cottages on the left which on the satellite view looks like a large detached property but is actually a pair of semis. The cottage is the right hand one of these.

Wonderful Charlestown Retreat
We had a wonderful stay in this amazing cottage. Lots of room for the whole family and the amenities were great. Charlestown can be notoriously busy, but since this cottage is behind the shipwreck center it was peaceful and quiet even on a busy weekend. Loved waking up to the view of the sea in the distance. We will absolutely consider staying again on a future trip! If I had to come up with any suggestions, I might suggest getting some bedside lamps so that kids who are afraid of the dark can have some light on all night without having to keep the overhead light on. We moved a lamp from the lounge to my daughter's room while we were there so she could have some light. Thanks again for the use of this amazing cottage!

Very enjoyable
Lovely cottage within the village of Charlestown. Comfortable and well equipped, with pleasant outdoor areas. The beds were comfortable and the shower great. We enjoyed the proximity to the coastal path, and Charlestown picturesque harbour with its pubs and restaurants. Handy for getting to Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan which were both great. Also nearby to many villages and beaches. there is so much to see in Cornwall that we didn't manage this time, which all felt within reach with a car from the cottage. We felt the village was missing a corner/grocery shop for essentials, but the supermarkets and bakeries in St Austell are close by and straightforward to get to.

Charming coastal cottage
We loved staying at Mona's Cottage. It was very comfortable with a great dining table for family card games, social living room, nice outdoor courtyard and absolutely great location for exploring Charlestown, taking coastal walks, and visiting nearby sites (Eden Project is a must see). I would definitely book again!

Loved everything about this place
We had an amazing time here. The cottage itself was perfect, and so was Charlestown. I wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were very kind and made themselves available if we needed anything. On our last day here my youngest stated that the cottage felt like home. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Hidden Gem
What a lovely 1800’s built cottage in Charlestown, a hidden picturesque harbour town. The stay at Monas Cottage was fantastic so central for a nice stroll onto the harbour and beach. Fabulous pubs and restaurants. The host was so attentive throughout our break, just a text message away with advice on taxis, eatery’s and general information on the area. Will definitely be back :-)
