Holiday Cottage
St Austell
Cornwall
Experience refined coastal living at this beautifully restored former Customs House—an exceptional choice for families and couples searching for a St Austell holiday cottage with sea views. Showcasing an authentic local granite facade, original exposed timber beams, and stylish contemporary interiors, this select harbour retreat is situated in the heart of Charlestown, offering a idyllic setting on South Cornwall’s coast.
Take a short stroll from your door down to Charlestown’s famous UNESCO World Heritage Georgian harbour—famed for its historic tall ships, waterside eateries, and starring role as a filming location for BBC’s Poldark. Explore the coastal footpaths framing nearby Carlyon Bay, relax in sheltered sandy coves, or visit nearby traditional fishing villages like Fowey and Mevagissey. Positioned just a few miles from the town of St Austell, guests enjoy effortless access to top Cornish attractions including the Eden Project (under 5 miles), the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown Shipwreck Museum, Lanhydrock House (National Trust), and Cardinham Woods.
