The property is in a fantastic location and just a 5 minute walk from Charlestown’s picturesque harbour, beach, coastal walks and local bars, shops and restaurants. We are happy to help you with any recommendation for breakfast, lunch, dinner or cocktails - Charlestown has multiple options for all dining and drinking desires.
