Turtle Cottage, Charlestown
Surrounded by beautiful Cornish countryside, Turtle Cottage is only a minutes walk away from the main harbour which is alive with eateries & watering holes, coffee and gift shops, The Shipwreck Museum and of course, Charlestown beach. Charlestown is often associated with its role in the filming of various movies and TV shows, including Poldark, due to its well-preserved waterfront and 18th-century atmosphere. Turtle cottage is approached by a private driveway which leads to Polmear Farm and where allocated parking is available, including EV charger. It is a mid-terrace barn with 3ft thick exposed granite and cob walls making it very sound proof. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an open plan living area with vaulted ceiling, oozing character and warmth, creating a home from home feeling making it the perfect getaway. The living area consists of a newly built fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge area. A corridor leads off the lounge to the main bathroom which has a bath and large walk-in shower. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom plus a king bedroom with an en suite shower room. A further spacious super-king (or twin) bedroom is accessed by stairs that lead from the living room up to a mezzanine snug area. The bedroom itself is large and has its original beams, low windows and skylights. Outside the front of Turtle Cottage is a lawn area and a private garden seating area with dining furniture, parasol and BBQ - perfect for alfresco dining on a Summer's evening.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
