Answer the call of the coast at this nautical-themed Grade II-listed cottage in Charlestown, perfect for couples, families and four-legged friends craving an escape to the golden sands and cliff-top walks of the Cornish coast.

Hang up the leash in the entrance hallway and follow the warmth of the wood burner into the cosy lounge that’s brimming with charm, featuring exposed brickwork and a beamed ceiling; your pup won’t be able to resist snoozing at your feet as you sit back and relax. Reminiscent of days gone by, the delightful kitchen/diner provides plenty of space for your whole pack to enjoy some tasty local treats. Wash off a beach day in the contemporary shower room upstairs before retiring to the king-size or twin zip-and-link bedroom (can be made into a super-king-size); nautical touches embrace the coastal scenery. Little paws can sniff around the lawn in the enclosed front garden as you watch the world go by from the comfort of the patio. At the back of the cottage, across the shared pathway, steps lead up to a second garden (unenclosed), which overlooks fields at the rear. On-street parking is subject to availability.

Retaining much of its Georgian character, the village of Charlestown is the perfect base to explore the Cornish coast. There are plenty of exciting new smells to enjoy around the idyllic Grade II-listed Charlestown Harbour (0.5 miles), whilst the South West Coast Path is less than half a mile from the doorstep, and provides miles of scenic cliff-top and woodland trails to enjoy on foot or two wheels if your four-pawed pal can keep up. Discover the glorious botanical beauty of The Lost Gardens of Heligan (6.5 miles) with your canine companion or enjoy the golden sands of Gorran Haven Beach, 11 miles from home, which is dog-friendly all year round.

Lovely comfortable cottage, clean and well appointed. Location with regards to Charlestown was perfect - super quiet yet less that 5 mins from the town and eateries. Only downside was a struggle to find green spaces for our dog. Beaches in Charlestown not dog friendly and the next nearest beach at Carlyon Bay was awful - covered in litter and noRead moret real sand which our dog cut his paw pad on as it was so sharp. We intend to return to the cottage as it is so well placed for visiting the area. Holidaycottages reply: Thank you for your feedback. Updated information on local dog walks is now provided in the cottage. Hide
