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!

Beautifull cottage to enjoy whole Cornwall

We loved the stay at Mona`s Cottage in a perfect location. The cottage was like described and offered everything you need for a nice holiday. The most advantage was the lovely chimney and the short distance to harbour and beach. The friendly welcome gave us a good feeling at the cottage.

Lovely cottage in a central location

The cottage was exactly as described and we were met by the owner who was extremely helpful and friendly. It is in a great location which is very close to the harbour but also quiet. The cottage is full of original features and character but has all necessary modern facilities.

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!

Great cottage, super location

The cottage is very well maintained, very clean and well stocked with all we needed. The cottage has been well cared for, I’m quite picky but had nothing to complain about at all. The two levels of small patio and garden caught the sun morning and evening, and from the upper level we could see the sea. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance, so no need to drive.

Had an amazing stay at Mona's cottage, excellent property above the harbour.. with plenty of restaurants to choose from! What a view to wake up to, from the front bedrooms! We were met at the front door by Carole who introduced us to the cottage and had advice of places to visit. Great cottage, well equipped, in a central location for visits to some amazing places in Cornwall

Lovely, comfortable cottage with sea view in very quiet area of Charlestown. Had everything that we may have needed and lovely care package of wine, yeast cakes, clotted cream and milk.

Such a beautiful cottage and location

Mona's cottage was just as described. It was on a quiet street just back from the harbour and the parking right outside was a real bonus. The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable. Fabulous shower..! Lovely outdoor space and very close to the harbour and the beaches. All correspondence and the welcome from the owner was great - thank you Carole.. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely, cozy cottage in the heart of Charlestown.

Carole's place is a lovely, cozy cottage, with plenty of light and lovely views of the harbour. While the rooms are not large, there are plenty of them with room for everything. Carole is a very accommodating host, leaving us all the makings of a cream tea and a bottle of wine. The restaurants and shops are only a few steps away. Highly recommend. Thanks, Carole, for sharing your lovely cottage with us.

Excellent stay

Carole was wonderful and met us at the door to explain everything. House is lovely and everything is provided. We had a little welcome package too which was very much appreciated. Charlestown is close to lots of lovely places to visit including the Lost gardens of Heligan, the Eden project and St Austells brewery. There are also lots of coffee shops, bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommended.

Lovely home from home

Charlestown is such a lovely, picturesque place to visit, and even nicer to stay. And Mona's Cottage is an ideal home from which to do so. It has a nice lay out, is very well furnished and has all the nice touches you might want, including a hallway where you can take off your boots and hang up all your outdoor clobber. There are several excellent eating out options in the village and a nearby Tesco if you prefer to self cater most of the time, as we did. I can also recommend the 1.5 mile cliff walk from the village to Carlyon Bay where there are a number of cafe and drink options on the beach.

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.

Great location smashing house!

The cottage looks even more charming and well-lit inside than the photos suggest. It has been restored beautifully with period-appropriate detail and decorated in a clean and minimalistic (but sufficiently warm) style. Some partial to good sea views from the front bedrooms and the upper part of the garden. The house is just up the hill from the historic harbor where there are plenty of good food options for such a small village. The village is centrally located along the coast, which is helpful as the best sandy beaches are further along the coast (but in areas that were too quiet for my taste). The kitchen has perfectly adequate but not generous equipment so we cooked in several nights. Very happy with our stay and would definite book again.
