Enjoy easy access to everything from this perfectly located home base. In the middle of town close to all amenities, transport links and restaurants. Close to The Eden Project, Charlestown, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Mevagissey. Some of the best beaches in Cornwall within 2 miles in St Austell Bay. There is driveway parking available for one car. No vans, campers or caravans please.
Hi, I am your host Kate. I’m married to Alan and my mum, Mavis lives with us. Two indoor cats so you might see them at the windows. Nature lovers and bee keepers. Lots to explore in the garden or just relax We live in the house above but you have your own entrance in garden. I will give you privacy unless you need my help.
In the town centre close to bus and train. Many fantastic walks close by. We are in the heart of the clay trails. Miles of beautiful countryside to explore. Bus stops and train station close by
