Harbours Reach

Harbours Reach is a two-bedroom cottage sleeping four on the edge of Charlestown. A king-size bedroom overlooks the rear garden, and the second bedroom has twin beds at the front of the property.

One bathroom serves the cottage. Wi-Fi and a washing machine are included, and an enclosed rear courtyard terrace gives private outside space, useful with the up to two dogs the cottage accepts. One car can use the driveway. The living room has a sofa, two armchairs and a Smart TV, and the kitchen has a dining table for four. A ground-floor cloakroom has a WC and a back door to the garden. The king-size bedroom has two large wardrobes. Rates are quoted per night rather than per week.

Charlestown Beach is 800 metres away, a mixed sand-and-rock shore beside the Georgian harbour used for filming Poldark. Carlyon Bay is 0.7 miles and Porthpean Beach 0.9 miles further along the coast. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are roughly 5 miles along the coast road and the Eden Project is about a 10-minute drive inland. The Charlestown guide covers the harbour and the coast path in both directions.

**Best for:** a family or two couples wanting private driveway parking, an enclosed courtyard for dogs and Charlestown harbour within reach. **Less good for:** guests wanting step-free access.
