Maison Brun

Maison Brun is a 2-bedroom village house in Charlestown, sleeping 4 across a twin and a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room. The property sits a short walk from the 18th-century Georgian harbour that served as a Poldark filming location - one of the most recognisable working harbours on the south coast of Cornwall. The first-floor open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area has a Smart TV and dishwasher, and there is garage parking, though electric vehicles cannot currently be charged at the property.

The garden is private. Dogs are not accepted. Charlestown Beach is 900 metres on foot. Carlyon Bay, the wide sandy beach at St Austell Bay, is 0.8 miles, and Porthpean Beach is 0.9 miles further. The Eden Project is under 10 miles and the Lost Gardens of Heligan under 7 miles, giving good access to two of Cornwall's most-visited attractions without a long drive.

Best for couples or small families who want a historic village setting within easy reach of south Cornwall's beaches. Less good for anyone wanting a remote rural retreat - Charlestown is a village with foot traffic and the harbour can be busy in summer.

St Austell town centre is around 2 miles for larger supermarkets, a railway station, and access to bus routes. Charlestown itself has two pubs and a restaurant alongside the Georgian harbour, which has been used as a backdrop in several television and film productions. The bedrooms are on separate floors, giving two couples reasonable privacy within the layout.
