Oh Buoy!

Oh Buoy is a ground-floor 2-bedroom cottage in Charlestown, sleeping 4 across 1 bathroom. The property has accessible features throughout, a garden patio, parking, wifi, and a dishwasher. It holds a 10 out of 10 rating on Sykes from 67 guest reviews.

Charlestown Beach is 400m from the cottage - a compact sandy beach at the foot of the historic harbour village. The beach is sheltered from westerly winds and is used regularly by kayakers and paddleboarders. Carlyon Bay is 0.9km along the coast, a long arc of sand with a surf school and seasonal lifeguard service. Porthpean Beach is 1.3km south-west - a small, quiet cove without facilities that is popular with families in summer.

Charlestown itself is a late 18th-century port built to export copper ore and china clay, and the harbour is now used as a filming location for period productions. Square-rigged tall ships are often moored in the inner harbour and can be viewed from the quayside. The village has a pub, a restaurant, and the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. St Austell town centre, with a rail station and supermarkets, is a short drive inland.

Suits couples or small groups of up to 4 who want a central village location with easy access to multiple beaches and do not need dog-friendly accommodation. Not great for guests who need a washing machine or a garden with privacy. Changeover is Friday.
