Rose Bud Cottage

Rose Bud Cottage is a single-storey 1-bedroom property at Little Polgooth, near St Austell, sleeping 2 across 1 bathroom. The cottage is set within a barn conversion complex with its own garden and patio. Wifi, parking, and a washing machine are included.

Polgooth sits between St Austell and Mevagissey in central Cornwall, putting it within easy reach of several different kinds of day out. Porthpean Beach is 2.2 miles south - a small, sheltered family beach with a sailing club and calmer water than the exposed Atlantic-facing beaches. Pentewan Beach, a longer stretch with a holiday park alongside, is 2.3 miles.

The Eden Project is roughly the same distance north as Porthpean is south. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 3.7 miles, and Charlestown harbour - a working tall-ship port used as a film and TV location - is around 2.9 miles east. The village of Mevagissey, with its fishing harbour and independent shops, is a 15-minute drive.

Good for couples who want to use central Cornwall as a hub for day trips across the county, covering both coast and inland attractions across a week. Less suitable for those who want to walk straight to a beach or stay in a busy town.

Highlights include a private garden and patio, single-storey layout, parking on site, and a central location giving easy access to Porthpean, Eden, and Heligan within a short drive.
