Tehidy

Tehidy occupies the second floor of Carbean Apartments on Fettling Lane in Charlestown - a Georgian port village that has remained largely unchanged since it was built by Charles Rashleigh in the late 18th century. Two bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom, making the apartment comfortable for two couples travelling together or a couple who want a spare room. The listing lists the property as sleeping 2, so verify current capacity before booking if you plan to use both rooms.

The apartment has off-road parking, WiFi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. No garden or outdoor space is attached. Saturday changeover.

Charlestown Beach is 800 metres away on foot - a small sand and shingle beach at the base of the harbour walls. The harbour itself is the more significant draw: it is one of the few surviving 18th-century working china clay ports in Britain, and a fleet of tall ships is based here. The ships are a regular presence and have featured in several film and TV productions. Charlestown Beach is accessible on foot through the harbour gate.

Carlyon Bay, a longer stretch of sand with a beach club and watersports hire, is 0.6 miles east. Porthpean Beach - quieter and more sheltered - is 1 mile along the coast path.

St Austell is about 2 miles north, with a full range of supermarkets and services. The Eden Project is roughly 6 miles northeast. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 8 miles west.

This apartment has 55 reviews on Sykes and is rated 4 out of 5. Good for couples or two friends who want the Charlestown atmosphere without paying coastal premium prices. Not great for those with children under 12 or anyone wanting dog-friendly accommodation.
